Entering India with Shopify payments is not just a list of supported methods. A cross-border store should check merchant eligibility, settlement currency, failure recovery, refunds, fraud, address, tax, delivery, and the operational responsibility of cash collection. UPI, cards, and cash on delivery belong in one market acceptance matrix.
Test the order journey
For each market record payment method, currency, minimums, 3DS, failure codes, refund path, reconciliation fields, and support entry. For cash or COD test refusal, cancellation, second delivery, stock reservation, and cash recovery. One successful payment does not prove long-term reliability.
