Getting Paid from the US Shouldn’t Feel Impossible.
I’m Sharad — an Indian entrepreneur who got tired of seeing Indian businesses rejected by Stripe, PayPal, and banks simply because of their location.
That frustration is why I built Direct-Merchant.org.
We help Indian businesses, freelancers, and startups get approved for US-based payment gateways — quickly, transparently, and with real human support.
Whether you’re a registered company, a solo founder, or operating in a high-risk or low-risk industry, we guide you through the entire merchant account process — online, in-person, or card-not-present.
No guesswork. No vague rejections. Just a clear path to global payments and long-term compliance.

Hi, I’m Sharad. I’ve been exactly where you are — rejected, confused, and unsure whether Indian businesses could ever access reliable international payment systems.
When I tried to set up my own global business, I faced repeated rejections. No one explained what documents were missing. No one offered a roadmap. I lost time, money, and momentum.
Direct-Merchant.org exists so you don’t have to go through that same struggle.
This platform is built on real experience — not theory. I’ve crossed this bridge myself and helped others do the same. Now, I’m here to help you scale globally with clarity, confidence, and compliance.
