How can I add Stripe to my UK-based store with a Belgian bank?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

A UK-based Shopify store owner is unable to add Stripe as a payment provider, likely because their bank account is in Belgium (via Transferwise/Wise) rather than the UK.

The core issue:

  • Stripe availability conflicts with Shopify Payments regional restrictions
  • Business location (UK) doesn’t match bank account location (Belgium)

Current status:

  • The store owner is seeking workarounds to enable Stripe integration
  • One response suggests an external solution via a linked resource, but no detailed explanation is provided
  • The discussion remains open with no confirmed resolution or alternative approaches discussed

Hello,

I’m trying to add my Stripe account as a payment provider for my Shopify store, but that option is not available for me, and I need it.

I know that Stripe is not available in a region where Shopify Payments is also available, but the problem here is (I think) that my business is located in the UK, but my bank is in Belgium (using Transferwise).

Is there any way to overcome this?

Thank you in advance,

Ivana.
