Frequently asked questions
Does Amazon definitely accept an Armenian account?
Not directly — Amazon KDP doesn't send SWIFT transfers to Armenia. But an Armenian sole trader solves that. With Armenian documents you can lawfully open a Payoneer account. Payoneer gives you US bank details, which Amazon accepts without fail. Our team sets that whole payment chain up end to end.
Do I have to come to Armenia to open a sole trader and an account?
No. The whole process of setting up the business and the bank account is entirely remote, under a power of attorney for our lawyers.
Does this work if I already have a KDP account?
Yes. Once you have the Armenian sole trader and Payoneer, you simply update the payment details in your current KDP settings. That's a lawful step and doesn't breach the platform's rules.
Do I have to pay tax in Armenia if I don't live there?
Yes, because your business is registered here. But the rates are minimal (0% to 10%), and we can take on the bookkeeping and filing.
How do I sell an e-book on Amazon if I'm in Russia?
Withdrawing money to Russian accounts directly isn't possible. The best route is to open a sole trader in Armenia remotely, register a corporate Payoneer account on it and link those details to Amazon KDP.
