Stores that don't use Shopify Payments can now appear on Shop
What they said
Read the original ↗“Shop is now open to stores that don't use Shopify Payments.”
In plain English
Until now, only stores using Shopify Payments could appear on Shop, Shopify's shopping app and Shop.com. Stores using other payment providers can now appear too, as long as they meet Shop's eligibility requirements. Shopify has also updated those requirements for every store.
Why it matters
If you use a different payment provider, Shop could become a new source of visitors. Shopify says eligible stores may start seeing traffic referred from the Shop app and Shop.com.
Because the requirements have changed for all stores, and stores that don't meet them aren't listed until they do, it's worth checking your status even if you already use Shopify Payments. Stores without Shopify Payments can appear on Shop but can't use Shop Campaigns.
