Assistance Required: Payment Gateway Options for Sri Lanka

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment
, , ,

Topic summary

A Sri Lankan merchant seeks payment gateway options beyond PayPal for their Shopify store, as native payment providers are limited in the region.

Available Third-Party Solutions:

  • International gateways: 2Checkout (Verifone), Payoneer Checkout, Skrill, and dLocal support global card payments
  • Local Sri Lankan options: PayHere and WEBXPAY handle LKR transactions and support multiple payment methods including cards, bank transfers, and mobile payments

Implementation:
Third-party gateways can be added through Shopify Admin → Settings → Payments → Third-party providers. Local options like PayHere and WEBXPAY require manual API integration or setup through Shopify’s “Alternative Payment Methods.”

The choice depends on target audience—local gateways for domestic customers, international providers for global reach.

Dear Shopify Support,

I am from Sri Lanka and would like to set up my Shopify store. However, when I go to the Payment Providers section, I do not see any available payment gateways for Sri Lanka, except for PayPal. I would like to integrate additional payment options for my customers.

Could you please advise me on the available solutions or alternative payment gateways that I can use in Sri Lanka? Any guidance on third-party integrations would also be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to your support.

Best regards,
Hannan

Hi @Hannan076

Actutally, Shopify doesn’t currently support many native payment gateways in Sri Lanka, but there are solid third-party options you can integrate.

  • Consider PayHere or WEBXPAY, which support LKR transactions and multiple payment methods (cards, bank transfers, mobile payments). These require manual integration via their APIs or Shopify’s “Alternative Payment Methods” option.
  • If you’re targeting international customers, 2Checkout (now Verifone), Skrill, or Payoneer Checkout can help process card payments globally.
