Hello Shopify Team and Shopify Community,
I would like to request that Whish Pay be considered as a supported payment method for Shopify stores in Lebanon in the future.
Whish is a widely used digital payment service in Lebanon, and adding it as a native Shopify payment option would be extremely valuable for Lebanese merchants and customers. Many businesses in Lebanon face limitations with international payment gateways, making it difficult to accept online payments through Shopify.
Why Whish Pay would be valuable for Shopify in Lebanon:
-
Strong local presence: Whish is well-known and widely used by customers in Lebanon. -
Better payment accessibility: It could provide Lebanese merchants with a practical local payment solution. -
More opportunities for Shopify businesses: Supporting Whish could make Shopify more accessible to small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs in Lebanon. -
Improved customer experience: Customers would be able to pay using a payment method they already know and trust. -
Growth of Shopify in Lebanon: Adding local payment solutions could encourage more Lebanese businesses to build and grow their stores on Shopify.
I understand that integrating a new payment provider requires technical, financial, regulatory, and security considerations. However, I strongly believe that Whish Pay could be an important addition to Shopify’s payment ecosystem in Lebanon.
I would greatly appreciate it if Shopify could consider adding Whish Pay as a supported payment provider or developing an official integration in the future.
Shopify has a large community of entrepreneurs in Lebanon, and supporting local payment methods like Whish Pay could make a significant difference for us.
Thank you to the Shopify team and community for considering this request. I hope to see Whish Pay supported on Shopify in the future!
