Hi

i am planning to use a third party checkout (like gokwik, shopflo) on my shopify store. A lot of shopify sites (like justherbs.in etc.) are seemingly using them to bypass shopify transaction costs without any issues

my questions are

  1. Do I need special permission to use these checkout apps as they are not on shopify app store

  2. am I violating any terms of service by using these apps

  3. do I need to pay anything to shopify to use them as It appears I won’t be paying any per order transaction charges to shopify

Hi - Vlt_hello, bypassing the native Shopify Checkout is not permitted in the Terms of Service.

Thanks Liam. That is what I understood from section 4.6.

My question really is how are other shopify sites doing this.

Is there a way to get special permissions from shopify to make this possible

Almost all big shopify stores in India are now using a custom checkout and they are still online so I am assuming there has to be a way

I can list many such sites

justherbs.in

dermatouch.in

etc.

may be they developed their own payment app.
