How can I set up payment methods for new businesses in Pakistan?

[Hunny]

Hi Community!

I tried really hard after opting the plan of shopify but unfortunately I didn't know that none of the Payment methods support new businesses in Pakistan.

Paypal and Shopify payments are not available in Pakistan, also the listed methods simply reject the new business requests, they only allow with at least 6 months sale proof. I have been rejected by 2checkout and others due to this.

Now is there anyone who can help me out to complete my store with payment methods available in Pakistan?

Its strange that shopify is not supporting business from Pakistan with an easy gateway that supports beginners. Otherwise Im hopeless now to continue with Shopify.

Thanks,

[Luna]

Hi, @Hunny! 

Welcome to the Community forum. This is Luna, from Shopify! Thanks for bringing your question here. I completely understand the importance of finding a suitable payment provider for your shop.

As you mentioned, Shopify doesn’t currently offer Shopify Payments in Pakistan. However, we definitely have some other supported gateways for you! Outside of 2Checkout, we have a list of payment providers available in Pakistan, such as: 

• BitPay 
• Splitit
• Paymentwall
• Skrill
• Paysera

To view the entire selection, check out this page here: Shopify Payment Gateways in Pakistan.  

In the meantime, I will definitely share your feedback. At Shopify, we pride ourselves on the continued growth and development of our platform, and we are only able to do so with feedback from merchants like you. You can keep an eye out for any updates to our platform on the Shopify Changelog.

From what you’ve shared, it sounds like you are in the process of setting up your website - congrats! What type of products will you be selling?

Looking forward to hearing from you,
