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).

Hi,

I totally agree with all written above. When launching my shop at Shopify I was sure that it is a big experienced platform which would be able to support all the required basic tools for international trade. But how much I was dissappointed when got to know that one of the biggest European countries isn’t supported for such a basic ecommerce functionality as multi-currency checkout. My products are oriented globally lack of possibility to provide my customers with checkout in their local currency completely eliminates all the other advantages of Shopify platform.
The worst is that I am seeing requests to add the support for Poland at least since 2022 and we are now in the beginning of the 2024…
