The Payments Wall
Why Caribbean Shopify Stores Hit a Payments Wall
The Wall You're Hitting
- Shopify Payments isn't available in Trinidad & Tobago — or most of the Caribbean.
- Stripe and PayPal payouts land in a foreign wallet, not your local bank account.
- Banks and processors run on their own APIs and credentials most agencies have never touched.
- Your physical shop and online store run on separate systems, so stock and sales don't match.
How We Fix It
- We connect your Shopify checkout to a local gateway — Republic Bank, WiPay, AmberPay and more.
- Card payments settle directly into your own business bank account, in your local currency.
- We've built and shipped these integrations before — credentials, testing and go-live handled end to end.
- We can sync Shopify with your POS (like Loyverse), so in-store and online sales reconcile automatically.

The Process
How It Works
-
Scope your bank
Tell us which bank or processor you use; we confirm what's possible and what's needed to connect it.
-
Build & configure
We connect your Shopify checkout to the gateway, so it's ready to process real card payments.
-
Test with a live payment
We run a live test payment before go-live, so you see the funds land before your customers do.
-
Go live & get paid
Your store goes live and card payments start settling directly into your own bank account.

Shopify Payment Gateway (Caribbean) FAQs
No. Shopify Payments (Shopify's built-in processor) is not available in Trinidad and Tobago or most Caribbean countries. To accept card payments you need a third-party payment gateway connected to a local bank or processor — which is exactly what Paperless Blueprint sets up on your Shopify store.
The main options are local bank gateways via PowerTranz / First Atlantic Commerce (Republic Bank, First Citizens, Scotiabank, CIBC), plus WiPay, AmberPay and LascoBiz (Jamaica), Fygaro and YOOZ. Paperless Blueprint has built Shopify integrations for all of these.
Yes. With a local gateway connected to your bank merchant account, customer card payments settle into your own business bank account in your local currency — not a foreign wallet you have to withdraw from.
It depends on the gateway and how quickly your bank approves the merchant account, but the Shopify-side integration itself is typically completed in days once your gateway credentials are ready. Book a free call and we will scope your specific setup.
It depends on which gateway your bank uses, the size and complexity of your store, and the scope of the work, so there is no fixed price. Book a free call and we will scope your specific setup and give you a quote.
