Collect payments on your Shopify store in Ghana

We're excited to announce our direct integration to Shopify for businesses in Ghana. You can set up a Shopify store and also accept local and international payments via cards and Mobile Money. (To be honest, this has been live for a while, but we only just got around to announcing it 😄)

About Shopify

Shopify is an incredibly easy-to-use ecommerce platform that allows anyone to set up an online presence for their business. Shopify is simple enough for most brands and creators to set up on their own, and customisable and scalable enough that larger organisations trust it as well.

With Shopify, you can sell physical products, services and consultations, as well as digital products, such as ebooks and online courses. You can also create membership websites, and sell tickets for virtual and physical events.

Here are some more reasons why millions of businesses around the world trust Shopify:

• It's a complete business platform: With Shopify, you get everything you need to run your business online out of the box: marketing tools, a robust inventory management tool, online payments powered by Paystack, and much more.
• Access to a rich app store: The Shopify App Store gives you access to over 4,000 apps for everything from email marketing to loyalty programs and more.
• Access to customisable themes: You can choose from over 100 free and paid customisable themes to create a unique look for your website. All the themes are optimised to work well on both mobile and desktop devices.
• Ease of use and access to support: It's super easy to use and set up, and you don't have to worry about the technical, beneath the hood stuff. If you need help, you'll find their 24/7 support team and rich community of Shopify users really helpful.

On a personal note: joining Paystack from Shopify

A few years ago I was Head of International Partnerships at Shopify, where my team identified and worked with key strategic partners in LATAM, EMEA and APAC.

One day, I stumbled across Paystack, and my subsequent conversation with Shola (Paystack CEO) kickstarted an adventure that would ultimately lead me to join the Paystack team. In my role as Head of Strategic Partnerships, I get to work closely and integrate with global commerce platforms to give thousands of African creators access to the best seller tools in the world.

I wrote all about it on my personal blog.

We're deeply invested in lowering the barrier of entry into online commerce for African creators and brands, and we look forward to more businesses on the continent selling online with Shopify.
