Payment gateway for Serbia

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A Shopify merchant in Serbia is struggling to find suitable payment gateway options beyond PayPal. They’ve been rejected by 2checkout despite providing business documentation, and found Skrill limiting since customers need accounts to pay.

Suggested alternatives include:

  • Payoneer Checkout for credit/debit cards
  • Mollie (European processor with multiple payment methods)
  • Crypto payment solutions (Coinbase Commerce, BitPay)

The merchant reports trying Mollie and Payoneer already, with Payoneer apparently requiring a Hong Kong entity registration. The discussion remains open with no clear resolution, as the original poster seeks clarification on Payoneer’s requirements and continues searching for viable payment processing options that work with Serbian businesses and don’t require customers to create separate accounts.

Hello everyone, I have got a payment gateway problem. I am living in Serbia, so it is hard to find a solution for payment. I only got PayPal option, but I think it’s not enough, tried 2checkout, they rejected me, even if I gave them all the information about my registered business. Tried Skrill also, but I think it’s the same thing as PayPal, because people need to have a Skrill account to pay. What should I do?

Hi @Vlada21

Since Shopify Payments is not available, you’ll need to look at third-party providers that work in your region. Here are some alternatives:

  1. Payoneer Checkout – Supports credit/debit card payments and is available for Serbian businesses.
  2. Mollie – A solid European payment processor that supports multiple payment methods, including cards and local options.
  3. Crypto Payments – If your audience is open to it, solutions like Coinbase Commerce or BitPay might help.

Since 2Checkout rejected you, it might be worth reaching out to their support to understand why. Also, ensure your website meets their requirements (clear refund policy, secure checkout, etc.).

Hope this helps, and good luck!

I tried mollie, payoneer also. Payoneer requires an entity in Hong Kong… Is that true?
