Hi, what if we subscribe for Advanced Shopify package? do they allow us to integrate with backend API? As i also wish to migrate my Wordpress web site (with FPX payment) to Shopify platform, hope to be able to bring over the customization too. Thanks!
Topic summary
Malaysian Shopify merchants seek to integrate FPX (direct bank transfer) payment through Stripe, but face a technical barrier: Shopify’s native Stripe integration only supports credit/debit cards, not FPX.
The Core Problem:
- FPX integration requires custom server-side and client-side development
- Non-technical merchants cannot implement this themselves
- Both Stripe and Shopify redirect responsibility to each other when contacted
Workarounds Adopted:
- Using Billplz as a secondary payment provider specifically for FPX (prepaid, requires top-up)
- Running dual payment systems: Stripe for cards + Billplz for FPX
- Users report this dual setup works smoothly with no major technical issues
Current Status (as of 2022):
- No native Shopify solution exists
- Community members recommend emailing Shopify support to demonstrate demand
- A potential third-party solution emerged in late posts via video tutorials and LinkedIn article for Stripe FPX/GrabPay integration
Key Recommendation: Merchants either hire Shopify developers for custom integration or use Billplz alongside Stripe as an interim solution.
