How can I enable international payments on my Albania-based online store?

[skerdibelishta]

Hello! I'm trying to connect  my Shopify store with any payment method, but it does not allow me because we are in Albania and I think that you can only use it for clients in Albania. Can you help me to find a way so I can operate Internationally and have clients from all the world that can also make the payment? I do not want to operate my Shopify store only here in Albania, does it have a solution to work Internationally with a successful payment method ?

Hi, @skerdibelishta!

Thanks for getting in touch. You can find the available payment gateways for Albania on this page. Most, if not all, of those gateways will allow you to accept payments from customers in Albania and the rest of the world. 

If you're having trouble with a specific payment gateway, I recommend contacting them directly for assistance. 

By the way, if you'd like for me to review your store, feel free to share the link to it here! We're always available to provide feedback, and it's helpful to have a new set of eyes on your store. 

Please let me know if there's anything else I can help you with!

Hi, @lucianoV!

Thanks for reaching out. I wasn't able to find a payments company called Skerdi or Scerdi. Can you clarify what information you're looking for?

If you'd like to see the payment gateways available in Albania, head over to this page and enter your country in the Payment information by country or region section, as shown here:

Actually, almost all the payment providers on that page either are not available in Albania (they send you an email telling you that or you cannot select Albania as a country while you are signing up for their service), or they do not respond to you after you fill in and submit your sign up/ contact form on their websites. The only payment gateway on that list that was available in Albania and that responded and agreed to support me with payment processing for my website was Paysera.

Hey, @ProfitPilgrim!

Thanks for sharing your feedback. We try our best to keep our payment gateway page up to date, however there can sometimes be inaccuracies since payment partners can change the regional availability of their gateway at any time. The Payment Settings page of the admin will always be the best source as to what is available for merchants in any region. Available gateways will appear at the top of the list of third-party payment providers, with unavailable gateways below. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Hi there, 

I tried searching for Paysera in the list of third party providers but it is not there. 

Also has it worked well for you since started?
