Why isn't Shop Pay appearing in my payment methods?

Topic summary

Main issue: Shop Pay isn’t showing as an accelerated checkout option on the storefront, so the merchant can’t activate it.

Latest guidance: Enable Shop Pay from the Shopify admin. Accelerated checkout means customers can pay faster using saved information.

If using Shopify Payments:

  • Go to Settings > Payments > Shopify Payments > Manage.
  • In the Shop Pay section, check Shop Pay, then Save.

If using a third-party payment provider:

  • Go to Settings > Payments > Third-party payment providers > Manage.
  • Check Enable Shop Pay, click Save.
  • Click Complete set up, then enter required store and banking details, and Save.

If the button still doesn’t appear, account-specific troubleshooting is required. The Community cannot access accounts; use the Help Center and ask the Virtual Shopify Assistant to connect you with live support.

Status: No confirmed resolution yet; awaiting the merchant’s results after trying these steps.
