Can I Use Stripe Instead of Shopify Payments?

[Ivana48]

My shop is based in the US so I have the option to use Shopify Payments. However, since I’m not a US resident I don’t think I’ll be able to use Shopify Payments at all (even though I have an LLC and everything). Then, can I use Stripe? If I can, why is it not showing when I go to “Additional Payment Methods”? Will deactivating Shopify payments open up Stripe for me?

Thank you very much! This is what I’ve been looking for.
