Bu konuda malesef üzülerek sizlere katılıyorum. Shopify Payments 'in artık Türkiye 'ye açılması lazım. Global ödeme yöntemi konusunda sıkıntı çekiyor herkes. Paypal kapalı stripe yok, mecburen insanlar ajans üzerinden yabancı firmalar kurmak zorunda kalıyor, üzücü. Umarım en yakın sürede bu durum değişir.
Topic summary
Core Issue:
Shopify Payments remains unavailable in Turkey, forcing merchants to rely on third-party payment gateways with significantly higher fees (up to 5%) and unfavorable currency conversion rates.
Merchant Impact:
- Stores cannot be featured in the Shop app without Shopify Payments
- Limited access to popular payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal (also unavailable in Turkey)
- Turkish law prohibits selling in foreign currencies domestically, complicating international sales
- Customers show hesitancy toward unfamiliar third-party gateways, resulting in lost sales
Current Workarounds:
- Local gateways: IyziCo, PayTR, Garanti virtual POS, Vizovcc, Shopier (credit card only, high commissions)
- Shipping: Yurtiçi Kargo (domestic), DHL or Ship Entegra (international)
- Invoicing: E-arşiv fatura required for international shipments; proforma invoices needed for customs
- Advanced solution: Register business entity abroad (UK/EU/US) to access Shopify Payments, though personal ID must match business registration country
Status:
Shopify staff have filed internal feature requests and confirmed discussions with Turkish trade officials in Toronto, but no timeline exists for availability. Merchants express frustration about competitive disadvantages and consider migrating to alternative platforms or establishing foreign entities.
