In my previous article, I addressed some common questions regarding setting up Stripe, and the final query was: “Where can I get Stripe from?” Since Stripe isn’t officially supported in Pakistan, many people quit their X (formerly Twitter) monetization efforts because of this roadblock.

The irony is that most people come to X to earn money, and this barrier only discourages them further.
