Shopify Payment Gateways, Websites & AI Employees for Trinidad & the Caribbean

Can I accept online payments on Shopify in Trinidad and the Caribbean?

Shopify Payments is not available in most of the Caribbean, so a Shopify store here cannot take card payments out of the box. Paperless Blueprint connects your Shopify store to a local bank or processor — Republic Bank, First Citizens, Scotiabank, CIBC Caribbean, RBC Royal Bank, WiPay, Fygaro, PowerTranz, AmberPay/LascoBiz or YOOZ — so payments settle directly into your own business bank account. We have built more than ten of these integrations, including the first fully-capable Republic Bank Shopify app in the Caribbean. → Shopify Payment Gateway Integration

Who builds websites and Shopify stores for Caribbean businesses?

Paperless Blueprint designs and builds conversion-focused websites on Shopify, WordPress and custom platforms for businesses across Trinidad and the Caribbean. Every Shopify store we build can connect to a local payment gateway from day one, so Caribbean merchants are never stuck with a store that cannot take local card payments. → Website Design & Development → Shopify Development

What is an AI Employee and how does it work on WhatsApp?

An AI Employee is a trained AI chatbot that works your business's WhatsApp number — answering questions, qualifying leads, booking appointments and replying to voice notes, 24 hours a day. Paperless Blueprint builds and trains AI Employees for Caribbean businesses so no enquiry goes unanswered outside office hours. → WhatsApp AI Chatbot

Who manages Facebook, Instagram and TikTok ads for Trinidad and Tobago businesses?

Paperless Blueprint plans, creates and manages paid social advertising campaigns on Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and TikTok for Trinidad and Tobago businesses — audience targeting, ad creative, budget optimisation and performance reporting, with leads routed straight to WhatsApp or your website so they convert into paying customers. → Social Media Advertising

Case Study

What did Paperless Blueprint build for ShopNicksTT in Trinidad?

We designed and built a responsive, SEO-focused Shopify store for ShopNicksTT in Trinidad and Tobago, then connected it to a local Republic Bank gateway so online card payments settle directly into the client's own business bank account. We also integrated the store with Loyverse POS, keeping in-store and online sales in sync without double data entry.

The first fully-capable Republic Bank Shopify app in the Caribbean — local online payments, straight into the merchant's own bank account.

Homepage FAQs

Paperless Blueprint is a web design and Shopify agency based in Woodbrook, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, founded in 2008 by Justin Scipio. We build websites, Shopify stores with local payment gateways, and AI Employees for WhatsApp, for businesses across Trinidad and Tobago and the wider Caribbean.

We offer five core services: Website Design & Development, Shopify Development, Shopify Payment Gateway Integration, AI Employees (WhatsApp AI chatbots), and Social Media Advertising. Each has its own dedicated page with full detail.

Yes. Shopify Payments is not available in Trinidad and Tobago, so we connect your Shopify store to a local bank or processor instead, such as Republic Bank, First Citizens, Scotiabank or WiPay, so card payments settle directly into your own business bank account.

We have built Shopify integrations with Republic Bank, First Citizens, Scotiabank, CIBC Caribbean, RBC Royal Bank, WiPay, Fygaro, PowerTranz (First Atlantic Commerce), AmberPay/LascoBiz and YOOZ — 10+ gateways connecting Shopify stores across Trinidad and the wider Caribbean.

Shopify Development is building or rebuilding your Shopify store itself — theme, product setup, apps. Shopify Payment Gateway Integration is connecting an existing or new store to a local bank so it can take Caribbean card payments. Most clients need both; we offer them as separate services so you can start with whichever you already have.

An AI Employee is a trained AI chatbot that runs on your business's own WhatsApp number. Unlike a scripted, rules-based bot, it understands full sentences and voice notes, answers questions in context, qualifies leads and books appointments, without a human watching the phone.

Both. We build on Shopify for ecommerce and on WordPress, including WooCommerce, for content-led and brochure sites, and recommend the platform based on what the business actually needs.

Our starting prices are: Website Design from $900 USD, an AI Employee (WhatsApp Hub) from $97 USD, and Ads Management from $360 USD. The Shopify payment gateway app is from $25 USD per month — a recurring app subscription fee, separate from the cost of building your store. Exact pricing depends on scope, so book a free call for a fixed quote.

Yes. Alongside Trinidad and Tobago, we have delivered ecommerce and web design work in Jamaica, and we run ad campaigns for clients in the Bahamas. We serve businesses across the wider Caribbean.

Book a free strategy call. We'll ask about your business, your current website or Shopify store, and which service fits — web design, Shopify development, payment gateway integration, AI Employee or social ads — then send a proposal.
In Their Words

What Caribbean business owners say about working with us

★★★★★ Verified client reviews

I cannot recommend the Paperless Blueprint team highly enough! From start to finish, they made building my Shopify website an absolute breeze. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and clear communication were unmatched. They didn’t just create a beautiful, high-performing online store — they also successfully linked it to my Republic Bank account which was exactly what I needed to accept payments online. Thank you for making my dream of owning a business a realty. I shared my dreams and you made it happen.
