Norwegian online stores can now fully utilize Shopify Payments – Shopify’s own payment solution. This marks a significant step forward for both small and large online stores, as Shopify Payments simplifies payment processing, provides better control, and improves the customer experience.

Appsalon is among the first agencies in Norway to actively work with Shopify Payments, and we assist both new and existing customers in getting started quickly and safely.

What is Shopify Payments?

Shopify Payments is an integrated payment solution built directly into the Shopify platform. You don't need third-party payment providers, which means:

  • No additional transaction fees to third parties

  • Full overview of sales and payments in Shopify admin

  • Faster payouts (often within 2-3 business days)

  • Easier handling of refunds and fraud protection

The solution supports popular payment methods such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay and local payment methods where relevant.

Why choose Shopify Payments in Norway?

Now that the solution is available in Norway, store operators no longer have to integrate with external systems like Stripe or Nets. This means that all sales, customer data and payments are processed in one platform – providing better insight, less margin for error and faster customer service handling.

It's important to note that Shopify Payments isn't necessarily cheaper than third-party payment solutions in Norway, but it does offer more flexibility, better visibility, and support for multiple currencies – especially NOK and EUR. This makes the solution well-suited for stores that sell both nationally and in Europe.

The benefits include:

  • Lower administration and technical maintenance

  • Higher conversion rate due to a seamless checkout

  • Less dependence on third-party systems

  • Easy activation – it only takes a few minutes in the Shopify backend

How Appsalon helps you

Appsalon offers full assistance with:

  • Shopify Payments assessment and setup

  • Integration with financial systems (Tripletex, Fiken, 24SevenOffice, etc.)

  • Setting up currencies and international markets

  • Payment flow testing and checkout optimization

Our goal is for you to spend as little time as possible on technical details, and as much time as possible on selling and scaling.

Is it safe?

Yes. Shopify Payments has built-in fraud protection, PCI DSS certification, and the option for 3D Secure when needed. Shopify is constantly working on security and privacy in line with GDPR and Norwegian laws. You can also set up manual payments and get full control of your finances.

What does it cost?

Prices vary by Shopify plan, and depend on card type and markets. For Norwegian users, fees typically range from 1.4–1.9% per transaction, plus a flat fee. There are no fixed monthly fees beyond your Shopify plan. Prices may be higher for payments in other currencies or via alternative payment methods.

Ready to get started?

Shopify Payments is already available in your Shopify account if you have a Norwegian business registration number and bank account. It only takes a few minutes to activate.

Appsalon is happy to help you with both technical setup and strategic optimization of the payment flow - whether you have an existing online store or are planning to start one.
