Is Shopify planning to integrate payments in Poland soon?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Polish Shopify merchants have been requesting Shopify Payments integration since 2021, expressing frustration over the inability to offer multi-currency checkout to international customers. This limitation creates competitive disadvantages compared to merchants in supported countries, as customers seeing foreign currencies (PLN) reportedly reduces trust and sales.

Key concerns raised:

  • Higher transaction fees (nearly 2x) when using third-party payment gateways
  • Inability to display prices in local currencies (EUR, GBP, USD) at checkout
  • Unfair treatment compared to other Eastern European countries (Czech Republic, Romania) that received support

Workarounds discussed:

  • Third-party solutions like Easy Pie Checkout with Stripe for multi-currency support
  • Direct bank transfers for B2B customers
  • Stripe integration with manual currency handling
  • Some limitations noted with courier integrations (e.g., InPost pickup points)

Recent development (latest posts):
Shopify Payments appears to have launched in Poland as of early 2025. Documentation now lists Poland as supported, though rollout is gradual—currently available to only 5% of users for early access testing, with wider availability expected in coming days. Some merchants report activation issues despite meeting requirements (Polish billing address, two-factor authentication enabled).

Hey @manticore776 .

Thanks for reaching out.

I will provide the feedback that has been shared on this thread to our developers. I can certainly understand the need to use Shopify Payments in your location while using the platform. We appreciate you taking the time to bring this to our attention.

With that being said, you can still use a third-party payment gateway to connect to your Shopify store and allow your customers to complete the checkout process. We have an article that displays the available payment gateways depending on your location here.

Let us know what you think and if you have any questions.
