Cross-border payment gateway for Shopify
A cross-border payment gateway localizes checkout by pricing in local currency, offering familiar payment methods, and calculating duties and taxes upfront. This reduces friction and payment failures, raises authorization rates, and increases checkout conversion across countries. It also centralizes compliance, fraud controls, and payout management while coordinating international or regional fulfillment. Shoppers see transparent totals and trusted ways to pay, improving confidence and completion rates without requiring separate foreign entities.
FAQ
### Do I need foreign entities to sell internationally?
No. Modern cross-border setups let you centralize payments, tax handling, and logistics under one entity while localizing checkout experiences per market.
### Will familiar local payment methods actually improve checkout conversion?
Yes. Offering the dominant payment options in each country reduces friction and soft declines, raising authorization rates and completion, especially on mobile and high-risk transactions.
### How should prices, duties, and taxes be shown at checkout?
Display local currency with real-time duties and taxes included before payment. Clear landed costs prevent delivery-time surprises and lower abandonment and support escalations.
### How can I test and optimize my cross-border payment mix?
Launch with a minimal set of top local methods, track approval and drop-off by method, then iterate on routing, 3DS rules, and fraud thresholds by country.
