Getting Paid from the US Shouldn't Be This Hard.
I'm Sharad — an Indian entrepreneur who was tired of watching Indian businesses get rejected by Stripe, PayPal, or banks just for being Indian.
I created Direct-Merchant.org to change that. We help Indian businesses, freelancers, and startups get approved for US-based payment gateways — fast and with real human support.
We are your go-to solution for all your merchant account needs. Whether you're a registered business looking to apply for a merchant account — high-risk or low-risk — or if you need consultation for your online business, face-to-face transactions, or card-not-present transactions, we cater to businesses of all types.
Our seamless process is designed to support any business — no matter your model or risk level. Whether you're fully online, operate from a retail location, or need help with card-not-present transactions, we'll help you get approved and stay compliant, without the usual guesswork.

Hi, I'm Sharad. I’ve been in your shoes — frustrated, rejected, and wondering if it’s even possible for Indian businesses to get reliable access to international payment systems.
When I tried to set up my own global business, I got rejected by payment gateways just because of my geography. No one told me the exact documents I needed. No one gave me a clear path. I wasted time, money, and energy — just like thousands of others do every day.
That’s why I started Direct-Merchant.org — to make sure you don’t go through the same confusion I did. I’ve been where you are, and I’ve helped others cross the same river. Now, this platform is your shortcut — based on real-life experience, not theory.
This isn’t just a business for me. It’s my way of helping Indian entrepreneurs like you go global with confidence, clarity, and compliance — without the chaos.
