Does Shopify Have Their Own Payment Gateway?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 5:24 am

Shopify is a Canadian e-commerce company headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario. It is also the name of its proprietary e-commerce platform for online stores and retail point-of-sale systems. Shopify offers online retailers a suite of services “including payments, shipping, marketing, customer engagement, and more”.

Shopify was founded in 2004 by Tobias Lütke, Daniel Weinand, and Scott Lake after attempting to open Snowdevil, an online store for snowboarding equipment. Lütke was originally a computer programmer who switched to e-commerce after his snowboarding equipment business became too time-consuming.

PRO TIP: Shopify does not have their own payment gateway, and using Shopify without a payment gateway is not recommended.Shopify is an ecommerce platform that allows you to create an online store. In order to take payments for your products or services, you will need to use a payment gateway. Without a payment gateway, you will not be able to take payments through your Shopify store. There are many different payment gateways available, and you should select one that is compatible with Shopify. Using a Shopify-compatible payment gateway will ensure that your payments are processed smoothly and efficiently.

Shopify launched its platform in June 2006. In 2010, Shopify started its own payment gateway called “Shopify Payments” (formerly known as “Fetch”).

Conclusion: Yes, Shopify has their own payment gateway called “Shopify Payments.”
