The general point for stomach pain is Sto. 36, 35. Sp. 6 and 9.
The acupuncture points to treat heavily depend on the correct diagnosis. Without more specific information it is difficult to diagnose appropriately. But there is a cure-all acupuncture point, I believe the most common and famous that can help with stomach issues as well. It is called He Gu (large intestine 4) and is located between the webbing of the first (index) finger & thumb.
With a stomach issue, you may notice that the metacarpal bone may be most tender in the middle; that should be the area to focus on. But please see your primary or let a professional at least diagnose what may be going on. Of course if the situation becomes emergent or worsens. call 911.

ST36,ST44, and LI4
It's best to have a gastroscopy first.
If you have chart notes points for acupuncture, you can press on ST36 for 2-3 min. on both sides and LI4 for the same amount of time to relieve pain. You can do this a couple of times a day. I recommend coming in for an acupuncture visit.
Please google stomach 44 and large intestine 4 points for location. These are two good points for stomach pain. However, you want to find out what foods are triggering this. Please avoid acidic foods and deep fried or greasy foods. Dr. Miura
I do acupuncture, not acupressure but there are multiple point prescriptions for stomach pain it’s not a singular point. And the prescription changes due to various things. I would need to do a full intake on you before knowing which points to treat.

Try to do acupressure on LI4, LR3, and PC6 for 20 seconds.
I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief. There are many reasons for stomach pain. And many points to help with stomach pain.
Stomach 36 located on the shin is probably your #1 stomach pain point. Look it up and check it out!

I don't press points... I put needles in them unless the patient just can't possibly relax. Stomach is a really vague term for most Americans that means abdominal pain and doesn't give me much to go on. So my advice is, to find a professional to do a comprehensive intake and formulate a treatment plan based on that.
Stomach 34 is for acute stomach pain, but I would recommend omitting raw foods, gluten, cow milk products, alcohol, spicy and/or greasy food and add in lots of broth soups, steamed veggies, root vegetables, licorice tea, papaya (natural digestive enzymes) and a pinch of lacto fermented foods like kimchi before each meal.
For stomach pain, you can press sou san li (LI 10), Neiguan (PC6), Zongwan (CV12), Jianli (CV11), Qihai (CV6), Zusanli (ST36).
There is no one point for stomach pain. I suggest you contact an acupuncturist and make an appointment.
There is no one point for stomach pain. The point or points that might be used are going to be completely dependent on why, from the perspective of Chinese medicine, you're experiencing stomach pain.
If you've had severe pain for several days, I strongly suggest starting with your primary care physician. There are a handful of GI issues you could be experiencing which would cause pain like this and may require surgical or other intervention rather than Chinese medicine.
