Why isn't Stripe active on my checkout page?

I added Stripe on Shopify but it is not active. When I go to the check out I don't even see how to pay. Does anyone know how to help me?

Hi there, @asmaahashad.

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

If Shopify Payments is not supported within your country/region, then you should be able to set up Stripe as a payment gateway in your Settings > Payments section of the Shopify admin. If you're eligible to use Shopify Payments, however, Stripe gateway will not be shown as an option. Stripe payment gateway will only show as available in countries where Shopify Payments is not supported. You can check our Online Payment Gateway resource to check if Stripe is available in your country/region. 

If you'd like our team to take a look to see if your business is eligible for Stripe, I recommend reaching out via the Shopify Help Center to create a support request. 

I'd love to hear about your business venture and how you got started. If you're currently in the store-building process, feel free to check out our New to Shopify Checklist to help you get started.

I hope this helps!
