Why Is Stripe Not on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 8:00 pm

As a business owner, you’re always looking for ways to streamline your operations and make things run more smoothly. That’s why you’re interested in using Shopify as your ecommerce platform.

But you’ve noticed that one of the most popular payment processors, Stripe, is not available as a payment option on Shopify. Why is this?

PRO TIP: If you are using Shopify to sell online, you may have noticed that there is no option to use Stripe as a payment gateway. This is because Shopify has decided not to support Stripe.

While there are other payment gateway options available on Shopify, Stripe is one of the most popular and user-friendly options available. If you are used to using Stripe, not having it available on Shopify can be a frustrating experience.

We recommend that you reach out to Shopify support and let them know that you would like to see Stripe added as a payment gateway option. In the meantime, you can continue to use Stripe by using one of the many Stripe apps available on the Shopify App Store.

There are a few reasons why Stripe is not available on Shopify. First, Shopify has its own built-in payment processing system called Shopify Payments.

This system is integrated with Shopify’s platform and makes it easy for customers to checkout with their credit or debit card. Second, Shopify has partnered with other popular payment processors like PayPal and Authorize.net. And third, because Shopify is a hosted platform, it doesn’t allow for customizations like adding Stripe as a payment option.

So if you’re looking to use Stripe as your payment processor, you’ll need to find another ecommerce platform that supports it. We recommend checking out WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Magento. All three of these platforms allow you to integrate Stripe and give you more control over your payments.
