Local payment methods with Shopify Payments in Australia
Local payment methods must be activated in the Payments section of your Shopify admin.
Local payment methods are displayed at checkout based on your customer's location, not your store's location. This means you can accept payments from customers in different countries using their chosen local payment methods.
For example, if your store is located in Australia, you have iDEAL | Wero activated, and your customer is located in the Netherlands, then iDEAL | Wero is displayed as a payment option at checkout.
The following table shows which payment methods you can activate and which countries your customers must be located in to use these options at checkout.
| Payment method | Customer location |
|---|---|
| Bancontact | Belgium |
| iDEAL | Wero | Netherlands |
| Przelewy24 | Poland |
Additional eligibility requirements for specific local payment methods
You must have processed at least 100 orders with Shopify Payments before you can activate iDEAL | Wero. Learn more about the requirements when offering iDEAL | Wero as a local payment method.
