Shopify Payments in Poland – Current Status as of 2025
The year 2025 brings a breakthrough for Polish businesses running online stores on the Shopify platform. After years of anticipation, Shopify Payments, Shopify's native payment system, is now available in Poland. This means an end to the need to use third-party payment gateways like PayU or Przelewy24, and a number of benefits for store owners.
What is Shopify Payments?
Shopify Payments is an integrated payment system that allows you to accept payments directly in your Shopify store. Merchants can now accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and UnionPay cards, as well as use expedited payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay. Local payment methods like BLIK, iDEAL, Klarna, and Przelewy24 are also available.
Why is this important for Polish sellers?
Until now, Polish businesses using Shopify had to rely on third-party payment providers, which entailed additional costs and integration complications. Shopify Payments makes the payment process simpler and more efficient. Merchants can now:
-
Manage all your payments and payouts from one administration panel.
-
Offer customers popular payment methods, increasing conversions.
-
Sell in over 130 currencies, making international expansion easy.
-
Enjoy an expedited order fulfillment process with Shop Pay.
-
Receive payments faster, which improves cash flow.
Examples from other markets show that implementing Shopify Payments can significantly impact sales results. For example, BLT Basics saw a 50% increase in conversions after implementing the system.
How to launch Shopify Payments in Poland?

-
Register your store on the Shopify platform.

Go to the “Payments” section in the administration panel.

It's also worth remembering that until November 20, 2025, there's a promotion offering up to 0.20% off basic transaction fees for stores that meet certain Shopify criteria.
How does Shopify Payments impact customer experience?
1. Speed and convenience of payment
With Shopify Payments, customers can pay directly in-store without being redirected to a third-party gateway. This reduces checkout time, reducing the risk of cart abandonment.
2. Variety of payment methods
Customers have access to popular methods such as:
- Payment cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Locally in Poland – BLIK or Przelewy24
This allows each customer to choose the most convenient payment option.
3. Security and trust
Shopify Payments processes transactions in accordance with PCI DSS security standards. Customers see trusted payment methods and security certificates, which increases their sense of security and willingness to buy.
4. Faster shopping with Shop Pay
The Shop Pay feature allows customers to save payment and address details, making subsequent purchases a single click away. This significantly improves the shopping experience and customer loyalty.
5. International transactions
Shopify Payments allows payments in multiple currencies. International customers see prices in their local currency and can pay in a familiar way, reducing barriers to international purchases.
Final result: the purchasing process becomes faster, simpler and more trusted , which translates into higher conversion and customer satisfaction.
What about Przelewy24?
Przelewy24 remains a major player in the Polish online payments market. Since February 2023, it has been officially integrated with Shopify, allowing Polish merchants to easily accept payments using the Przelewy24 gateway. This integration allows merchants to offer customers fast and secure payments, resulting in higher conversion rates and user satisfaction.
