Can anyone share experience with payment gateways in Macau?

[SMB970]

Hey there! If there's anyone in this group who happens to be from Macau and has successfully opened an online business with a payment gateway provider, I'd love to hear from you. Could you please share some details about your experience, such as which payment gateway provider you used, any challenges you encountered along the way, and any advice you'd give to someone looking to do the same?

I'd really appreciate any insights you might have, and I'm sure others in the group would find it helpful as well. Thank you in advance!

Hi @SMB970,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I'm happy to provide some assistance with locating a payment provider for the shop, to ensure this gets resolved. 

Shopify has integrated with over 100 different third-party payment providers to allow you to continue accepting credit cards online. Due to this, I encourage you to check out this complete list of all available payment providers within Macao SAR.

For any questions that you may have regarding a specific payment provider, I encourage you to connect with them directly. They will be able to share more information with you and answer any other questions that you may have. For more information on this, you can check our Third-Party Payment Providers documentation as it touches on this further.  

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Hi, I did all that before asking here. But thank you anyway for the tips.
To be honest, for Macau, it is not as linear as it seems/should be,
therefore I would love to hear some success stories from anyone living
here, and wouldn't mind sharing some tips.
Thank you though, I appreciate it 🙂

I am from Macau too. May I ask for your kind advice did you successfully manage to receive orders and payments from overseas markets? And what is the final third party payment providers that you have picked? Is it I must register a company in Macau in order to receive payments? Is the payments directly to bank account/ credit card? Are there any further advice that you can provide 🙏🏻 I am really puzzled at the moment, thank you so much ❤️

Same here. Do I have to have a company in order to able to stablish a payment gateway?

I am living in Macau too and is also struggling on this. Tried so many methods, watching online tutorials, connecting with app, paypal, etc., but none works. Still figuring out whether it is a must to open a company in order to receive payments, if so, is Macau company good to with? Or whether we should open a HK company instead. 

Hoping someone succeeded can share their experience here. Lots of thanks!
