How do I choose the best payment gateway for my online store?

Good evening,

Just looking for some sort of advice we are currently a online store and are wanting to add our Vape and liquid products to our site but obviously we can’t use shopify payments as our gateway so just looking for some suggestions that we could easily integrate into our store to sell these vape products - UK based

Thanks

Authorize.net, PayPal, and PayEezy – would be good options to look into.

Hi there,

Since you’re based in the UK and selling vape and e-liquid products, Shopify Payments won’t work for you because these items fall under restricted or high-risk categories. In this case, you’ll need a third-party payment gateway that accepts these types of products.

Recommended Option: WallidPay

WallidPay is a great alternative for UK-based stores selling high-risk products like vape and e-liquids. Here’s why:

  • Supports vape and restricted categories

  • Easy Shopify integration

  • Works with UK LTDs — no UK residency needed

  • Accepts Wise, Payoneer, and UK business accounts for payouts

  • Fast approval process and responsive support

WallidPay gives you the flexibility to run your store without violating Shopify’s payment policies. Definitely worth checking out if you’re serious about scaling your vape business.

Let me know if you’d like help setting it up or have any other questions!
