A merchant asks if Shopify Payments will expand to Lithuania, citing profit losses from combined Stripe fees and Shopify’s third‑party payment gateway fees. They note no new countries seem to have been added to Shopify Payments for roughly a year.
Shopify support cannot confirm or share any plans or timelines for expanding Shopify Payments, including to Lithuania. They state the feedback has been forwarded internally to the relevant development team.
Guidance provided: monitor the Shopify Changelog and use the “Payments” filter to track payment‑related releases and any future country expansions.
Key context: Shopify Payments is Shopify’s in‑house payment processor; using third‑party processors like Stripe incurs both the processor’s fees and Shopify’s additional third‑party payment fees, which can impact margins.
Status: No commitments or dates were given; the question remains open pending future announcements via the Changelog.
Hi,
I am currently using Stripe and their fees combined with Shopify 3rd party payments processing fees are really eating into my profits.
I’ve noticed that Shopify didn’t add new countries for Shopify payments for almost a year. Can I have at least a bit of hope for Shopify payments coming to my country(Lithuania)? As I can’t find any information about planned expansion countries anywhere 
Hi, @Slepua .
Thanks for reaching out about your concerns.
I appreciate your interest in Shopify Payments’ expansion, though at this stage I’m unable to confirm or share any details about the future of Shopify Payments. In saying this, I’ve shared your feedback internally with the relevant development team so that they’re aware of your request and the growing interest of Shopify Payments in Lithuania.
I recommend bookmarking our Changelog here so that you can keep up to date with the latest releases to our platform, where you can use the ‘Payments’ filter on the right hand-side of the page to filter out our payment-related only releases.
