Hello. Im developing an integration using Admin API and I have some doubts about how payments would work. As Shopify Pay/Payments don’t operate in my country, I’ll need to use a third party gateway. In Admin API there’s a very brief part about installments (orders->transactions ->paymentDetails → shopPayInstallmentsPaymentDetails) and I don’t know how it would work using third party gateways. Has someone developed something similar. Will Admin API provide payment/installments information correctly from those third party gateways? How would those installments work? How can I test an payment in installments?
AI-generated summary
Developer integrating via Shopify Admin API in a country without Shopify Payments seeks clarity on handling installment payments with a third‑party payment gateway.
Key questions:
- Will the Admin API surface installment/payment details from third‑party providers, or is it limited to Shop Pay Installments (e.g., orders > transactions > paymentDetails > shopPayInstallmentsPaymentDetails)?
- How are installments represented in transactions when using non‑Shopify gateways (data structure, fields, reconciliation)?
- How can installment payments be tested end‑to‑end (test modes/sandboxes) when Shopify Payments isn’t available?
Context: “Installments” refers to splitting a charge over multiple payments. Shop Pay Installments is a Shopify feature, but the integration must rely on a third‑party processor due to regional availability.
Status/outcome: No answers or guidance provided yet. The behavior of Admin API fields for third‑party installment data, supported mappings, and recommended testing approach remain open and unresolved.
