Local payment methods with Shopify Payments in New Zealand
Local payment methods must be activated in the Payments section of your Shopify admin.
Local payment methods display at checkout based on your customer's location, not your store's location. This means that you can accept payments from customers in different countries using their chosen local payment methods.
For example, if your store is located in New Zealand, you have iDEAL | Wero activated as a local payment method, and your customer is located in the Netherlands, then iDEAL | Wero displays as a payment option at checkout for that customer.
The following table displays 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 |
