Hi,
No, sorry for the confusion… I am based in SA but most of my customers are in the US and Europe. I want to be able to accept payments easily from these places, but also want South Africans to not be excluded as customers.
I think I’ll stick to PayPal for now with my store currency set to USD. PayPal will at least pay out into my SA bank account.
It looks like 2Checkout will support it but with lots of different fees. Conversion fee, plus it looks like a $15 fee for Forex or something, where we’re based fee… not so clear cut.
I’m looking in to Peach Payments now as well, just to see, but I’ve got a feeling it’ll be a similar story to Payfast or 2Checkout.
I agree with you, Shopify doesn’t make it too easy with the payment gateways. I’m always going back to look at other website builders/hosts that would be friendlier to my location (and budget!), but it always feels like starting over and ending up back in the same place.
Thanks and good luck to you too!
