Benefits of Shopify Payments for Gibraltar Merchants
Accept Payments in Euros (EUR)
While the local currency is GIP, Shopify Payments allows merchants to charge and receive payouts in Euros — the preferred standard for online commerce in Gibraltar.
No Extra Shopify Transaction Fees
Shopify’s 1–2% surcharge for using third-party gateways (like Stripe or Adyen) is eliminated with Shopify Payments.
Offer Shop Pay, Apple Pay & Google Pay
Enable fast, mobile-first checkouts that increase conversions and customer satisfaction — especially among returning buyers.
Fully Integrated Admin and Reporting
Manage payouts, refunds, disputes, and more from a single dashboard in Shopify. No need to jump between tools.
Security & Regulatory Compliance Built-In
Includes PCI DSS, 3D Secure, and Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) — ensuring compliance with EU and UK regulations by default.
What Merchants Used Before Shopify Payments
Before Shopify Payments, most Gibraltar-based merchants relied on:
- Stripe – functional but subject to Shopify surcharges
- PayPal – popular with international customers, but less seamless
- Manual invoicing or wire transfers – especially in B2B contexts
- Hosted payment links from banks or third-party gateways
These setups added complexity, increased cost, and created friction in the user experience — all now resolved with Shopify Payments.
