Why is my seller account only getting a 3-day trial period instead of 14?

Dear,

i have created seller account from pakistan but struggeling in below points.

trail period has to be 14 days then why 3 days were assigned to me?

i am unable to set payment mathods as there isnt any supportive third party payments plan.

my account settings are pending due to this issue. i thought it can be fixed with location changed to USA. your advise on this please.

i have an non-resident LLC company in USA, how can i use that for my shopify.?

i want to sell on shopify USA / Canada not in PAkistan. please help to select accurate area or plan.

since i have start my billing please advise what should i do now.

Regards

Hi @Smile-Store ,

Thanks for all your questions!

Shopify has adopted a new trial strategy that benefits store owners like yourself more. As of October 21st, 2022, the 14-day free trial length for new merchants has been modified to 3 days. After the 3-day trial is up, merchants will be required to select a paid plan to continue their store.

However, if you are picking the Starter or Basic plans, you will be able to build and run a store for just $1 USD/month for 3 months. In other words, you get to run a store for 3 months for just $3!

If you are operating from Pakistan, you will need to use a payment gateway in that region that integrates with Shopify. We have a comprehensive list of Pakistan Payment Gateways that Shopify can support. It will not usually be enough to simply have an LLC in the US, as most payment gateways require a lot more documentation for regulatory purposes.

What kind of business are you building and what are you selling? And what stage are you at in your store development (aside from the payment gateway issue)?
