Hi Shopify Community,
I’m reaching out because I really need some guidance and encouragement. For the past three weeks, I’ve been trying to set up a payment gateway for my Shopify store. The challenge? Shopify Payments isn’t available in my country, so I’ve been relying on third-party gateways that are officially supported here.
I’ve contacted 13 payment gateways so far, but I haven’t received a single response. It’s incredibly discouraging because I’ve put so much effort into building my store, and this one issue is holding me back from launching.
I’d appreciate your help on a few things:
- For those in unsupported countries, how did you successfully integrate a payment gateway?
- When contacting gateways, what’s the best way to approach them? Are there specific words, phrases, or details I should include to increase the chances of a response?
- If you’ve dealt with unresponsive providers, what strategies helped you finally connect with them?
- Are there alternative solutions or tools you’d recommend to handle unsupported payment gateways?
I’ve poured my heart into this business, and it’s tough to feel like I’m stuck because of something beyond my control. If anyone has faced a similar situation or has tips to share, I’d be so grateful. Your advice or even a little encouragement could make a big difference for me right now.
This community has been a lifesaver for so many people, and I truly believe it can help me find a way forward too. Thank you for reading this and for being such an amazing source of support.
