Support

A founder gets you started in days, not weeks.

Other platforms hand you a help center and a chatbot. We hand you a Slack channel with one of the founders, on call when something goes sideways.

  • Dedicated Slack channel with a Shor founder, not a support queue
  • Bugs and product requests go straight to the team building Shor
  • Based in SF or NY? A founder will come onboard you in person

  • Contractor, employee, and milestone templates, per country

Frequently asked

Questions founders ask us first.

The things you'd ask on a 30-minute intro call. Direct answers, no marketing fluff.

How is Shor different from Deel or Remote?

Three places where the difference is real:

Price. Standard EOR is $299/month per employee. Deel and Remote charge $599. We charge half. Region-based pricing means you pay the real cost of operating in each country, not a flat enterprise rate that subsidizes their European customers.

Support. A founder is in your Slack, not a ticket queue. When something breaks, you talk to the person who can actually fix it.

Transparency. Flat 2% FX margin disclosed on every receipt. No setup fees, no minimums, no annual lock-ins. Month-to-month with 30-day cancellation. No buried spread, no enterprise tactics.

Why is Shor cheaper than Deel or Remote?

Region-based pricing. You pay the real cost of operating in each country, not a flat enterprise rate that subsidizes their European customers.

No setup fees, no minimums, no annual lock-in. Month-to-month.

Full side-by-side at docs.shorpay.com/pricing.

What countries do you support?

Contractors: almost anywhere we can legally send money. The only exclusions are OFAC-sanctioned regions.

Full-time employees (EOR): 25+ live markets across Asia, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. New markets each quarter.

Live list at docs.shorpay.com/platform/global-coverage. If your corridor isn't on it, ask. We fast-track markets for committed customers.

Should I hire a contractor or a full-time employee?

Contractor: independent worker with their own tools and schedule. Simpler onboarding, lower cost, paid per invoice, milestone, or retainer. No statutory benefits.

EOR: full-time employee. Shor legally employs them in their country and handles statutory benefits, tax withholding, and country-specific severance.

Misclassification creates real tax and legal liability. Our onboarding asks a few questions and recommends the right call for each worker.

How fast can I get started?

Setup happens on a single founder call. You'll talk to Daivik directly. Most founders run their first payroll within their first week with us.

Contractors typically onboard same-day. Full-time EOR employees take 7–14 business days. That's the local statutory registration timeline, not us being slow.

What about compliance?

You don't have to think about it. Localized contracts that update as laws change, statutory benefits and withholdings per country, KYC/KYB on every account, and AML/sanctions screening on every payment.

US tax form collection (W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E) and year-end 1099 filing are included.

If something comes up, a founder picks up the phone.

Can I bring my own entity?

Yes. If you already have a local entity in a country, we'll run payroll on your entity at a reduced rate.

Talk to us. That one is a sales conversation, not a list price.

Is there a trial or commitment required?

Month-to-month, 30-day cancellation. No setup fees, no lock-ins. The only commitment is the contracts you sign with your team.

For EOR employees, termination follows local labor law. Statutory notice and severance vary by country.
