Crazy that there’s still no solution to this. I have different business partners in different locations. It’s impossible to have all locations funneling into one bank account and make this work. I understand you can open multiple Shopify accounts, but what about my online store that’s linked to a specific location? Now I need multiple websites for each location? Have you found any better solutions?
Topic summary
Main issue: Merchants with multiple locations want sales from each location deposited into separate bank accounts to simplify bookkeeping and partner arrangements.
Current capability: With Shopify Payments (Shopify’s built‑in payment processor), only one bank account can be connected per store. To use multiple bank accounts simultaneously, merchants must run separate Shopify stores per location, each with its own Shopify Payments account.
Alternatives/workarounds:
- PayPal: Can link multiple bank accounts via the Wallet; funds first go to PayPal, then can be routed to chosen bank accounts manually.
- Third‑party gateways: Policies vary; merchants should contact the provider.
- Some merchants created multiple stores and use a geolocation/app to route visitors to the appropriate domain/location.
Concerns raised: Daily manual transfers cause delays, bank fees, and messy accounting. Running multiple stores complicates unified inventory and may require multiple websites.
Requests/updates: Merchants ask for an integration to allocate payouts by location or to pool and split deposits, and for a roadmap timeline. No official solution or ETA was provided. Status: Unresolved and ongoing.
