I just had a customer experience lots of difficulty in checking out on my website using Afterpay, which has been integrated with my website for well over a year, now. She started by shopping on our store via the Afterpay app on her phone, then entered the checkout, when Shop Pay sent her a code to e…

we have a similar issue- Shop takes over and won’t show all the shipping rates or payment options. Any help would be great.

Yes, we’re starting to field complaints from customers experiencing the same issue - did anyone find a solution?

Unfortunately, no. It’s not in Shopify’s interest to get this resolved so they apparently ignored it.

Thanks @Mary_Spinelli , we might’ve figured this out and think it’s because of they way Shop Pay doesn’t make it obvious that you can switch from a CC to AfterPay etc. See the circles in red in the examples attached, if a customers verifies via Shop Pay, they should see either ‘Card’ or ‘Payment’. …

Unfortunately, despite assurances from Shopify, the customer we were helping (and made the screenshot for) still couldn’t select AfterPay from: Payment > Alternative payment methods. Have also asked AfterPay so maybe you’re right, Shop Pay does block AfterPay. So frustrating.

When you get to payment. Shop pay will pop up to enter the code sent to your number. Do not enter the code, close the pop up and you’ll see other payment options. Such as enter your card, after pay.

Thanks but the main problem is that customers are totally confused - we get regular emails about this now which means many more are simply leaving our site. Some people don’t even think we accept VISA! They think the accelerated checkout buttons (shopay, Apple Pay etc) are the only payment methods …

Yes, That’s correct. As a shop owner, I know to do that. But customers do not realize that their order is being taken over by ShopPay and they just follow the instructions and enter the code.

No, I haven’t found a solution yet. I ended up using Shop pay and now when I found this, I realuze I wasn’t supposed to do that. I couldn’t understand why it just kept showing shop pay inside the after pay app. I really wanted my order, and it was just over $70.00, so I will hopefully find the answe…

I’m having the exact same problem. It’s creating chaos with customers either leaving our checkout because they cannot figure out how to order via AfterPay or placing orders with ShopPay in error and then ringing us asking for refunds.

Same issue, three years later, shame on Shopify.

On our site our conversion rate dropped by over 60%.

Removed Shoppay and conversions went back up.
