Shopify store in USA from Pakistan and Payment Gateways

[MHZ]

How can I run my Shopify store from Pakistan in the United States of America and how to set up a Payment Gateway for Pakistan while my store location is in the USA? Can I choose a third-party payment gateway available in Pakistan and the USA and set up it for receiving my payments in my Pakistan bank account?

Note: I want to sell products in the USA so the main issue is location I want to set the store location to the USA for better SEO.

Hi @MHZ,

Thanks for reaching out to the Community! I'd be happy to provide some assistance with this request to ensure it gets resolved.

As you're currently located in Pakistan, you will want to select a payment gateway from our list of available third-party providers. This will allow you to continue accepting credit cards online so you customers can complete their purchases. To learn more, you can check out this guide. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

My question was not specific to the payment gateway only as I mentioned in my question I want to set my store location to the USA while I am in Pakistan now I want to set up my Payment Gateway right. Can I choose a payment gateway that is available in Pakistan as well as in the USA and then set it up for my Pakistan bank account as I want to keep the USA as my store location?

Thanks for the prompt response @MHZ. 

To clarify, do you have physical operations (i.e a physical office) within the United States? If not, you will be required to select a third-party payment provider from the country that you're currently located in. Once you've selected a payment gateway, you can connect with them directly to determine if your bank account can be used to deposit those funds. To share some insight, third-party payment providers are external to Shopify and would not be deposited into your Shopify admin. To learn more, you can check out this Guide.
