The payment gateways here in my country also doesn't support this.

I can confirm that manual payment methods don't incur transaction fees, but I don't see how this is a solution. Effectively the customer does not do the payment right there and then and you have to email them a payment link or give them details on ho...

Sorry but this won't help at all...you want your customers to pay on your website when they place the order. If you set up manual payments you would have to make contact with the customer with instructions on how to make payment outside of Shopify, w...

Yeah unfortunately I moved all my shops to another platform as well and this ridiculous 2% transaction fee was the only reason. it makes no sense to pay a monthly Shopify subscription, plus 2% transaction fee on top of the 3-5% fees you already pay t...

Had a quick look at this and as far as I can see it's basically a custom checkout page that goes off Shopify. Could be a solution I guess, but not really an option in my country for example where we can not use Stripe.

Incorrect. This is still a 3rd party payment gateway and you will still pay 2% transaction fees.

I agree 100%, this is completely unacceptable, especially when Shopify pay is not available and using a third party provider is the only option. Personally I am busy testing a different platform and will migrate my shop away from Shopify soon because...

Unfortunately Shopify never acknowledges this problem, they just give generic answers like clearing cache ets...then it just suddenly starts working again after a day or two 

I'm familiar with the pricing, it doesn't answer my question though.

I have 2 Shopify stores, one was started in 2017 and one was started in 2023. Same country, same Basic shopify plan, same third party payment provider. On the shop that I started in 2017 Shopify has never charged any transaction fees in the 6 years t...

Same here, it mysteriously started working again around month end

Yes indeed, so I guess the only solution is to move away from Shopify. 

My primary payment gateway is Payfast, which most shops use in this country.  Their fees are 3-4%, so you can imagine what a tough pill it is to swallow to pay an additional 2% on top of that to Shopify as well. As a matter of interest, Shopify alter...
