Boost Your Bottom Line: Why Trustap is the Smarter Payment Choice for Shopify

Blogs

Shopify is a fantastic platform for building your online store. It is reliable, fast to set up with zero coding required, and packed with built-in features to help you start selling right away.

However, staying entirely within Shopify’s ecosystem can sometimes feel restrictive, especially when it comes to payment processing. While Shopify Payments is the default option, it isn't your only choice. Trustap gives you a powerful, cost-effective alternative through our app, Trustap Checkout.

Lower Transaction Costs, Higher Profits

When you choose Trustap to handle card payments, you benefit from significantly lower transaction costs compared to standard rates. Every cent you save goes straight to your bottom line as pure profit, rather than eating into your margins.

We also know how crucial cash flow is for growing businesses. Trustap Checkout delivers fast payouts so your funds keep moving seamlessly.

Note: Unlike our peer-to-peer marketplace solutions (which feature custom transaction timelines to safeguard high-value trades) our Shopify solution is built specifically for rapid, high-volume ecommerce sales.

How Trustap Looks in Your Checkout

Integrating Trustap into your store is simple and unobtrusive.

  • Seamless Integration: Trustap replaces your standard card payment option while leaving express checkouts like Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna completely untouched.
  • Native Feel: It blends naturally into your existing checkout design.
  • Zero Friction: When customers choose to pay by card, they move smoothly to a secure payment page with their details prepopulated for a fast, hassle-free checkout.

The Checkout Flow

What About the Extra Click?

Merchants often ask whether adding a third-party payment step impacts conversion rates. It is a fair question, but the data is reassuring:

  1. Proven Performance: Third-party payment steps are industry standard (similar to PayPal). Trustap’s ecommerce merchants enjoy an average checkout conversion rate of 72%, which is well above the industry average.
  2. Click Count Doesn't Kill Conversions: Independent research confirms that an extra click in the checkout process does not lower conversion rates. What truly matters to shoppers is a smooth, transparent and secure payment experience.
  3. Addressing True Abandonment: The real drivers of cart abandonment are hidden fees, unexpected delivery timelines and forced account creation rather than a streamlined payment step.

With Trustap as your card option, you give your customers the secure, seamless checkout they expect, while keeping more of your hard-earned revenue.
