I’m having trouble finding a third-party payment provider that allows Egyptian bank accounts in USD without requiring a Tax Registration Number, please help me find one. I tried PayPal but it only accepts U.S. bank accounts, or credit cards.
Topic summary
-
Merchant needs a third‑party payment provider that can pay out to an Egyptian bank account in USD without requiring a Tax Registration Number (TRN). PayPal was unsuitable, as it only supports U.S. bank accounts or cards for this case.
-
Shopify support can’t confirm specific third‑party requirements. They provided a link to Shopify’s “Payment information by country or region” page and instructed entering “Egypt” to see all available gateways.
-
Action items: review each listed gateway’s onboarding criteria (USD settlement, support for Egyptian bank accounts, and whether a TRN is required) and select a compatible option.
-
No specific provider was identified; the question remains open pending the merchant’s research of the listed gateways.
Hi, @MikoManu . I’m happy to help you out with this!
Since these are third party services I won’t have much information on the requirements of each payment gateway or payment provider, and wouldn’t be able to say for certain which one would work best for you. That being said, I wanted to share this page here, which you can use to find a list of payment gateways available to use with Shopify in Egypt. When you visit that page, just type “Egypt” into the text box under where it says Payment information by country or region and the list will appear. I recommend looking into these options further to find a good option for your business.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
