It is fairly easy to setup a US LLC, see e.g. https://www.delawareinc.com/ https://www.delawareinc.com/ (they’ll handle all the paperwork for around $450). This will give you an Employee Tax Identification Number (EIN) which can often be used instead of SSN. Note though that setting up a US bank account (as a non-resident alien) is more problematic (and you pretty much need that to receive the money). Your safest bet is to visit the US, see http://www.valisinternational.com/us-company-bank-accounts http://www.valisinternational.com/us-company-bank-accounts for options. So I would recommend going with PayPal rather than process the credit cards yourself (though I didn’t check if they offer accounts to people in the Philippines).
