However, I want to open a Stripe account based on what payment methods it will offer me.
well it's more based on where your business/legal entity is.

#

after all you can only create a Stripe account if you have a legal entity in the country you intend to have that account for since you need that to activate the account and go live.

#

right now only Stripe accounts in BR can accept Boleto for example so you'd need a business in BR and then create a Stripe account there as well for that business.

#

Is there any local payment method that can be accepted without having a legal entity in that locality?

#

E.g. paying with a local debit card is very convenient for a lot of people

yep! most European payment methods can be accepted by Stripe accounts in any country for instance.

#

and really any stripe account in any country can accept payments with debit cards, that's not really related at all.

boleto is a bad example because it's sort of a beta and support is very new and it's extremely local so initially the focus is on making it available for local businesses first

I know, but for example, I live in Brazil, so I have a "Brazilian" VISA debit card that is not accepted in most websites that accept debit cards.

#

But there are some MasterCard "international" cards that are accepted.. but in Brazil a lot of people are given those local cards by default.

#

Oh, great! That "Country availability" is what I was looking for.. somehow it passed me by
