Hi I am from UAE and My Business is not registered yet as I just started and I am planning to get it registered once I started getting sales. My store is operating in UAE, USA, UK, CANADA & Australia. So after setting up my online shop and when I was setting up the payments I found out that my store has to be registered business for accepting payments through Payment providers such as Stripe. Kindly guide me if there is any payment method I can add in my store without registering my business. Due to this problem my whole activity is halted please Help me. Thanks
Hi @Hifza123 ,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I’m happy to provide some assistance with locating a payment provider for the shop, to ensure this gets resolved.
To share some insight, Shopify has integrated with over 100 different third-party payment providers to allow you to continue accepting credit cards online. Due to this, I encourage you to check out this complete list of all available payment providers within the United Arab Emirates.
For any questions that you may have regarding a specific payment provider, I encourage you to connect with them directly. They will be able to share more information with you and advise whether a registered company is required.
For more information on this, you can check our Third-Party Payment Providers documentation as it touches on this further.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
Stripe is available in UAE, but native Shopify Checkout does not support multi-currency, so you need to have a third party Shopify Stripe Checkout solution to accept multi-currency payments with your Stripe account for your Shopify.
