Beyond Shopify Payments: Accept 40+ Stripe Payment Methods on Shopify Without Shopify Payments
If you’re a Shopify merchant who cannot use Shopify Payments, you’re not alone.
Maybe it’s not available in your country. Maybe your business wasn’t approved. Or maybe you simply prefer using your own Stripe account.
But then you hit a wall.
You realize:
You can’t offer local payment methods
You can’t enable true multi-currency checkout
You’re stuck with limited third-party gateways
And worst of all, you’re losing customers at checkout.
The Reality: Shopify Payments Is Not Always an Option
Shopify Payments is required for many advanced checkout features like:
Local payment methods
Multi-currency checkout
Optimized checkout experience
Without it, your checkout becomes limited and less competitive.
This is especially critical in regions where local payment methods dominate. If customers don’t see their preferred option, they simply don’t complete the purchase.
The Workaround: Use Your Stripe Account with EasyPie Checkout
EasyPie Checkout is a third-party checkout solution that connects your Shopify store to your Stripe account.
Instead of relying on Shopify Payments, you create your own checkout based on Stripe.
What EasyPie Actually Does
EasyPie is not just a payment gateway. It is a complete checkout system.
Here is how it works:
Customers add products to cart on your Shopify store
At checkout, they are redirected to your EasyPie Checkout (checkout.yourdomain.com)
They pay using any Stripe-supported payment method
EasyPie automatically creates the order in Shopify after payment
Everything stays synced between:
Shopify (products, orders, shipping)
Stripe (payments, customers, subscriptions)
Why This Setup Is Powerful
1. Unlock 40+ Payment Methods via Stripe
With EasyPie, you can accept all payment methods available in your Stripe account, including:
Cards: Visa, Mastercard, Amex
Bank payments: ACH, SEPA, BECS
Buy Now Pay Later: Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay
Local methods: iDEAL, Bancontact, FPX, BLIK, Przelewy24
Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal
Regional wallets: Alipay, WeChat Pay, GrabPay, PayNow
Stripe dynamically shows the most relevant payment methods based on:
Customer location
Currency
Device
This significantly improves conversion rates.
While Stripe dynamically optimizes the payment method display, if you prefer a fixed order, we can arrange the payment methods in any specific order you request.
2. True Multi-Currency Checkout
EasyPie allows you to:
Accept payments in multiple currencies
Set your own exchange rates
Show consistent pricing from product page to checkout
Customers see and pay in their local currency, which reduces friction and increases trust.
3. Built-In Subscription System (Based on Stripe)
EasyPie fully supports recurring payments:
Automatic invoicing via Stripe
Flexible billing intervals
Auto-renewed subscriptions
New Shopify order created on each renewal
You can manage everything directly from your Stripe Dashboard, without needing extra apps.
4. Full Checkout Control
Shopify normally restricts checkout customization unless you are on Shopify Plus.
With EasyPie:
You control checkout experience
You control payment method visibility
You can show/hide payment methods by country, currency, or cart value
Stripe also automatically handles:
3D Secure and SCA compliance
Dynamic payment optimization
5. Advanced Features Built-In
EasyPie includes features typically requiring multiple apps:
Automatic tax handling (manual or Stripe Tax)
Shipping rate logic (price, weight, country-based)
Coupon/discount support
Customer data collection
Invoice generation and tracking
6. Mobile-Optimized Checkout Experience
EasyPie is designed as a mobile-first checkout, with:
Fast loading
Clean interface
App-like experience
This helps reduce drop-offs and improves conversion rates across devices.
