Shopify alternative — questions
Can I keep my Shopify store if Shopify Payments blocks me?+
Yes. Shopify allows approved third-party gateways. We provide a compliant high-risk merchant account and a compatible gateway that plugs into your existing Shopify checkout, so you keep the storefront.
Why did Shopify Payments disable my payments?+
Shopify Payments runs on an aggregator that prohibits many high-risk categories. When your products are flagged, payments can be disabled even though the store stays up. A dedicated gateway solves the payment side.
Are there extra Shopify fees for third-party gateways?+
Shopify may apply a third-party transaction fee on some plans. Our team walks you through the total cost so there are no surprises.
How fast is onboarding?+
Same-day decisions are typical, and applying is free with no credit pull.
