Is Melio free to use with Shopify integration?

[Moni25]

Can I use Melio on Shopify for free? I am considering the utilization of Shopify Bill Pay enriched by Melio to control payment of invoices to vendors. Will I incur extra expenses in terms of subscription when I integrate and sign up or there are charges for using certain payment options?

HI @Moni25 ,

What’s Free with Shopify Bill Pay (via Melio)

• • No monthly subscription fee to use Shopify Bill Pay.

  • Free payments when using:

    • Bank transfer (ACH) from your U.S. bank account to your vendor’s U.S. bank account.

    • Check by mail - Free (Melio sends it)

What’s Not Free (Fees May Apply)

Depending on the payment method you choose, you may incur transaction fees:

Debit card - Usually 2.9%

Credit card - Typically 2.9%

So yes, you can use Melio on Shopify for free — just stick to bank transfers or mailed checks if you want to avoid fees.

Melio is an authentic B2B payment platform that has numerous features such as free ACH transfers, and accounting software integration. It is also well financed and has been taken over by Xero.

how much does Melio cost? is there any Melio free trial with shopify?

@Moni25 

The free package of Melio comprises 10 monthly free ACH transfers whereby additional ones cost $0. 50; other fees include 2. 9% for credit card, 1% for same day ACH (capped at $30), $1. 50 for checks (after 2 free ones), as well as $20 on international transactions.

— Available at approximately $55 monthly are the paid packages called Core and Boost, for which you will need to obtain a quote from Melio.

— It’s possible to get Shopify Bill Pay at zero cost if using Melio for installation only and without any monthly charges, but there will be some expenses related to transactions such as those on credit cards at 2. 9%.

— Shopify does not have any specified free trial for Melio on its platform but provides customers with an opportunity to try out their system during a 3-day trial period, which can be extended up to 90 days by paying an extra fee of one dollar per month for Bill Pay service included in this offer.

@Moni25

There are no subscription or sign-up fees for using Shopify Bill Pay that is facilitated by Melio.

Payments made through Shopify Balance or standard ACH transfers are free apart from those made via credit card which attract 2. 9% fee; also, posting more than two checks in a month will cost $1. 50 each.

Extra charges may be incurred for expedited ACH/checks or international payments.

To know the exact limits and costs, check in your Shopify’s admin or contact Melio’s support.
