Thank you @Moira for your insightful response!
Topic summary
Store setup aims to sell in US/EU while the owner is based in Pakistan.
- Billing: use your real Pakistan address for billing information.
- Locations (Shopify): list any physical or app-based fulfillment/stock points; set the default to your dropshipper’s fulfillment center. For Printful/Dropship.io, sync the fulfillment addresses they provide.
- Markets: configure US and EU for selling, pricing, and localization; verify shipping settings with the dropshipper to ensure correct label charges.
Payments for Pakistan:
- 2Checkout (Verifone) supports Pakistani merchants and global customer payments.
- PayPal is widely accepted but limited in Pakistan (primarily send, not receive).
- Payoneer can receive international payments; one participant warns it may require Hong Kong incorporation.
- Local options (JazzCash, Easypaisa) may work via third‑party/custom integrations, better for local than international buyers.
Recent issue: merchants report difficulty opening payment gateways when company registration differs from owner’s residence or without a local address in target markets.
Status: configuration steps are clarified; selecting a payment gateway remains open and may depend on incorporation and gateway eligibility.
