best payment processors for Shopify

TL;DR.

Don't have time to read my article? 😒. Ok...here are the best payment processors for your Shopify store👇:

  1. 1
    Shopify Payments.
  2. 2
    PayPal Express Checkout.

Best Payment Processor #1 - Shopify Payments.

The best payment processor (aka Payment Provider) is the one that makes it easy for your customer to buy from you. So make it easy for them by choosing Shopify Payments.

Why? 

  • Shopify Payments has all the major credit cards - VISA, MC, AMEX. Most people have one of these credit cards, right? - so you'll capture the overwhelming majority of your customers already.
  • Shopify Payments has Apple Pay, Shop Pay, Google Pay, and Meta (Facebook) Pay. Special people with the "blue text bubble" can use their Apple Pay seamlessly, which means less thought, and less friction in making a purchase. Same goes for Shop Pay - people who bought from a Shopify store in the past can use Shop Pay without entering their credit card details again. Listen, when people are entering their credit card details, the rational part of their brain kicks in and tries to talk them out of the purchase. You don't want that! Take away as much friction as you can from your customer and the purchase.
  • Shopify Payments lets your customer Buy Now Pay Later in installments, through Shop Pay. This is a great option for consumers living paycheck-to-paycheck. For example, people can't or won't pay for a $50 purchase, so they pay $12.50 per month in installments. lol. Yes, so this is a must too. Included in Shopify Payments already, so no extra work from you.
  • Shopify charges third party processing fees for not using Shopify Payments, so you're forced to use Shopify Payments. Don't fight it. Why pay another 2% or whatever extra to use a third party payment processor outside the Shopify network. It's part of the game - play it well.

How to add Shopify Payments to your Shopify Store: 

Click on Settings, which is located on the menu bar on the bottom left.
