Shopify Payments alternatives
Shopify cut you off?
Keep your store selling.
Losing Shopify Payments doesn’t necessarily mean losing your Shopify store. We help ecommerce merchants evaluate alternative payment providers, navigate merchant account applications, and plan their transition.
Provider availability and approval depend on your business, location and processing history.
The problem
Your store is still there.
Your payment processing isn’t.
A processor shutdown can stop revenue even while your site, fulfillment and customer demand keep running normally.
Lost payment acceptance
Customers can’t check out
Customers can’t complete purchases using the disabled provider.
Limited alternatives
It’s hard to know who fits
It isn’t always obvious which processors support your industry, location and Shopify configuration.
Migration complexity
The switch has moving parts
Checkout settings, subscriptions, stored cards, transaction fees and underwriting requirements can complicate the move.

01 · Tell us
Tell us what happened
Share your website, processing volume, industry and the notice you received from Shopify.
02 · Review
Review processing options
We assess which provider types may be appropriate, including underwriting, compatibility and commercial requirements.
03 · Prepare
Prepare the transition
Once a suitable provider has approved the business, we coordinate the next steps to restore or diversify payment acceptance.
You may not need to leave Shopify
Keep your storefront.
Replace the provider.
Shopify supports third-party payment providers in eligible configurations. Depending on your store, you may be able to keep using Shopify while processing card payments through an alternative provider. We help you evaluate that path before considering a larger platform migration.
Available providers, Shopify plan restrictions, transaction fees and subscription compatibility vary by merchant.
