# Regional considerations

Learn about regional considerations for integrating Terminal in different countries.

​​For the most part, you’ll be able to use a single Terminal integration in all supported countries. However, due to local payment methods or regulations there are some country-specific requirements. After going through the [sample integration](https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/quickstart.md), use this guide to learn about country-specific requirements for Terminal.

> To process Terminal payments, both the Stripe account receiving the funds and the [location](https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/fleet/locations-and-zones.md) associated with the reader must be in the same country, accepting local currency only.

## Regional considerations by country

Select a country to view its specific regional considerations

# United States (US)


## Integrate Terminal in the United States

Stripe supports Visa, Mastercard, American Express,  and Discover payments in the United States. All transactions must be made in US dollars (USD). To accept Terminal charges in the United States, either your platform account or connected account must be in the United States.

### Use locations

Create [Locations](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations/create.md) for your business with addresses in US and [associate your readers to them](https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/fleet/locations-and-zones.md). This will ensure that they automatically download the configuration needed to properly process charges in US. A valid [address for a Location](https://docs.stripe.com/api/terminal/locations/create.md#create_terminal_location-address) in US must contain the  properties.

#### curl

```bash
curl https://api.stripe.com/v1/terminal/locations \
  -u <<YOUR_SECRET_KEY>>: \
  -d "display_name"="HQ" \
  -d "address[line1]"="1272 Valencia Street" \
  -d "address[city]"="San Francisco" \
  -d "address[state]"="CA" \
  -d "address[country]"="US" \
  -d "address[postal_code]"="94110" \
