Hello,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request the consideration of enabling Shopify Payments for merchants based in Bangladesh.

As an entrepreneur operating my business through Shopify, I have noticed that the lack of local payment options significantly impacts our ability to reach a broader audience and thrive in the market.

By allowing Shopify Payments in Bangladesh, you would not only enhance the user experience for local merchants but also attract more users to the Shopify platform.

I believe that enabling this feature could greatly benefit your growing user base in Bangladesh, as it could simplify transactions, reduce fees from third-party payment processors, and ultimately foster a more robust e-commerce ecosystem.

Thank you for considering this request. I look forward to your positive response.

Best regards,

Md. Ifat Islam.
