Are you looking for the right way to set up Shopify Payments even though Shopify Payments is not available in your country? In this video, I guide you step by step on how to activate Shopify Payments from anywhere you’re watching from. I first break down the three main ways Shopify lets you accept payments—Shopify Payments (cards + wallets like Apple Pay), PayPal, and manual payments—then I show you exactly how to get Shopify Payments to appear in your dashboard. The key move is switching your store country/region inside Shopify settings (General → Billing address) to the United States, then saving a US address so the Shopify Payments option shows up under Payments. After that, I walk you through the requirements for non‑US citizens: a US-based LLC, EIN, ITIN (you’ll enter it where Shopify asks for SSN), a US bank account, proof of address, and identity verification (passport is the best option if you’re not a US citizen). Finally, I take you through the activation form (LLC, business details, category, representative, and document uploads like IRS letter 147C/SS-4), then you submit for verification—usually within 24 hours.
