Benefits of Shopify Payments for Norwegian Merchants
Accept Payments in NOK
Shopify Payments now allows you to sell and receive payouts in Norwegian krone, with funds deposited directly into your Norwegian bank account.
No Extra Shopify Fees
Avoid the 1–2% platform surcharge that Shopify applies when using external gateways like Stripe or PayPal. Shopify Payments removes these extra costs.
Shop Pay, Apple Pay & Google Pay
Enable modern digital wallets and express checkout tools that significantly boost mobile conversion and reduce cart abandonment.
Fully Integrated Shopify Experience
View and manage payments, disputes, refunds, and payouts from within your Shopify admin — no third-party systems required.
Fully Compliant with Norwegian and EU Standards

What Merchants Used Before Shopify Payments
Before this rollout, Shopify merchants in Norway relied on:
- Vipps – Norway’s most popular local payment app
- Stripe – not NOK-native within Shopify and triggered extra fees
- Nets – regional processor with more complex integrations
- PayPal – widely accepted, but often resulted in higher fees
- Manual invoice or bank transfer options
These setups worked but added operational friction, extra fees, and disconnected user experiences. Shopify Payments now provides a single, embedded, cost-efficient solution.
