# Country Availability

Whether Payrexx’s payment providers are available to you depends on the country in which your business is registered.

## External Payment Providers

Even if your business is registered in a country not listed above, you can still receive payments. In this case, however, you will need to integrate an [external (third-party) payment provider](https://docs.payrexx.com/merchant/english/payment-provider/external-payment-provider) in Payrexx:

You enter into the contract directly with the third-party provider and then integrate it into Payrexx. Payouts to your bank account are also processed directly by the respective payment provider.

### Integrating external payment providers

To integrate an external payment provider in Payrexx, navigate to **Payment Providers** in the merchant administration of your Payrexx account. There you will find a list of all third-party providers that can be integrated into Payrexx. The payment providers are grouped into the following categories:

* Credit Cards and Debit Cards
* Alternative Payment Methods
* Manual Payment Methods

Click "Show" to display the available payment providers:
