Shopify Local and Alternative Payment Methods in Qatar

With over 2.9 million people, Qatar has a rapidly growing eCommerce sector fueled by high internet penetration and a tech-savvy population. The country primarily uses the Qatari Riyal (QAR), and the official language is Arabic, though English is widely used in business. Shopify merchants looking to enter this market must integrate local payment solutions to cater to Qatari shoppers' preferences.

Why Target Qatar’s eCommerce Market?

Qatari consumers prefer local payment methods over international credit cards. Popular options include Qatar National Bank (QNB) Payment Gateway, Doha Bank Payment Gateway, and Ooredoo Money, which provide seamless and secure transactions. Additionally, Payfort (Amazon Payment Services) and CPay are trusted regional alternatives. By integrating these payment methods, businesses can offer a convenient checkout experience and boost sales. Using CartDNA’s Shopify payment solutions, merchants can start accepting these payments without needing a physical presence in Qatar.
