How to Set Up Payment Infrastructure on Shopify

You’ve launched your e-commerce store on Shopify, but wondering how to receive payments from customers? A reliable payment setup is essential for completing sales and delivering a seamless customer experience. Here’s a step-by-step guide to effectively configuring payment methods on Shopify:

  • Under “Shopify Payments,” click Set Up Account
  • Fill in your business details (tax ID, bank account information) and submit
  • Choose the card types you want to accept (Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, etc.)

In addition to Shopify Payments, you can integrate other providers like PayPal, Stripe, or local methods such as Papara or PayTR (Turkey):

  • Under the Payments section, go to Third-Party Providers
  • Select the provider you want to connect (e.g., PayPal)
  • Enter required API keys or account details to complete the integration

Tip: To improve customer satisfaction, offer at least 2–3 payment options (e.g., credit card + PayPal + bank transfer).

Cash on Delivery (COD):

  • Go to Manual Payment Methods > Enable Cash on Delivery
  • Add custom instructions and any additional fees if applicable

Bank Transfer:

  • 3D Secure: Enable “Require 3D Secure” to reduce the risk of credit card fraud

5. Testing Your Payment System

To make sure everything works correctly:

  • Place a test order with dummy payment information
  • Check order status and notifications under the Orders section
