Hi @Soyliart,

Thanks so much for your question! May I ask which payment gateway you are looking to activate? 

Every Shopify account has a unique Shop ID, which some payment providers will ask for when you're first creating your account. If you are your store's Account Owner, you are welcome to reach out to our support team to request your Shop ID at any time. To do so, you'll visit our Help Center, log in to your account, enter a topic into the search field, and choose Get support. 

From here, our guide Configuring third-party payment providers reviews the steps to connect your payment gateway to your Shopify account (via Settings > Payments > Third-party providers) so that you can begin accepting credit card payments. 

In regards to any "secret key" (sometimes called a "merchant key" or "login ID") that we'll request at this step, this will be provided by your third-party payment provider, upon creation of your account. If you have any difficulty locating this detail, you can log in to your payment provider account and/or contact their team for guidance. 

Of course, please don't hesitate to let me know if you run into any questions or challenges!
