Scotiabank Shopify payment gateway
Shopify Payments isn't available in Barbados, The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. BlueGate connects your Scotiabank 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 Scotiabank 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 Scotiabank account and the right e-commerce product.
- 2. Credentials — once Scotiabank 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 Scotiabank.
Scotiabank + Shopify FAQs

Not out of the box — there's no native Scotiabank Shopify app. BlueGate connects your Scotiabank merchant account, processed through Powertranz, to your Shopify store and tests it before launch.
Which countries does this cover?
Barbados, The Bahamas and the wider Caribbean. Scotiabank applies its own eligibility rules in each country.
How do payments settle?
The card is processed by Powertranz and funds settle in Your local currency and/or US dollars, as agreed with Scotiabank. BlueGate never holds your money.
Are you affiliated with Scotiabank?
No. BlueGate is an independent provider. Your merchant account and its terms are agreed directly with Scotiabank.
