Hi @AminaTahir ,
There’s still no update on this feature request. Please keep an eye on the Shopify Changelog here as any updates such as this will appear there.
Topic summary
Goal: show different payment methods by customer location (e.g., local gateway/COD for domestic customers, PayPal or other gateways for international customers).
Current platform limits:
- One primary payment gateway per store plus PayPal; gateways can’t be conditionally shown by country in native Shopify checkout.
- To use different bank/PayPal accounts per country, separate (duplicate) stores are required.
- Geolocation app affects language/currency only, not payment gateways. COD is global (all or none). Shopify Payments (SP) availability varies by country.
Merchant use cases driving the request:
- Separate legal entities/bank accounts and tax/GST reporting per region.
- Offer COD only locally (e.g., Morocco, Philippines) and hide it for others.
- Country‑specific methods (e.g., invoice/pay-later in Switzerland for approved customers).
- Currency mismatch at checkout in some markets (e.g., MAD vs browsing currency).
Workarounds discussed:
- Lock/membership apps to restrict access, and pay‑later apps (don’t truly control gateways).
- App-based approaches recently suggested: PayRules: Hide Payment Methods (rules by country) and UNUM Pay; a developer link to Checkout Payments extensions. A screenshot was shared showing rule setup.
Status/outcome:
- No native solution; feature requests logged; no update announced. Suggested paths: duplicate stores for separate settlement needs, or try third‑party apps. Monitor Shopify Changelog for changes.
