Криптошлюзы для Shopify

Why this list is shorter than the WooCommerce one#

Because eight indexed providers name Shopify among their published integrations, against eighteen for WooCommerce. This page does not pad the list with providers that could be connected through a third-party app, because a connection somebody else maintains is not an integration the provider stands behind.

The gap between the two numbers is the finding. Crypto acceptance on Shopify is a thinner market than the search volume suggests, and a merchant planning around the same choice they would have on WordPress should know that before designing the project.

The constraint is Shopify, not the providers#

Shopify controls what can act as a payment method at its checkout, and alternative payment providers integrate on terms Shopify sets. That is why plugin coverage that is routine on WooCommerce is scarce here, and it is not something a provider can decide unilaterally.

The practical consequence is that some crypto acceptance on Shopify happens beside the checkout rather than inside it, through a hosted invoice the customer is sent to. That works and it is a different customer experience, and worth deciding on deliberately.

What to check before committing#

Whether the integration places crypto inside the Shopify checkout or alongside it, and what the order shows in your admin either way. Reconciliation is the part that bites, and it depends entirely on which of those two shapes you get.

Whether refunds can be issued from the Shopify admin or require the provider dashboard. The refunds guide covers why crypto refunds are outgoing payments rather than reversals, which complicates any admin that assumes otherwise.

The alternative shapes worth considering#

A hosted payment button beside the normal checkout, covered in the button list, which most providers here support and which needs no platform cooperation at all.

Or moving the crypto-paying part of your business to a store you control. That is a large answer to a small question and it is the honest one for a merchant whose crypto volume justifies it, since the WooCommerce list has eighteen providers with maintained plugins against this page’s eight.

What this page will not do#

Recommend a third-party app. Payment apps sit in the checkout path, and one maintained by neither Shopify nor the payment provider is a dependency with nobody accountable for it.

Nor will it claim a provider supports Shopify because a support article mentions the word. The criterion here is a published integration, applied the same way as everywhere else in this index, and it produces eight names rather than the twenty a search result will promise you. The methodology page sets out the rule.

Who is on the list, and what separates them#

A couple of them publish no rate at all, which removes them from any comparison made on cost. Of the rest, Bitnovo Pay leads at a stated 0.95% with euro settlement into a bank account, PassimPay publishes 0.5% processing alongside 0.2% conversion, and Aurpay publishes a flat 0.8%.

The other three are structurally different rather than cheaper. BTCPay Server charges nothing and runs on your own server, DePay routes payments straight to a wallet you control across ten chains, and Coinsnap takes Bitcoin and Lightning only. None of the three is a drop-in replacement for a card processor, and each is the right answer for a specific kind of store.

Settlement is where Shopify merchants get caught#

A Shopify store is usually run by somebody whose accounting is in one currency and whose supplier invoices arrive in it too. A provider that settles crypto into your own wallet leaves you holding a position and a conversion job that nobody on the team owns.

Some of these convert and pay out in bank currency; the rest do not. Establish which shape you are buying before the integration rather than after the first month-end, because the answer determines whether crypto acceptance adds a payment method or a treasury function.

What the order record has to contain#

Whatever the integration shape, the Shopify order needs to carry enough to reconcile against a bank statement or a wallet history: the asset received, the amount in that asset, the rate applied, and the provider reference. Some integrations write all four into order notes and some write a transaction identifier and nothing else.

Ask to see a completed test order in the Shopify admin before committing, not a screenshot of the checkout. The checkout is the part every provider demos and the order record is the part you will live with every month.

Test the refund path first, not last#

Refunds are where a beside-the-checkout integration hurts most. Shopify expects to issue a refund against the original payment, and a crypto payment taken outside its payment flow has no original payment for it to reverse.

That leaves a manual outgoing transfer plus a manual adjustment in the admin, which is workable at low volume and unpleasant at high volume. Run one refund end to end during evaluation and time it, because that number is the real cost of the integration shape you have chosen.
