Custom payments method

Topic summary

A user on Shopify’s Basic Plan wants to offer installment payments but cannot edit checkout code (a feature restricted to higher-tier plans). Their bank lacks a dedicated Shopify app, prompting them to seek manual setup options.

Potential workaround suggested:

  • Use a custom payment method combined with an app or manual checkout instructions
  • Depends on whether the bank provides an external payment link or installment gateway (e.g., pay-later invoice)

Current status: Discussion remains open, awaiting more details about the bank’s available payment infrastructure to explore viable solutions.

Hey! Yeah, the checkout limitation on the Basic plan can definitely be a blocker.

Quick question does your bank offer any kind of external payment link or installment system (like a pay-later invoice or external gateway)? If so, there might be a workaround using a custom payment method + an app or manual instructions at checkout.

I’ve seen a few setups like that work — just depends a bit on how your bank handles it. Happy to dig into it with you if you can share a few more details!
