# Available countries

> Understand where you can sell from and where your customers can buy from on Pocketsflow.

Pocketsflow is built for a global creator community. Because payments are
processed by our payment infrastructure and settled to a connected payout account, availability
follows the banking, card-network, and compliance rules of the underlying
providers — which is why "supported countries" has **two** separate answers.

## Two dimensions of availability

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Where creators can be located" icon="store">
    The countries from which you can open a Pocketsflow account, complete
    business verification, and receive payouts.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Where buyers can be located" icon="globe">
    The countries from which customers can successfully pay you at checkout.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

These sets overlap but aren't identical: buyer coverage is typically much
broader than creator coverage.

## Creator countries

Your country as a creator affects:

* Whether you can **onboard and verify** as a Pocketsflow seller (our payment
  infrastructure runs identity/business verification — KYC/KYB — before live payouts are released;
  see [Account & security](/operations/account-and-security)).
* Which **payout options and currencies** are available to you.
* Whether you can enroll in the [Affiliates](/operations/affiliates) and
  [Partner program](/operations/partner-program) payout rails, which pay to a
  connected payout account.

To check whether Pocketsflow supports creators in your country, use the
canonical list on the marketing site:

* **Countries:** `https://www.pocketsflow.com/countries`

If your country isn't listed yet, you can usually join a waitlist or follow the
[blog](https://www.pocketsflow.com/blog) for expansion announcements.

## Buyer countries

Buyer availability is broader than creator availability. In practice:

* A creator in a supported country can sell to buyers in **many more**
  countries.
* The exact set depends on the **payment methods and currencies** in play — a
  card that our payment infrastructure supports in a region will generally work even if that region
  isn't a creator country.
* The buyer's **billing country** is captured at checkout and stored on the
  order (it also drives any tax line — see [Taxes &
  invoices](/payments/taxes-and-invoices)).

<Note>
  Some payment methods are region-specific. Cards have the widest
  reach; PayPal and Coinflow (crypto/card) may be available in different sets of
  countries. See [Payment methods](/payments/payment-methods).
</Note>

## Currencies

Prices are set in your product's currency and buyers are charged in it. Our
payment infrastructure records the transaction currency on every order, and payouts settle per
currency. If you sell into multiple regions, expect to see more than one
currency across your orders and payouts. Affiliate and partner commissions are
also grouped and paid **per currency**.

## Testing a specific region before you launch

If you're targeting a particular market:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Confirm creator + buyer support">
    Review `https://www.pocketsflow.com/countries` for both your country and
    your buyers' countries.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Test checkout from that region">
    Run a checkout (in test mode, or a small live purchase) from the target
    country/device to confirm the expected methods appear and the order
    completes. See [Payment methods → Test mode vs live
    mode](/payments/payment-methods).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the tax line">
    Confirm whether the provider adds VAT/sales tax for that region, since it
    affects the buyer's total.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Staying up to date

Country and currency coverage expands over time. Before a major launch:

* Re-check `https://www.pocketsflow.com/countries`.
* Watch the [blog](https://www.pocketsflow.com/blog) for announcements.
