I was just googling–something about their share price falling from $2.00
to $0.60 today…Zip was supposed to acquire them, so maybe Zip will be the
new platform?
Topic summary
Uncertainty over whether Sezzle (a BNPL—buy now, pay later—provider) will be unavailable on Shopify stores after July 31, 2022. Multiple merchants see notices that Sezzle—and possibly other payment plans—will be removed, raising concerns about lost sales from customers who use Sezzle/Klarna.
Speculation centers on Shopify favoring its own Shop Pay Installments (powered by Affirm) and broader market issues (Sezzle’s share price drop, Zip’s planned acquisition), but no official rationale is confirmed in the thread.
Concrete update: A Sezzle in-app pop-up (screenshot provided) says the Shopify app must be updated by the end of the month. One merchant completed the update and reports Sezzle still works, pending what happens after the 30th.
Action items:
- Log into Sezzle and follow the Shopify update instructions to keep the integration working.
- Clarify with Sezzle/Shopify if you missed the June update deadline and whether a bypass is possible.
Status: No confirmed decision or official communication from Shopify in this discussion; outcome after July 31 remains unresolved. Key question: Will Sezzle and other BNPL options remain supported post-deadline?
