Payments Setup on Shopify is Driving me Crazy!!!

[Arhamna]

It's been 9 days since I started my very first shopify store and I can't even run it successfully. Turns out, payments are the only, ONLY issue that I'm facing. I'm so stressed because of the payment problems in Pakistan. Why can't we have Shopify Payments enabled? I don't understand. And third party providers are driving me crazy!

Hi, @Arhamna.

Welcome to the Shopify community and thanks for sharing your question.

Congratulations on creating your first Shopify store. I understand you're experiencing an issue with setting up your payments and are inquiring about Shopify Payments. Rest assured, I'll do my best to provide you with the next best steps to have your payments and store set up.

At this time, Shopify Payments is not available in Pakistan. Shopify Payments is available for these supported countries and regions. If you are selling from Pakistan, we have a list of third-party payment gateways Shopify has partnered with that you can look into using. For better visibility, check out our Pakistan Payment Gateway resource that shares the available payment providers.

Some payment providers to look into are:

• 2Checkout
• BitPay
• FasterPay
• Paymentwall

What kind of online store have you started and what are you currently working on? I'd like to share some helpful resources to assist you with building your store. We understand the time it takes to set up each area of your store, so we've created a New to Shopify checklist to speed up the process and an Intro to Shopify resource.

Feel free to thread any additional questions you may have here!
