Add Israel to Supported Merchant Countries

7934514 1 month ago

Hi,

I'm a Connect IQ developer based in Israel, building watch faces I'd like to sell through the CIQ Store.
Unfortunately, Israel isn't currently a supported country for the Merchant Service.

Are there any plans to add Israel to the list? Would love to hear from the Garmin team or other developers in the same situation.

Thanks!

Then you probably can open a Wise or Revolout account in Europe and use that.

Another (in some ways better) option is not to pay $100 for Garmin and use a 3rd party payment provider - one big advantage: you can support older devices

I'd expect this is something they look for when verifying a merchant account - make sure you are actually a real entity and located where you say.

I have the same problem (but I live in a different country), How do we setup a third party payment method and make it 'visible' while the watch face is on the Garmin site ?

You set up the 3rd party payment in your app, then upload it to the store (no need for merchant account), and click the Yes in the Monetization section.
