Shop Pay (also known as Shop, and formerly known as Shopify Pay) is a checkout and payment method developed by Shopify. The service allows users to securely store shipping and billing information in their Shop account, enabling one-click checkouts across online stores that offer Shop Pay.
Shop Pay relies on a payments processing service, such as Shopify Payments (the default option) or another payment provider, to process transactions.
As of 2024, Shop Pay had over 150 million registered users worldwide.[1]
History
[edit]In April 2017, Shopify announced the checkout feature called Shopify Pay.[2] Later that same year, the company announced a new package tracking app, Arrive, which tracked customer orders from brands on the platform and other online shopping sources.[3]
Early in 2020, a rebranded Shop Pay button appeared on participating checkouts; later that spring, Arrive was rebranded as Shop.[4][5]
In February 2021, Shop Pay expanded to merchants selling on Facebook and Instagram, becoming available outside Shopify's own checkout for the first time.[6]
In 2025, Shopify started operating in the countries of the European Union.[7][8] The same year, Shop Pay was made available in 15 additional European countries.[9]
