Hi there, @ProCave !

Welcome to the Community! Definitely a great place to gather some input regarding anything about the platform! We have a great group of contributors who are always willing to provide their own expertise and experience with regards to Shopify!

With regards to alternative payment methods that you can use in the UAE, please refer to the list here as it goes over all possible gateways that you can utilize. I have also included a screenshot that highlights, Stripe, which is our preferred partner.

I have also gone into Stripe’s website that informs us of their acceptance of most of the major credit cards including Visa and Mastercard as well as a good amount of other choices for your customers.

Definitely give these information a look over and let me know how these work out for you.
