Payment gateway Pakistan

Topic summary

Pakistani merchants express frustration over the lack of reliable payment gateway options for international transactions on Shopify. While they pay the same fees as merchants in other countries, Shopify Payments remains unavailable in Pakistan, and many third-party providers reject Pakistani applications.

Key challenges identified:

  • Paymob declines customer orders despite proper currency integration
  • PayPal shows account limitation errors
  • Stripe requires company registration (problematic for dropshippers)
  • Skrill is no longer available for Pakistan on Shopify

Suggested solutions from community members:

  • UnumPay: A Shopify-approved app enabling Pakistani banks (Alfalah, JazzCash, Easypaisa, UBL, HBL, Meezan)
  • Payoneer and 2Checkout: Support Pakistani merchants for international payments
  • XPay Global: Local Pakistani payment provider with potential Shopify integration
  • Manual payment methods: Bank transfers and cash on delivery

A Shopify representative acknowledged the feedback and confirmed it has been shared with the development team. The issue stems primarily from regulatory and banking restrictions rather than platform limitations. The discussion remains open as merchants seek workable solutions for accepting international payments.
