The truth is, you can integrate Webflow with multiple payment gateways outside of Shopify, giving you more flexibility, lower fees, and more control over your checkout experience.
Why look beyond Shopify?
Shopify is a great all-in-one platform, but it’s not always the best solution for every business using Webflow.
Here’s why many Webflow users look for alternatives:
- Design freedom: Shopify themes can limit design flexibility, while Webflow offers complete creative control.
- Lower transaction fees: Some payment providers offer better pricing or more transparent pricing.
- Regional availability: Shopify Payments is not available in all countries, but gateways like PayPal or Stripe often are.
- Custom user experience: Businesses want a seamless payment flow that matches their brand, not a redirect to Shopify’s checkout page.
With Webflow, you can keep your custom design and integrate your preferred payment processor directly or through a third-party tool.

Payment Integrations in Webflow
When integrating payment gateways into your Webflow project, keep these tips in mind:

- Test all payment flows before publishing them to avoid user issues.
- Match branding across all payment pages for a consistent experience.
- Check regional support and transaction fees for your target markets.
- Use custom success and error pages in Webflow to maintain a smooth user experience.
Webflow continues to develop its e-commerce and API capabilities, which means even deeper integrations with third-party payment providers are on the horizon. Combined with no-code tools and AI-powered automation, startups can now build fully functional online stores with minimal complexity, while keeping design at the forefront.
