Pakistani Shopify merchants face significant challenges accepting international payments, as Shopify Payments is unavailable in Pakistan and many third-party payment gateways either don’t operate there or reject Pakistani applications.
Core Issues:
Merchants pay the same Shopify fees as other countries but lack equivalent payment options
Third-party providers often require LLC registration, which many Pakistani sellers don’t have
Most merchants sell to US markets from Pakistan, creating currency/payout complications
Proposed Solutions:
Shopify support provides a list of 30+ payment gateways theoretically available in Pakistan (including 2Checkout, Payoneer Checkout, Skrill, and others)
Multiple users recommend UNUMPAY, a Shopify-approved app that reportedly integrates Pakistani banks (Alfalah, JazzCash, Easypaisa, UBL, HBL, Meezan)
Alternative: manual payments or direct bank transfers
Community Skepticism:
Several users report the official gateway list shows “not available in your country” when tested
Concerns about 2Checkout requesting full store access credentials
UNUMPAY users report confusion about setup requirements (merchant IDs, API keys, profile IDs)
Some dismiss all solutions as ineffective
Status: Unresolved. Shopify filed an internal feature request but provided no timeline for native payment support in Pakistan.

Why there is no solid payment method in Pakistan for international currencies and markets while we pay the same billing fees and conversion fees (whatever they want) to Shopify platform as other countries do?
How disgusting! Shopify works in Pakistan and Shopify payment does not work.
Third party payments also doesn’t approve Pakistani applications.
Make a clear decision and provide a clear payment method to Pakistan (even a third-party) or just remove it from Shopify service platform.
I understand you would like to see Shopify Payments become available for use in Pakistan, as well as more third-party payment provider options.
What I’m able to do for you from here is file a request internally for this update, so our internal teams know this is something our merchants are looking for.
If you have queries about the use of any third-party gateway you would need to contact that gateway directly to confirm their processes and requirements

If there is a third party to give us a payout please suggest it.
As these are all third-party companies, external to Shopify we would not be able to answer your support queries on their services, processes and requirements.
Not to worry, as you can reach out to any gateway you’re considering to ask them if they can handle sales and payouts in your preferred currency.
We do not have access to info on these external companies from here in Shopify, so you would need to be talking to the providers directly to address any queries you have.
Should you not find a payment processor that fits your needs, you can look into the alternative suggestions for taking payments shared above.
Hi there! I humbly request you to double check the payment gateway options as the list you provided is still showing “not available in your country” and I am having alot of issue as I have spent money on this platform and others to integrate with shopify I dont understand why shopify payment is not allowed in Pakistan. Also tried payoneer checkout but they don’t reply as well. And 2checkout asks for the store password and username and full access which I believe is absurd.
Shopify payments is not available in Pakistan hence to do so, you need an application that enables the process. For Pakistan, Shopify approved application is UNUMPAY https://apps.shopify.com/unum-pay. Installing it, you can enable any bank of Pakistan i.e. alfalah, jazzcash, easypaisa, UBL, meezan bank, stripe, HBL etc.
