Shopify Local and Alternative Payment Methods in Uganda

Uganda, with a population of above 50 million people, has a rapidly expanding eCommerce sector, driven by increasing internet access and mobile money adoption. The country primarily transacts in Ugandan Shilling (UGX), making it essential for Shopify merchants to offer local payment solutions for better sales conversion.

Why Target Uganda’s eCommerce Market?

Popular methods include MTN Mobile Money, Blik, P24, and other regional financial services.
