Benefits of Shopify Payments for Czech Merchants
Accept Payments in CZK
Merchants can now charge customers and receive payouts in Czech koruna (CZK) — with no forced EUR conversions or external dependencies.
Eliminate Additional Shopify Fees
Shopify Payments removes the 1–2% surcharge applied to third-party payment gateways such as Stripe or PayPal.
Accelerate Checkout with Shop Pay
Enable Shop Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — reducing cart abandonment and improving mobile checkout speed and experience.
Fully Integrated Admin
Manage all payment operations, including refunds, disputes, and payouts, directly within the Shopify dashboard. No external logins required.
Built-in EU Security Compliance
Shopify Payments is compliant with PCI DSS, 3D Secure, and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) — without manual setup.
What Merchants Used Before Shopify Payments
Prior to this launch, Czech Shopify merchants often relied on:
- GoPay – popular but required manual integration
- ComGate – regional option with redirect-based checkout flows
- Stripe – functional, but triggered Shopify transaction fees
- PayPal – widely used internationally, but less trusted locally
- Bank transfers or COD (DOBÍRKA) – common for older customer segments
These tools worked but added complexity and reduced performance. Shopify Payments offers a modern, unified solution.
