Hello, lately I’ve been having a problem where I can not set up shopify payments, because I live in Slovakia. Will shopify payments be available in Slovakia anytime soon?
Topic summary
Main issue: A merchant in Slovakia cannot enable Shopify Payments and asks if/when it will be supported.
Current status/update: A Shopify representative confirms Slovakia is not a supported country for Shopify Payments. Merchants in Slovakia can use third‑party payment gateways instead. Expansion may happen in the future, but there is no information or timeline. They recommend monitoring the Shopify changelog for any updates.
Further discussion: Another merchant asks how to submit feedback or upvote the request for Slovakia, noting that the Czech Republic is supported and many businesses operate across both markets, making the absence notable.
Outcomes and next steps:
- Use available third‑party gateways in the interim.
- Monitor the Shopify changelog for announcements on country availability.
- A process for providing feedback/upvoting this request was asked about but not answered yet.
Status: No resolution or ETA provided; discussion remains open with key question on feedback channel pending.

Hi @Gab07 ,
Thanks for reaching out. Slovakia is not one of the supported countries for Shopify Payments at this time, although merchants in Slovakia can use a variety of third-party gateways instead. We may extend the availability of Shopify Payments in future although I do not have any information on if or when the gateway may become available in Slovakia. I’d recommend following the Shopify changelog where updates will be posted.
Hi @Victor_5 is there a way of sending feedback or upvoting this idea?
Considering Czech Republic is part of Shopify Payments it’s weird that Slovakia isn’t because most businesses based in one of these two countries operate in both markets
