Shopify Local and Alternative Payment Methods in Niger

With over 25 million people, Niger’s eCommerce market is evolving, driven by increasing internet connectivity and a growing middle class. The country primarily uses the West African CFA Franc (XOF) and communicates in languages like French. Shopify merchants can access a broad customer base in Niger—but they need to offer the right local payment methods to succeed.

Why Target Niger’s eCommerce Market?

Nigerian shoppers prefer local payment methods over international credit cards. By integrating local payment services such as Orange Money, Moov Money, and Western Union, businesses can significantly boost their conversion rates. By using CartDNA’s Shopify payment solutions, even merchants who live outside Niger or have businesses registered elsewhere can start selling to this market without needing a physical presence in Niger.
