The easiest and safest way to receive payments in your online store
If you have an online store or are thinking about opening one, this news will interest you: Shopify Payments Mexico is officially available today. This means that, from now on, entrepreneurs and business owners in Mexico will be able to manage their collections and payments directly on the Shopify platform itself, without needing to use external payment gateways.
In this article, we'll tell you everything you need to know about Shopify Payments in our country, its advantages, and how to set it up to take your business to the next level.
What is Shopify Payments?
Shopify Payments is Shopify's native payment gateway. With this feature, online store owners can accept payments from credit, debit, and other local payment methods, all integrated into their Shopify admin. This results in a streamlined experience for both merchants and customers:
• You don’t need to hire third-party payment services.
• You'll be able to see sales, reports, and commissions in one place.
• Your customers will have a smoother and more secure payment process.
With the official arrival of Shopify Payments Mexico , the country's e-commerce market has received a significant boost, facilitating digital transactions and increasing consumer confidence.
Why is Shopify Payments' arrival in Mexico important?

Optimized shopping experience
The checkout process becomes faster and more secure, reducing cart abandonment and improving customer satisfaction.
-
Direct integration with your store
With Shopify Payments, sales, refund, and collection reports are managed from the Shopify dashboard. This makes accounting and managing your business easier.

Competitive commissions
Transaction fees are often very competitive compared to other options, which can translate into higher profit margins for merchants.
Shopify Payments vs. Stripe: What's Changed?

What's changed is that you no longer need to manage accounts and settings separately in Stripe. With Shopify Payments:
• You can control everything from a single dashboard.
• You'll have direct support from Shopify for any payment issues.
