What payment methods can I use for my store in Lebanon?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

Payment options for a Shopify store based in Lebanon, with PayPal unavailable, were requested, including whether payouts can go directly to a Lebanese bank account or an OMT debit card.

Latest update: A staff member directed the merchant to Shopify’s payment providers page and to filter by Lebanon to see the available options. All listed processors for Lebanon are third‑party gateways; Shopify could not provide specific eligibility or setup details.

Next steps:

  • Review the Lebanon-filtered list of gateways on the linked page.
  • Contact the shortlisted gateways to confirm acceptance methods, onboarding requirements, and payout options to Lebanese bank accounts or debit cards (including any OMT-related feasibility).

Status: No confirmed answer on direct bank-account or OMT debit-card linking via Shopify. Outcome depends on third‑party gateway capabilities; further clarification required from those providers.

Hi, Iam considering opening a shopify store here from Lebanon, and I want to know what type of payment methods are available for future customers that want to pay are supported here in Lebanon (because paypal is not supported here).

Can I for example link my bank account to my shopify store so the payments would go directly to my account or is this not supported?

And if that doesn’t work out can I then link my OMT debit card to my store so then the payments would go directly there?

I would really appreciate it if you’d give an answer.

Thank you.

Hi, @abbasso ! You can find the available payment gateways to use in Lebanon with Shopify here. When you visit this page, just type ‘Lebanon’ under where it says “Filter available payment providers by country or region” and the options will appear. Since these are all third party payment gateways I won’t have more information on the requirements to use these, but if you reach out to the payment gateways you’re considering they can help further.
