A UAE-based small business selling to US customers on Shopify cannot find a BNPL provider that supports non-US business registration.

Popular BNPL providers like Klarna, Afterpay, and Affirm require a US business entity or bank account, which a UAE-registered business does not have. Shop Pay Installments may also be restricted to US-based Shopify stores.
