Before Shopify Payments: How Cypriot Merchants Handled Payments

- PayPal – useful but often increased cart abandonment
- Manual bank transfers – slower and harder to automate

Shopify Payments now removes these limitations by offering a unified, high-performance payment experience inside the Shopify platform.
