It is without a doubt the strongest payment portal for Shopify, with support in 11 nations. Shopify Payments is pre-integrated with the shop and is incredibly simple to configure and use. If you use Shopify purchases on Shopify, Shopify will not charge you a tiny transaction fee but will still charge you the standard payment gateway transaction fee. However, there is a long list of stores that they do not accept. Additionally, if you do not use Shopify, you would be unable to use Shopify Payments. Click here for more information.

Tip 1 -Use more than one payment gateway

You can use several payment gateways to simplify the process for consumers and to include more options for your customers. Increased options equates to increased flexibility for the consumer and decreased pressure at the checkout. Paypal is an important payment portal since it is accessible in the majority of countries worldwide, allowing you to sell globally. Additionally, you can determine the target audience's preferred payment options and verify that the payment gateway supports them. 

Attention to the fees

Ensure that you thoroughly review the gateway's fee arrangement prior to making a long-term commitment.
