Revolut E-Commerce – The complete online-business stack with Revolut

For anyone looking into Revolut E-Commerce, this is the first step. We walk through every detail step by step.

  1. US LLC (New Mexico / Wyoming) as operational entity
  2. Revolut Business on LLC name with USD routing number
  3. Stripe US paying out to Revolut USD subaccount
  4. Shopify / WooCommerce as shop backend
  5. Revolut Metal/Ultra personal for owner’s draws via RevTag
  6. Sevdesk/Lexoffice with DATEV export for German bookkeeping

Setup effort: 1–2 weeks once. Then runs automated.

Stripe US via Revolut Business + LLC

The key hack. Stripe US is Stripe’s home market – lowest fees (2.9 % + 30¢ vs. 1.5–2.5 % + €0.25 in EU), faster payouts, Stripe Atlas + Tax + Climate access. But: requires US entity.

  1. Form US LLC (Bizee, $50–150)
  2. Get EIN from IRS
  3. Revolut Business on LLC name → USD routing
  4. Stripe US on LLC, payout to Revolut USD routing
  5. Stripe pays via ACH, no SWIFT fees

Full guide: Revolut Business for US LLC.

Shopify Payments & PayPal

Shopify Payments: EU uses German Stripe-Connect variant. US pricing needs Shopify on US LLC with Stripe US. Payout to Revolut Business USD.

PayPal Business: Possible on LLC but stricter verification. Open PayPal only after Revolut Business + Stripe are live.

Dropshipping with Revolut

BigBuy (EU dropshipper): SEPA direct debit + card – Revolut Business works smoothly. No foreign-payment surcharge.

AliExpress (China): pays in USD/CNY – Revolut Business multi-currency holds USD directly. FX savings ~€20–35 per €1,000 volume vs. classic bank.

Multi-currency pricing for shops

For multi-country sales, Revolut Business holds 30+ currencies. Workflow:

  • Shopify Markets / WooCommerce Multi-Currency: USD/EUR/GBP pricing separate
  • Stripe accepts in customer’s local currency
  • Stripe pays in USD to Revolut, you keep USD or convert selectively
  • Avoid Stripe auto-FX (extra ~1 %)

Cashflow & RevTag

Inventory cashflow: BigBuy order due now, Stripe payout 2 days later. With RevTag you instantly move from personal reserve to business and back when Stripe lands – no wait times.

Scaling strategy

  1. Phase 1 (0–€10k/mo): Revolut Business Basic, maybe no LLC yet
  2. Phase 2 (€10–50k/mo): US LLC + Revolut Business Grow + Stripe US
  3. Phase 3 (€50k+/mo): Revolut Business Scale + Mercury backup + relocation strategy
