Why Choose Trustap as Your Shopify Payment Option?

Blogs

Shopify Payments is a popular starting point, but it often leaves growing merchants feeling boxed in. Trustap is a great alternative to Shopify Payments, replacing your card payment option and giving you the freedom to step outside that ecosystem and take real control over your checkout experience and your bottom line.

Here is why forward-thinking Shopify merchants are making the switch to Trustap. 

Uncover Your True Costs & Unlock Real Savings

One of the biggest hesitations merchants have about moving away from Shopify Payments is cost. The reality is that Trustap consistently beats standard Shopify fees.

Many merchants assume their payment processing fee is their total cost. To show you the full picture, we calculate your Actual Transaction Cost (ATC). We review every hidden fee impacting your margins, such as:

  • Foreign exchange (FX) fees
  • Non-refundable fees lost on returns
  • International surcharges

Once we analyse your current setup, we deliver a customised pricing structure tailored specifically to your volume (you can explore our general pricing tiers here). We regularly save merchants 0.5% to 4% per transaction.

4 Reasons Making the Switch Delivers Instant Impact

You might wonder if saving a couple of percentage points is worth shifting your setup. It absolutely is! Here is why.

1. Instant Boost to Your Net Profit

Fee savings do not just add to your top-line revenue, they drop straight to your bottom line.

For example: If we save your store $8,000 in transaction fees, that is $8,000 in pure net profit. Consider how many additional product units you would need to sell just to generate that same amount in net margin. Switching payment options achieves that result instantly, with a fraction of the effort.

2. Compounding Savings as You Scale

As your store scales and volume grows, these savings compound rapidly over time, keeping more revenue in your business.

3. Keep Your Express Checkout Options Intact

Trustap seamlessly replaces your standard card payment processor while leaving your favorite express checkout options (like Apple Pay or Google Pay) untouched. You get better rates without risking a broken checkout experience.

4. Zero Friction, Proven Conversion Rates

To be transparent, using a third-party payment app on Shopify introduces one additional click at checkout, including for Trustap. This however, does not impact conversion rates, with our customers enjoying an average checkout conversion rate of 72% for card payments.

Industry research confirms that a single additional click does not negatively impact conversions, provided the user journey is clear and seamless. The real drivers of drop-off are unexpected final costs, long shipping timelines, and mandatory account creation, not a streamlined payment flow with one extra click.

Complete Flexibility with Zero Risk

With Trustap, you are never locked in. You maintain complete control and can toggle Trustap on or off in your Shopify backend whenever you choose.
