Hello!
My funds have been stuck in my Shopify account, and I want to withdraw them to my Pakistani bank account.
Can anyone help?
This is a pretty common situation and it usually comes down to Shopify Payments not supporting direct payouts to Pakistani bank accounts, which is why your funds are stuck.
If you’re using Shopify Payments, the typical workaround is to switch your payout method to a supported intermediary like Payoneer or Wise, then withdraw from there to your Pakistani bank, but this only works if your Shopify store is set up in a country that Shopify Payments supports.
If that’s not possible, another option is to disable Shopify Payments and use a third-party gateway that supports Pakistan, such as PayFast, 2Checkout, or bank wire–based providers, though fees can be higher.
The key thing is that Shopify itself doesn’t “hold” funds arbitrarily; it’s a payout eligibility issue tied to your store country and payment provider, so once you align those correctly, withdrawals usually start flowing again.
