Before Shopify Payments: Payment Alternatives in Mexico
Merchants previously relied on:

- Mercado Pago (wallet-based)
- Stripe (required custom setup)
- PayPal (mostly for cross-border)
While functional, these methods often lacked full Shopify integration and triggered extra fees. Shopify Payments now simplifies this with native, local support.
