Hey @igniteprimer,

I appreciate you sharing your question. I understand it's imperative for merchants to have access to a robust payment gateway system in Pakistan, enabling you and your business to thrive. Could you share what third-party payment providers you've explored or if you're having difficulties?

If you haven't already, you can check out the up-to-date list of payment gateways available for use in Pakistan with your Shopify store here.

Outside of this, you can look into accepting manual payments from your customers or enabling any additional payments for your store.

Can you also tell me a little about what it is you're selling and where you wish to sell to?

Hi Maria!
Facing the same issue. My niche is Home Imporvement and selling in US, mainly. 

Secondly, is there a link between your home location and selling location? I saw a swift decline in organic sessions by changing my Store default location from HOME (PK) Country TO Selling Country (US).
Later on changing back to Home. organic traffic/session started pumping in.

Hey @Addonese81,

Yes, the location settings in your store can have an impact on your organic traffic. This is primarily due to the way search engines like Google rank and display search results. They tend to favor local businesses in their search results, which is why you might have seen a decline in organic traffic when you changed your store's default location from Pakistan to the United States.

• Local SEO: Search engines prioritize local businesses in their search results. When you set your store's default location to your home country (Pakistan), Google likely recognized your store as a local business and ranked it higher in search results in Pakistan. When you changed the location to the US, Google may have started ranking your store lower in search results in Pakistan, leading to a decline in organic traffic.

However, it's important to note that organic traffic can be influenced by a variety of factors, and location is just one of them. Other factors include your SEO efforts, the quality and relevance of your content, the competitiveness of your keywords, and more. Therefore, it's important to take a holistic approach to SEO and not focus solely on one aspect like location.

If your target market is in the US, it might be worth exploring other ways to improve your SEO for that market, such as using US-focused keywords, creating content that is relevant to US customers, and building backlinks from US-based websites.
