Can I accept payments from the 22 countries supported by shopifypayments even if I am not located in one of those 22 countries (I have arranged shopifypayments with the bank located in one of the 22 countries)

Hi @User777 

 

If you have enabled Shopify Payments on your store then customers from any of the supported countries will be able to checkout, regardless of where your business is officially located. 

 

@StephensWorld - To clarify the information you shared, yes a merchant may be able to set up a business from outside their home country and use Shopify Payments, but that business still needs to have a legal registration in the country they have chosen and they will need to provide additional documents as proof of business as well. Not all merchant accounts looking to use Shopify Payments in this kind of situation will be approved though.

I believe you can. 

 

For example, if you're in a country that isn't supported by Shopify Payments, but your goal is to sell to Canadians, then as long as you have an address (ex. PO Box) in Canada, as well as a bank account with a Canadian bank, then you'd be able to create a Shopify store, and set it up using your PO Box address and then receive payouts to your Canadian bank account.

You can add a "Currency Converter" app to your store, to show the prices to customers in their local currency (but it will still show your store's base currency at the checkout page).
