Benefits of Shopify Payments for Bulgarian Merchants
Accept Payments in Bulgarian Lev (BGN)
For the first time, Bulgarian merchants can accept and settle transactions in BGN — with payouts sent to local bank accounts.
Eliminate Platform Surcharges
Using Stripe or PayPal previously triggered 1–2% platform fees. Shopify Payments removes this cost by offering native processing.
Accelerated Checkout Experience
Enable Shop Pay, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — boosting mobile conversions and reducing friction.
All-in-One Shopify Integration
Manage payouts, refunds, and disputes directly from the Shopify dashboard — no third-party tools required.
Compliant by Default
Includes 3D Secure, PCI DSS, and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) to meet EU fintech standards.
What Merchants Used Before Shopify Payments
- myPOS – popular for POS and online processing, but required external tools
- Stripe – didn’t support BGN natively
- PayPal – widely used but expensive and non-localized
- Bank transfers & COD – still prevalent, but manual and outdated
These solutions introduced payment friction, inconsistent UX, and extra costs — now replaced by Shopify Payments’ simplicity and scale.
