Hi everyone,

I hope you’re doing well!

I’m a Shopify merchant based in Bangladesh and would love to use Shopify Payments to streamline my transactions. However, I noticed that Shopify Payments isn’t available here yet.

It would be very beneficial for both the merchants and Shopify if Shopify payment is available in Bangladesh.

Shopify would be able to attract more merchants from Bangladesh.

I hope, Shopify will enable Shopify payment in Bangladesh very soon.

Thanks.

Hi @Ifat1234

Shopify Payments isn’t available in Bangladesh right now, but they hear you and we’re working on a solution. They are always adding support for new payments, and your feedback helps them prioritize. In the meantime, you can also use third party gateways like 2Checkout or SSLCOMMERZ. Watch out for updates from Shopify if support will come soon to your area.

Hi @SealSubs-Roan That’s great to hear. But as Shopify payment is not available in Bangladesh, we are unable to enable the “local currency” option in our online shop.

Thanks.
