# How to Offer MBWay for Shopify Subscriptions: The Missing Solution
## The Growth-Limiting Problem Every Portuguese Business Faces
If you’re running a Shopify store targeting Portuguese customers, you’ve likely encountered a frustrating limitation: **Shopify Payments doesn’t support MBWay or Multibanco for subscription payments**. This technical gap is preventing thousands of Portuguese businesses from maximizing their recurring revenue potential.
For many Portuguese consumers, MBWay has become the preferred payment method – it’s instant, secure, and incredibly convenient. When your customers can’t use MBWay for subscriptions, you’re literally leaving money on the table.
## The Portuguese Market Reality
The numbers speak volumes: **over 3 million Portuguese users actively use MBWay**. For many, it’s the preferred digital payment method, even surpassing traditional credit cards. When you force customers to use only credit cards for subscriptions, you’re:
– **Reducing conversions** – many customers abandon the process
– **Limiting your target market** – excluding consumers who prefer MBWay
– **Losing competitive advantage** – competitors with MBWay solutions gain ground
