Payment types

Accept credit cards and mobile pay

Customers can pay for items in their online shopping cart using Visa, Mastercard, Amex or other credit cards in addition to mobile payment options like Amazon Pay, Apple Pay and PayPal.

If you want to get your ecommerce store set up in minutes, use PayPal to accept credit card payments. When you hit a high payment volume, you can easily upgrade to another payment gateway like Authorize.net or Stripe.

Payment gateways supported

Shopify integrates with over 100 online payment gateways. Use your existing gateway or select from our list to begin accepting payments. Learn about supported payment gateways.

Your currency, tax rates and language

Your store's online shopping cart is set up to use your local currency. It automatically calculates tax rates based on where your business and buyers are located.

You can also customize the checkout page into one of 50+ languages, or translate the shopping cart checkout page yourself. Existing shopping cart checkout languages include: Danish, Dutch, Spanish, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Chinese, Swedish, and others.

Easy shipping rate calculation

Set up rates for shipping your products based on product weight or prices. Alternatively, Advanced Shopify plan members can automatically calculate shipping rates from UPS, USPS or FedEx in real-time.

Automate shipping & fulfilment

Shopify connects with fulfillment services including Amazon Services, Shipwire, and Rakuten Super Logistics. These fulfilment services allow you to fill and ship orders from a warehouse with one click.

Mobile shopping cart

Shopify detects when a customer goes to the checkout using a mobile phone (iPhone, Android, Blackberry) and presents an optimized mobile shopping cart checkout.

Recover abandoned shopping carts

Shopify provides a list of email addresses of those that went to the checkout page, but never completed the purchase. Sending an email to those that abandoned their shopping cart can help you recover otherwise lost sales.

Free SSL certificate included

Your online store's shopping cart software includes an SSL certificate that uses industry standard 256-bit encryption technology. This is the same level of encryption used by large banks to keep your information secure.

Shopify provides a shared SSL certificate at no cost to all stores. Many other hosted ecommerce solutions will charge you hundreds of dollars every year for a SSL certificate.

Certified Level 1 PCI compliant

In order to accept Visa, Mastercard, and other credit cards, your shopping cart software and ecommerce hosting must be PCI compliant. Shopify is certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant. This compliance extends to all online stores powered by Shopify.

We are very serious about security and have invested significant time and money to certify that Shopify is PCI compliant. From annual on-site assessments validating compliance to continuous risk management, we work hard to keep credit card and other sensitive data secure.
