Hi everyone.

We are a US-based company developing solutions for the Malls. We are in a process of choosing an e-commerce platform. Shopify is absolute of our interest in terms of features available. The question is how different territories are supported. Especially, as our first launch is going to happen in UAE. As far as I see UAE is on a list of supported countries, and there are payment gateways available. We have just registered on checkouts.com, but I’ve found there are complaints they are rejecting sometimes.

Another question is if POS solution is also available as a native part of Shopify, and how exactly can we get terminals to start processing payments offline, as our solution is and online/offline product.
