Shopify Payments Croatia: Accept EUR Locally and Scale Globally
Accept Local Payments with Speed, Security, and Scale
Shopify Payments has officially launched in Croatia, giving merchants the ability to manage payments natively within Shopify — no third-party integrations, no added platform fees, and full support for the Euro (EUR).
As one of the newest Eurozone countries and a growing ecommerce hub in the Balkans, Croatia is now perfectly positioned to benefit from a streamlined, scalable checkout experience powered by Shopify — and implemented by Power Commerce.
Croatia’s Ecommerce Momentum
- Croatia adopted the Euro (EUR) in 2023
- Ecommerce market value: over €1.4 billion and rising
- High credit card usage and mobile commerce adoption
- Popular segments: travel, fashion, electronics
- Increasing cross-border ecommerce activity
With Shopify Payments now available, Croatian merchants can eliminate past checkout limitations and deliver a modern, seamless payment experience.
Benefits of Shopify Payments for Croatian Merchants
Accept Payments in Euros (EUR)
Merchants can now accept payments and receive payouts in Euros — fully aligned with Croatia’s new national currency.
No More Shopify Surcharges
Say goodbye to Shopify’s 1–2% fees for external gateways. Shopify Payments processes transactions natively without extra cost.
Faster Checkout with Shop Pay & Wallets
Enable Shop Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay for fast, frictionless checkout — improving mobile UX and boosting conversions.
Payouts to Croatian Bank Accounts
Receive funds in EUR directly to your Croatian IBAN, typically within 3 business days.
All-in-One Admin & Reporting
Manage payments, refunds, and chargebacks inside Shopify — no external dashboards required.
Built-In Security & EU Compliance
Includes full PCI DSS, 3D Secure, and SCA compliance — out of the box.
Common Payment Tools Used in Croatia (Before Shopify Payments)
- WSPay, T-Com PayWay, CorvusPay — local Croatian gateways
- Stripe — limited localization
- PayPal — popular for cross-border buyers
- Cash on Delivery (COD) — still common in certain sectors
These tools added operational overhead, lacked full Shopify integration, and triggered Shopify’s extra transaction fees. Shopify Payments brings everything in-house with better performance and fewer costs.
