Shopify Ecomm Payment Gateway Advice Needed For Non US/UK/AUS Seller

Hey whats up STM Ecomm'ers.


I have just set up my first Shopify Store in the Fishing niche.

Please feel free to roast it here https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...-Charlie-Sheen

Plus more eye and input on my follow along would be greatly appreciated. https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...m-Follow-Along

My current head ache is payment gateways...


I have set up the Shopify store in my wife's name due to my residential status, so every thing is being done out of Thailand currently.


1) The payment gateway was set up in Paypal express with my wifes Thailand Paypal account....

2) Then I tried a test purchase to Australia (the first GEO I will be targeting) with my own Australian bank paypal account.

3) I keep getting a message saying that Paypal can not process purchases from Thailand.
I have read that this is an anti fraud method from Paypal when entering a different mailing address to the billing address which I believe will kill conversions.

4) Has any one come across this types of issues ?? and what where your work arounds and outcomes??

-- I will continue to start advertising and hopefully get some insights from the STM community on what to do next?
either ----
Change payment gateways - 2checkout
Try to fix API (not sure how to get this done)
Target different GEO in hope that this problem is only relative to Australian buyers

For further explanation of the issue I am having please feel free to read this issue a seller in the Philippines had raised with the Shopify website.
