Develop custom Payment method with Low-code

Hey everyone,

I’m currently working on developing a custom payment method that specifically caters to South American customers of US-based merchants. I’m considering using a low-code development environment like Flutterflow for this project.

Does anyone have experience or insights on whether it’s feasible to use Flutterflow (or similar low-code platforms) to create a Shopify app? I found this guide on using the Shopify CLI for offsite payments https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/payments/offsite/use-the-cli, but I’m wondering if integrating low-code tools into this process is possible or advisable.

Any advice or experiences you can share would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Steve,

For context, to build a payments app you will need to meet these requirements. The API endpoints will not be accessible to partners until they are approved by our internal team.

Hey Liam,

Thanks for the help—I’ve successfully ‘built’ a development app!

I have another question regarding monetization: How can I monetize the payment method I’m developing? Specifically, is it possible to add a percentage fee for the service and a monthly subscription? I’m also trying to understand the “Unlock 0% revenue sharing (15% on additional sales over $1 million USD annually)” model—how does this apply to a payment method app?

Additionally, as I’m going through the requirements, I’m having difficulty finding information on how to add the new custom payment method that I’m developing. (Scratch the low-code question I asked earlier)

The following link provides guidance on building an app/plugin for the store, but doesn’t address how to add a new custom payment method that a merchant can use for their customers. Could you point me in the right direction?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Best regards,
