Hello, I just created my store and I live in Turkey there are no payment methods that I can use I have tried them all, I have tried izyico but they ask for tax documents that I cannot provide because I am just a student living here. I tried other platforms as well but it is very complicated to get to make a merchant account and connect to the store.
