App reviews, troubleshooting, and recommendations
I came across an advertisement for checkify.pro by chance. This app claims it can help me customize my checkout page. What surprises me more is that it says it can save me 1% on the fees charged by third - party payment gateways on Shopify. Is this true? I mean, if it's legal, won't this infringe on Shopify's interests? Obviously, Shopify will receive less in fees as a result.
Hi @NEO2025
Yes, Checkify is a legitimate Shopify app. It’s designed to help store owners customize their checkout pages, which can improve customer experience and potentially boost conversion rates. However, regarding the claim that it can save 1% on third-party payment gateway fees, there are some important considerations to clarify.
Shopify charges an additional transaction fee (ranging from 0.5% to 2%, depending on your plan) for using third-party payment gateways instead of Shopify Payments. If an app claims to reduce or bypass these fees, it's worth being cautious. Shopify has strict rules in place, and apps that violate these policies could be removed or lead to issues with your store.
From what I’ve seen, Checkify focuses on providing tools for checkout customization. It doesn’t bypass Shopify’s fee structure directly but may improve checkout efficiency, which could lead to indirect savings. Any claims about saving on Shopify's fees should be carefully reviewed, as such claims might be misleading or violate Shopify’s terms.
If an app manipulates payment processes to reduce Shopify fees, it could potentially conflict with Shopify’s terms of service. This could result in penalties, including Shopify restricting or suspending your store. Always ensure the app complies with Shopify’s policies before integrating it into your store.
If you’re seriously considering Checkify, I’d recommend:
