Shop Pay

Shop Pay is an accelerated checkout that lets customers save their email address, credit card, and shipping and billing information. This can save your customers time when they check out, especially if they've already opted in to Shop Pay on any Shopify store. If your store offers a local pickup or delivery option, then customers can choose that option during checkout with Shop Pay.

A customer needs to enter an email address at checkout in order to save their payment information. Customers who only enter a phone number in the contact field aren't prompted to save their information. Learn more about accelerated checkouts.

The customer’s shipping and billing information is securely stored on Shopify’s PCI compliant servers and is only shared with your store if an order is placed. If your customers have questions about how Shop Pay works, or how their data is stored, then you can refer them to the Shop Pay Help Center page.

Every Shop Pay purchase supports carbon removal projects at no extra cost.
