Shop Pay (formerly 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 150million registered users worldwide.[1]
History
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 2024, Shop Pay expanded to other commerce platforms and no longer required businesses to be on Shopify to use it.[6]
In 2025, Shopify set foot on the ground in many countries across the European Union, showing their commitment to the region.[7][8] The same year, Shop Pay was made available in 15 additional European countries.[9]

Accelerated Checkout
Shop Pay's main service is accelerated checkout, which allows users to save their email, credit card, shipping, and billing information for one-click checkout experiences across Shopify-powered stores and other partner platforms. Shop Pay relies on a payments processing service, such as Shopify Payments, or other payment providers, to process these transactions.[10]
Shop Cash is Shop's rewards program, which gives customers who check out using Shop Pay 1% back. Shop Cash can be spent only on the Shop app or website.[14]
