Hi,

I found some threads from 2023/24 regarding Shopify Payments in Slovakia, yet I would like to re-open this issue.

As one of the top digital marketing agencies in Slovakia, we offer multiple services, one of which is e-shop development. It is quite often that we want to offer Shopify as the perfect solution for our customers, yet Shopify Payments is the one piece that’s missing when it comes to choosing a platform.

With that being said, we think it would be beneficial to consider adding this feature to our local market, as Slovakia is in the top 10 European countries when it comes to E-commerce covering consumer services.

Hi @Samuel_ui42

Until Shopify Payments becomes available for Slovakian merchants, you can easily use Stripe as your payment provider.

Additionally, see this link if you wish to integrate local alternative payment methods that are compatible with local Shopify stores across the globe.

Feel free to reach out to us for more details.

Happy selling! :grin:
