Unfortunately, that solution isn’t working for us either.
Topic summary
Issue: Users setting up payment for Shopify Ads receive the error “Credit cards based in India are not permitted.” A screenshot of the error is provided and is central to the thread.
Recent update: Changing the account location to outside India—an earlier workaround referenced from a prior thread—no longer works for multiple users.
Tried/Proposed solutions:
- Virtual card service: One user from India reports success using a virtual card (digital payment card) via NachoNacho.
- Third-party service suggestion: Another user links to epsifund’s Shopify Ads services. No confirmations of success from others yet.
Outcome/decisions: No official fix or confirmation from Shopify is mentioned. No consensus on a reliable, broadly working solution.
Status: Ongoing/unresolved. Key open question: Are there any officially supported payment methods for advertisers in India, or approved workarounds for Shopify Ads billing?
