Republic Bank Shopify payment gateway
Shopify Payments isn't available in Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana and Barbados. BlueGate connects your Republic Bank card merchant account — processed by Powertranz — to your Shopify store, so you accept Visa and Mastercard and settle into your own account.
What you need
- A Republic Bank business account in your country
- Local business registration
- An approved e-commerce merchant account on the Powertranz gateway
How we set it up
- 1. Scope — confirm your Republic Bank account and the right e-commerce product.
- 2. Credentials — once Republic Bank approves you, we configure your gateway securely.
- 3. Test — approved, declined and cancelled payments, then a real live payment.
- 4. Go live — takings settle in Your local currency and/or US dollars, as agreed with Republic Bank.
