Shopify Plan Payment?

chuckans said:

Alrite!

So about 6 months back or something, I was able to use my Payoneer Card on Shopify to purchase a Plan there (standard $29). Now I cannot do this anymore.

Is there any solution to this?

I cannot open a bank account in my own country because of a stupid mistake I did when I was a youngster, about 10 years back. I am going to reach out to one bank tomorrow to see if enough time has passed and if they are willing to give me a second chance (show them proof of earnings on my end etc etc). But if they are shitheads, as bank personell usually are (not being biased. just personal experience), I am still going to need to purchase a plan somehow.

Help! Anyone?

Shopify basically banned using VCC's - Every time i give over a development store and the customer uses VCC the site gets instantly closed and you need to contact support with couple request to get things running again.

@INCC Is there any way around this? You seem to be working in this field. Any idea? I tried contacting them saying I could verify myself and stuff but they are not interested in that. I find it stupid that they would not cooperate with Payoneer or something along those lines. I spent over a week setting up my store just to realize this! >_<

I think there is no workaround to this, Shopify is notorious for not giving any answers to these problems nor solutions.
The thing is.. you can't go very far with using Shopify and virtual cards.. besides your basic plan fee there are app fees and you pay for the products you sell.. 5000 $ in revenue puts your monthly costs over 100$ easily - They dont let you to change your cards each month, they will froze your site for this, and it would get too complicated for you anyways

Try to get Stripe Atlas.. The cards should be included there, I haven't used it myself but it's definitely better than using any VCC's and you will get western bank account with the Stripe integration.

So you either need to pay for the Atlas program or find another platform for yourself.

Thanks a lot for the answer my friend. I'll look into Stripe Atlas and visit my local bank here tomorrow in either case. Cheers. Have a great day.

Are you sure? Are they not classified as VCC? Could you clarify? Appreciate the help.

Edit: I see now that Skrill has a Physical Card! Is this the one you are referring to? This is awesome. Imma apply ASAP.

Yep reloadable and shopify accepts it.

I've always used my skrill card to pay for shopify plans.
