Hello, I am from Peru and want to start a shopify store. Can I sell to Peru? If not, what options do I have? Can I sell to other countries?

How can I charge and receive the money in Peru?

Hi @Hectorjcm

I see you’re looking to start a Shopify store in Peru and want to understand how selling and receiving payments work. Let me break it down for you.

Yes, you can sell to customers in Peru using Shopify. Shopify allows merchants to sell in most countries, including Peru. However, the key things to consider are payment processing and shipping options.

1. How to Receive Payments in Peru

Since Shopify Payments is not available in Peru, you’ll need to use third-party payment gateways. Some popular options for merchants in Peru include:

  • PayU Latam – Supports credit cards, PSE, cash payments, and more.
  • Mercado Pago – Widely used in Latin America, easy to integrate.
  • 2Checkout (now Verifone) – Accepts international payments.
  • PayPal – Can work, but you’ll need a business account, and withdrawing funds might require a linked bank account or Payoneer.

To set up a payment provider:

  1. Go to your Shopify Admin.
  2. Click Settings > Payments.
  3. Choose a provider that works in Peru and follow the setup instructions.

2. Selling to Other Countries

Yes, you can sell internationally! Shopify supports global selling, but you’ll need to:

  • Enable multiple currencies if you want to accept different ones.
  • Offer international shipping (check local couriers like Serpost, DHL, FedEx, or UPS).
  • Consider using Shopify Markets to manage pricing, payments, and checkout experiences for different countries.

3. If You Can’t Sell in Peru

If you run into issues selling within Peru (like payment restrictions), an alternative is to target international customers while using a payment provider that supports payouts to Peru. Some Peruvian merchants sell to the U.S., Europe, or Latin American markets using cross-border payments and international shipping.

Hope this helps! If you need any other assistance, feel free to ask, and I will try my best to support you.

Best regards,
Daisy.
