Hello Shopify Team and People,

I am a Shopify user from Turkey. Currently, many of the most popular payment providers such as PayPal, Stripe, and Wise are unfortunately unavailable in Turkey due to regulations. This creates serious challenges for Turkish merchants who want to sell both locally and globally through Shopify.

As an alternative, I would kindly request that Payoneer be added as an official payment provider option in Shopify. Payoneer is widely used in Turkey for international transactions and is already trusted by freelancers, e-commerce sellers, and businesses.

Adding Payoneer as a payment gateway would greatly support Turkish Shopify merchants, help us expand to international markets, and provide a more seamless selling experience.

Thank you for considering this request.

Best regards,
