Hi! I would kindly like to request Shopify Payments be made available for shops based in Estonia.
I need to have access to Shopify Payments for two reasons. I want to sell in multiple currencies (this is extremely important for selling in the UK and the US), and I want to sell on the Shop app.
Estonia is a small country, but many shops here want to tap into the larger non-EU markets and need access to Shopify Payments simply because they want to sell in local currencies.
I would be very thankful if you could make Shopify Payments available in Estonia as soon as possible! I am happy to provide any additional information on my shop/circumstances or even help you speed up the bureaucratic processes involved in enabling Shopify Payments in Estonia.
Thanks for reaching out in our Community forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.
I definitely understand your frustration here as Shopify Payments is helpful for many aspects on the payment gateway side of the business. As you know, this is unavailable in your country at the moment. You can check out our list of supported countries herefor reference. I will share your feedback to our development team for future considerations as a feature request. Please keep an eye on the Shopify Changelog as any update will be shared here.
If you would like to share more context and information, feel free to do so and I would be happy to include it in the feedback form.
Thanks again for your understanding and talk soon!
While I am unable to provide any specific updates regarding this matter, I will definitely pass along your feedback to the appropriate team for their consideration. I can assure you that the more requests and interest we receive, the stronger the case for sharing this demand with our developers.
I would also like to start using shopify payments on my Estonian shopify store. Is there any way we could upvote this feature so it becomes it gets a higher priority?
I understand the importance of having Shopify Payments available in your area, and I can see how it would be beneficial for you and other businesses.

We have 3 shops registered that would hugely benefit from Shopify Payments!
Actually, being in e-com business for over 4 years and having over 20 close fellow businessmen (also using Shopify in Estonia), I can say that the demand is huge in this market.
It’s been an issue for years now. I respectfully suggest it’s time you hear your customers and expand to this market.
Thank you for joining this thread and sharing your feedback.
I would like to confirm that I have added both of your availability requests to the existing ticket. While I won’t be able to share any updates or provide a timeline, kindly keep an eye on the Shopify Changelog as any updates will be shared there.
While I would not be able to provide a timeline on this, I can assure you that Shopify is always looking for ways to increase the availability of our features. With that being said, I have forwarded your feedback and feature request to the relevant team for their consideration.
you should know and see that many European entrepreneurs are setting up in Estonia because the country is at the cutting edge of online business approaches.
You sleep on it and act surprised that we’re still with Stripe when you could be setting up in a country that takes online business to heart.
I would also like to request Shopify Payments to be available in Estonia. A lot of people would be very happy about this. We have stores making good money and Shopify Payments would really allow to take it even further.
thank you!
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
I understand having Shopify Payments available in Estonia can be beneficial for your business. At Shopify, we continuously strive to improve the merchant experience. I will share this as a feature request with our developers. While I won’t be able to provide updates on the progress of this feature, you can stay informed by checking the Shopify Changelog and keeping an eye on the Payments section in your Shopify Admin.
You also mentioned that you are having some success with your store - that’s great to hear! Are there any specific features that you are looking for via Shopify Payments. Doing so will allow me to explore a few workarounds to ensure that you are taking advantage with the features at hand to further grow your business.
Thank you again for your input, and please let me know if there’s anything else I can assist you with.
I am also from Estonia and requesting Shopify payments, even our neighboring country Finland has it. Because we don’t have it, we pay significantly more fees, while in Baltics the main payment processing method, bank initiation service, is free for WordPress. Shopify does not allow it!
We are a physical store using shopify pos also selling online. here is our webstore Hypebeastbaltics.com. We would like to continue using shopify, but it is getting very expensive and it is a reason why alot of people in Estonia-Baltics choose to not use Shopify!
Thanks for outlining your situation and for sharing your feedback.
I understand the concerns regarding higher fees and limited payment processing methods, as they can inconvenience merchants. I want to confirm that I added your request to the existing ticket. Keep an eye on the Shopify Changelog for any updates, as they will be shared there.
Thank you for acknowledging the outlined key features. I understand the direct benefits of having Shopify Payments enabled for your business. Rest assured, I have added these feature requests to the existing ticket for further consideration.
