How to integrate Stripe payment method in my online store?

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

A UK-based Shopify store owner is attempting to integrate Stripe as a payment method but encountering access issues.

Key Points:

  • Initial suggestions included following Shopify’s official Stripe integration guide and contacting Shopify support directly.

  • Critical limitation identified: Stripe is not available as a payment gateway option for UK-based Shopify stores where Shopify Payments is the default provider.

  • Shopify Payments offers several advantages including no transaction fees, Shop Pay integration, competitive rates, and automated chargeback handling.

Resolution Path:

  • The store owner can file a formal request through Shopify’s Help Centre to use Stripe if there’s a specific business requirement (not just preference) that Shopify Payments cannot fulfill.

  • An alternative third-party solution was suggested to enable broader Stripe payment method support regardless of store location.

Status: The discussion remains open with the store owner needing to either adopt Shopify Payments or submit a business case for Stripe access.

Hi there @sanjeevkamboj !

It looks like you’re still setting up your store before launch, can you tell me a bit more about your business?

The payment gateway providers available for use in a store will depend on where in the world that store is located.

If you can confirm in which country your store is based, we can share a list of gateway providers available there so you can browse your options in this regard.

Hi again @sanjeevkamboj !

Thanks for confirming that for me.

You can check out the full list of payment gateways available for use with your Shopify store in the UK here.

As you’ll see there, Stripe is not among the available choices listed where Shopify Payments is available.

There are many business benefits to using Shopify Payments with your Shopify store, including:

  • Shop Pay
  • No transaction fees
  • Competitive processing rates In-house support
  • Financial reports
  • Detailed Payout Information
  • Automated chargeback handling
  • High transaction approval rates

That said, if you have a specific business requirement (rather than a personal preference) for being able to use Stripe where Shopify Payments is available, you can file a request to use this gateway via our Help Centre here.

Just let us know there the business needs you have that would not be met by using Shopify Payments so we can improve our service and review your situation.
