Can I Use Stripe Instead of Shopify Payments?

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.

Here is the solution, it allows you accept payment methods in your Stripe account.
