I am in Ethiopia it’s there any way to setup payment i can’t find help 
AI-generated summary
A store owner in Ethiopia cannot find a way to set up payments in Shopify. Respondents explain that Shopify Payments is not available in Ethiopia, so it will not appear in the admin payment settings.
Recommended next steps:
- Go to Shopify admin → Settings → Payments → Add payment method to see third-party gateways supported for the store’s country.
- Use Shopify’s country-filtered gateway list to check providers that support Ethiopian businesses.
- Enable manual payment methods such as bank transfer, cash on delivery, or a custom option for local services like telebirr or CBE Birr.
For manual payments, customers place orders and pay outside Shopify, then the merchant marks the order as paid after receiving funds. The discussion remains practical and unresolved, with the main action being to test available third-party gateways or use manual payments immediately.
Shopify Payments isn’t available in Ethiopia, so you won’t see it in your settings, but you still have two routes. In Settings > Payments, click Add payment method and search there. It only shows the third-party providers that work for your store’s country, so that’s the quickest way to see your real options. Separately, under Manual payment methods you can turn on bank transfer and cash on delivery, or create a custom method for telebirr or CBE Birr with your account details in the instructions. The customer places the order, pays you directly, and you mark it as paid once the money arrives.
Hey!
Go to your shopify admin settings → Payments to see which providers are available for your country. The best payment option depends on where your business is registered and where your customers are located.
If you’re selling locally, look for a gateway that supports the payment methods your customers already use. If you’re selling internationally, make sure the provider supports your business country and your customers’ currencies.
Hey @fira1, Shopify Payments doesn’t cover Ethiopia. It’s live in about 40 countries and none of them are in Africa, which is why nothing shows up for you in the admin. Your route is a third-party gateway that supports Ethiopian businesses: Shopify keeps a list of payment gateways you can filter by country, so pick Ethiopia there and you’ll see exactly which providers you can connect, then add one under Settings then Payments. Honestly, I’d switch on a manual payment method in that same screen first, so you can take bank deposit or cash on delivery orders today while you sort the gateway out. Place a test order and check the method shows at checkout.
