For store owners in Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and other African markets, Paystack is often the most practical payment gateway to offer local currencies and a smooth checkout. This guide covers how to add Paystack in your Shopify payment settings, connect it correctly with API keys, and troubleshoot when it isn't appearing.

01Open Shopify payment provider settings

Go to your Shopify admin's payment settings and look for the option to add a third-party payment provider.

02Add Paystack as a payment provider

Select Paystack from the list of available providers or add it manually if it's supported as a custom gateway in your region.

Enter your Paystack API keys correctly to authenticate the connection between Paystack and your Shopify store.

04Troubleshoot if Paystack isn't showing

If Paystack doesn't appear as an option, confirm it's supported in your Shopify plan and region, since availability can vary by market.

05Test a transaction

Process a test payment to confirm Paystack is working correctly at checkout before going fully live.
