Hi everyone, I have a serious issue , I’m from Iraq and here we don’t have shopify payments method and other methods does not work here so basically I cant start my business , my question is : can I use my friends bank info in Turkey and start my business even though I live and work from Iraq so I be able to transfer the money to my bank account here in Iraq ? Is that acceptable?
