What can't the TeleportHQ store do yet?
The TeleportHQ store sells physical and digital products, personalized products, subscriptions and gift cards, paid through Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Razorpay, Square, Paddle or CoinGate, or on delivery. It can't yet connect seven other payment providers, import products straight from another store platform (importing a CSV or JSON file, including a Shopify export, does work), fetch live carrier rates or look up tax rates for you, or keep separate test keys for staging. The details and workarounds are below.
Payment providers that are coming soon
Not available yet. You can connect Stripe, PayPal, Mollie, Razorpay, Square, Paddle and CoinGate today, and turn on Cash on Delivery. These providers are shown in TeleportHQ as Coming Soon and can't be connected:
- Adyen
- Checkout.com
- Paystack
- Flutterwave
- PayU
- Fiserv
- Antom
In the Add Payment Provider panel, you can tell TeleportHQ which provider you want: under Payment Providers Coming Soon, click Notify Me When Available.
Also good to know: you connect every provider by pasting its API keys. There's no "Sign in with Stripe" connection. See How to accept payments with Stripe or PayPal.
What each payment provider can't do
The live providers differ in what their own terms and systems allow:
- Paddle sells digital products and software only, never physical goods or gift cards.
- CoinGate isn't offered for gift cards. Its refunds are issued from the CoinGate dashboard, not from the order in TeleportHQ.
- Subscriptions: Square and CoinGate can't give a free trial. PayPal and Mollie can't cancel at the end of the billing period: a cancellation takes effect at once. Mollie can't pause a subscription. See How to sell subscriptions and manage subscribers.
Importing products directly from another platform
Not available yet. In the Import Products panel, the platform connections for Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce, Squarespace, Square and Ecwid are marked Coming Soon. Products can't be pulled in from your payment provider account either.
What works today: import from a file. Export your products from the other platform as a CSV or JSON file and upload it. A Shopify product export works as it is, including variants. See How to import products from a file (including Shopify).
Live carrier rates and automatic tax rates
Not available. TeleportHQ shipping zones charge the prices you set: a flat rate, a rate by order total or a rate by weight, per group of countries. The store doesn't fetch live rates from carriers such as UPS, DHL or FedEx at checkout. See How to charge different shipping prices by country (shipping zones).
Tax works the same way: you enter each country's or region's rate in Shipping & Tax Regions, and the checkout charges the buyer's rate. TeleportHQ doesn't look the rates up for you. Paddle, which sells as the merchant of record, handles sales tax itself. See How to set up invoices and VAT for your store.
Separate test keys for staging
Not available. Each project uses one set of keys per provider for every publish, staging included. You can't use test keys on a staging site and live keys on production. To test, use test keys, then switch to live keys before you open the store. See How to test payments before going live.
Other limits to know
These TeleportHQ store features exist, with limits:
- Product variants. Up to 3 options per product (for example Size, Color and Material), and up to 500 combinations. See How to add sizes, colors and other variants.
- Product discounts. One discount can be active per product at a time. You can schedule several with dates that don't overlap.
- Abandoned cart reminders and reviews work only for signed-in shoppers.
- Google Shopping syncs when you click Sync products now, or Google re-reads your product feed link on its own schedule.
- 3D models generated from a product photo are marked Soon. You can upload a .glb file or pick a free model.
- Code download. A store project is a web app, so its code can't be downloaded.
- Activations. A project can turn e-commerce on up to 10 times.
