Is Shopify Payment Available in China?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 1:01 am

Shopify is a popular e-commerce platform that enables businesses to set up an online store. It is available in many countries, including China.

However, Shopify’s payment system is not available in China. This means that businesses using Shopify in China cannot accept payments from Chinese customers.

PRO TIP: Shopify Payments is not available in China. Any attempt to use Shopify Payments in China will result in an error.

There are a few possible explanations for this. Firstly, Shopify may be complying with Chinese government regulations that restrict the use of foreign payment systems in China. Alternatively, Shopify may not have obtained the necessary licenses from Chinese authorities to operate its payment system in the country.

Whatever the reason, the lack of a Shopify payment system in China is a major disadvantage for businesses that use the platform and want to sell to Chinese consumers. Businesses will either need to use a different e-commerce platform that does have a payment system available in China, or find another way to accept payments from Chinese customers.
