Hi @Msulemn

For receiving payments in Pakistan, third-party payment gateways are your best option since Shopify Payments isn’t available there. Popular choices include 2Checkout (now Verifone), Payoneer, and PayFast. These are widely used, secure, and work well for international transactions.

If you’re targeting global customers, Payoneer allows you to receive payments from platforms like Amazon and Fiverr, while 2Checkout supports multiple currencies and credit card payments. PayFast is a local option that integrates well with Shopify for domestic transactions.
