Straight Answer

What is Scotia eCom+?

Scotiabank Trinidad and Tobago Limited is a TTSE-listed bank (ticker SBTT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Scotiabank Group — the Bank of Nova Scotia — serving Trinidad and Tobago since 1954. Its online card-acceptance product for business clients is Scotia eCom+, available to Scotiabank merchants across Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, The Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands. When we build a Scotia eCom+ integration, we connect it through the PowerTranz (First Atlantic Commerce) gateway. Paperless Blueprint wires eCom+ into your Shopify checkout and settles card takings into your own Scotiabank account — one of more than ten gateways we integrate.

The Caribbean Payments Problem

Why Caribbean Shopify Stores Can't Take Cards Out of the Box

The Wall You're Hitting

  • Shopify Payments doesn't work in most of the Caribbean, so your Shopify store can't take cards out of the box.
  • You bank with Scotiabank and want card takings landing in your own Scotiabank account — not a foreign wallet you have to withdraw from.
  • Scotiabank issues eCom+ credentials and runs its own sandbox and compliance review, but wiring them into Shopify isn't a one-click app install.
  • You want customers paying by card on a checkout that looks and feels trusted, wherever in the Caribbean your store sells.

How We Fix It With Scotiabank eCom+

  • We connect your Scotiabank eCom+ merchant account to your Shopify checkout, building the integration via the PowerTranz (First Atlantic Commerce) gateway, so it accepts card payments online.
  • Card takings settle into your own Scotiabank business account — your bank, your account.
  • We handle the sandbox StoreID and Shared Secret, get your store through Scotiabank's compliance review, and run a real live-payment test end to end.
  • Your checkout stays branded, supports 3-D Secure (3DS2) and PCI-DSS, so customers pay with confidence in any of the 7 markets eCom+ covers.
The Process

How We Add Scotiabank eCom+ to Your Shopify Store

  1. Scope your Scotiabank setup

    Tell us you bank with (or want) Scotiabank; we confirm your business account and how eCom+ fits your Shopify store, across whichever of the 7 Caribbean markets you sell in.

  2. Sandbox, compliance & credentials

    Scotiabank issues a sandbox StoreID and Shared Secret so we can build and test the integration, then reviews your store's policy, refund and privacy pages before releasing production credentials.

  3. Test a live payment

    We run a real card payment through checkout before go-live, so you see it work before your customers do.

  4. Go live & get paid

    Once Scotiabank approves your production credentials, the technical go-live can be within 24 hours — the full process, including their compliance review, typically takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Takings then settle into your own Scotiabank account, with USD settlement available for Trinidad and Tobago sellers.

Which Scotiabank?

Is this the same Scotiabank as in Canada?

Yes — Scotiabank is one bank, the Bank of Nova Scotia, with retail banking in Canada and operations across Latin America and the Caribbean. This page is specifically about Scotia eCom+, Scotiabank's online card-acceptance product for business clients in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, The Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands — not Scotiabank's Canadian retail or consumer banking.

Scotia eCom+ integrations we build run on the same PowerTranz / First Atlantic Commerce gateway as several Caribbean banks — see the PowerTranz (First Atlantic Commerce) Shopify gateway, the Republic Bank Shopify payment gateway and the First Citizens Shopify payment gateway. Scotiabank is also a bank partner of Fygaro, a Caribbean payments platform we also connect to Shopify. Comparing options? See the full Shopify payment gateway hub.

Scotiabank Shopify Gateway FAQs

Scotiabank Trinidad and Tobago Limited is a TTSE-listed bank (ticker SBTT), a wholly owned subsidiary of Scotiabank Group — the Bank of Nova Scotia — serving Trinidad and Tobago since 1954. It is a bank, not a payment vendor.

Scotia eCom+ is Scotiabank's own online card-acceptance product for business clients, available to Scotiabank merchants across Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, The Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands. It's what we connect to your Shopify checkout.

Yes, it's the same bank — the Bank of Nova Scotia — which also runs retail banking in Canada and operations across Latin America. This page is specifically about Scotia eCom+, Scotiabank's Caribbean e-commerce/merchant-services product, not Canadian retail or consumer banking.

Not out of the box — Scotiabank has no native Shopify app. We build and test the connection between your Scotia eCom+ merchant account and your Shopify checkout, then run a real live payment before you go live.

When we build a Scotia eCom+ integration, we connect it through the PowerTranz (First Atlantic Commerce) gateway. Scotiabank hasn't published which processor powers eCom+ on its own site, so this is a fact about how we build the integration, based on our own delivery experience.

Scotia eCom+ is available in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, The Bahamas, the Cayman Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands — 7 markets, the widest coverage of any gateway we connect to Shopify. If you have a Scotiabank merchant account in any of them, we can connect it.

You'll need to be a Scotiabank business client first. Scotiabank then issues a sandbox StoreID and Shared Secret so we can build and test the integration, and reviews your store's policy, refund and privacy pages before releasing production credentials. Once approved, the technical go-live can be within 24 hours — but the full process, including the compliance review, typically takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

Yes, for Trinidad and Tobago merchants — Scotia eCom+ supports USD multi-currency settlement, which is a useful edge if you sell to customers outside Trinidad and Tobago.

Yes. Scotia eCom+ uses 3-D Secure (3DS2) for authenticated, PCI-DSS-compliant checkout. We build and test the secure-authentication flow on your Shopify store.

No. Paperless Blueprint is an independent Shopify integrator. We are not a bank, and we are not partnered with, authorised by, endorsed by, or certified by Scotiabank. We connect the Scotia eCom+ merchant account and gateway credentials that you hold into your Shopify store.
