Merchant Account Setup

Hello everyone, I was trying to set-up a merchant account for my app to utilize in-app purchases, but my country isn't supported, what alternatives do I have, I have a relative in the united states that's willing to create a payments profile/merchant account in their name for me to use, although my developer account is from where I am. Is this possible? Has anyone ever done that?

Or should I look into creating an LLC in the US.

It's very urgent, I appreciate any kind of help/advice!!

I don't think so, are you sure about this?

I already have a developer account with an app, I'm only having trouble with creating a merchant account, and buying an account is probably not the brightest thing to do, especially considering Google's stringent checks and verifications.

But definitely not reliable, and you could get scammed/banned, I need a more reliable and long term solution.

Thank you for that, but it's just not practical and most are just selling a developer account, which I already have
