Which payment provider I can use in UAE without business registration?

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment

Topic summary

Seeking a UAE payment gateway that doesn’t require business registration after PayPal requested it.

  • Shopify support points to the official list of third‑party payment providers available in the UAE and advises contacting each directly, since requirements differ. Related documentation on third‑party providers is referenced.

  • Community feedback: One user reports creating a Ziina business account with only ID verification required (no business license). A later reply confirms “Ziina worked.”

  • Additional activity: Several users ask whether the solution worked and indicate they have the same need. Another suggests trying Stripe, but no result is reported.

  • Outcome/status: Partial resolution. Ziina appears to be a viable option without a business license for some users, though verification requirements vary by provider. The broader question remains open pending more confirmations or alternatives.

Hi @thehemashow ,

Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I’m happy to provide some assistance with locating a payment provider for the shop, to ensure this gets resolved.

As it currently stands, Shopify has integrated with over 100 different third-party payment providers to allow you to continue accepting credit cards online. Due to this, I encourage you to check out this list for all available payment providers within the UAE.

From here, you can connect with the payment providers directly for clarification on whether or not a business registration is required. They will be able to share more details with you as all payment providers have various requirements.

For more information on this, you can check our Third-Party Payment Providers documentation as it touches on this further.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
