Hi guys,

I’m from North Macedonia and I’ve been feeling very limited with choices here.

The only available payment provider I can choose is 2Checkout but I need to open a company for that.

I’m looking for a way to accept Debit/Credit card payments in a store I plan on opening soon.

If you guys have any integrations or stuff I can do as a solution I will seriously appreciate it.

Thanks,
Marshall

Thank you so much for your answer Arunme!

I have one question:

For example, if I choose Skrill as a payment provider, will my customers need a Skrill account to pay or will they have the option to just enter their credit card number?
