Want to buy a Stripe account for my store

Shopify Discussion
, ,

Topic summary

A user seeks to purchase an existing Stripe account to use with their Shopify store because Stripe is not available in their country.

Key Points:

  • The user wants to buy rather than create a new Stripe account due to geographic restrictions
  • Shopify support clarifies that third-party payment gateways like Stripe likely don’t support account transfers or purchases
  • Payment gateway availability is determined by the store’s registered country in Shopify settings, so using a purchased account may not resolve the issue

Recommendations Provided:

  • Contact Stripe support directly to verify their policies on account transfers
  • Share the specific country location to receive a list of alternative payment gateways available for that region

Status: The discussion remains unresolved, with the user not yet disclosing their country or pursuing the suggested alternatives.

Hi there @verotam !

While we’re only able to provide support for Shopify and Shopify services like Shopify Payments here ourselves, I can advise that third-party gateway services like Stripe are unlikely to support account purchases like this.

In order to be certain about this, I’d advise you to check-in with Stripe support directly here.

If your store is based in a country where Stripe is not available, it would likely not make a difference in terms of your Shopify store, as the payment gateway options available are based on the country selected for your store address in the Settings menu.

If you are happy to share which country you are based in, I can share a list of the gateway options that are available to Shopify stores based there with you.

Can you tell me a bit more about your business, what you’re selling and what stage you’re at with it?
