In the U.S., receiving money is different than sending money, and receiving money as a business (which is what's being discussed here) is different than receiving money for personal reasons.
The ideal in the U.S. is you set up an LLC (around $100/year), get an EIN from the IRS (free), sign up for Stripe etc. as your payment processor (also free, but they take a percent of profits), and put up a site to do the buying through. But you can do it for free if you go into business as a sole proprietorship, which has the advantage of requiring either no or next to no paperwork depending on state, but comes with increased liability if you get sued, which probably doesn't matter here. Rory would probably count as a sole proprietorship, assuming he's in the U.S., based on our discussion here, though most of it will require his parents to put their name on things.
Most countries are similar to the U.S. in this regard, it's not super hard to get one going. Countries want you to go into business, but for software the hard part is programming the billing backend. You can find some off the shelf depending on what you're doing, but there's really no one size fits all solution.
