How Crypto Fits into Shop Pay Checkout

1

Start at a Shop Pay-enabled checkout

Open Shop Pay on a participating online store, in the Shop app or on shop.app, or at a retail counter that presents a Shop Pay QR code.

2

Pick your crypto route

Use SolCard as the payment method saved in Shop Pay, or choose USDC on Base if that specific Shopify Payments merchant has enabled native crypto checkout.

3

Verify and finish the order

Complete the Shop Pay flow with your passkey or the SMS/email code Shop sends. If the checkout offers Shop Pay Installments, approval, repayment rules, and card restrictions are handled separately by Affirm.

Where SolCard Helps Most with Shop Pay

Works across Shop Pay's different checkout surfaces

Shop Pay is the default checkout experience inside the Shop app and on shop.app, and it also appears across participating online stores plus some Shopify POS QR flows. SolCard gives you one crypto-funded payment method you can reuse anywhere that broader Shop Pay checkout appears.

Useful for subscription orders

Shop says Shop Pay can be used for subscription orders at participating stores, with management available from your Shop account or the store's own customer account. SolCard is practical when you want those recurring store charges funded from crypto instead of a separate bank card.

Helpful when installments are unavailable or unnecessary

Shop Pay Installments is a separate Affirm flow limited to eligible stores and customers in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, within specific order ranges. SolCard still works for ordinary pay-in-full Shop Pay checkouts when financing is unavailable, declined, or simply not what you want.

Broader than Shop Pay's native crypto lane

Shopify documents USDC on Base inside Shop Pay when a Shopify Payments merchant enables it, but that direct crypto option is store-dependent and limited to one coin on one network. SolCard is more flexible when you want to spend other crypto assets or the merchant only offers card-backed Shop Pay.

Keeps Shop Pay's saved-wallet speed

Shop Pay saves shipping, billing, and payment details, then verifies checkout with a passkey, SMS code, or email code. Once SolCard is stored in that wallet flow, you keep Shop Pay's fast repeat checkout across participating stores without re-entering payment details each time.

Makes ongoing Shop Pay charges easier to manage

Shop notes that changing your default payment method does not automatically update existing subscriptions or installment orders; those need to be updated individually. Using a dedicated SolCard can make those continuing Shop Pay obligations easier to track and swap when needed.

About Shop Pay

Shop Pay is Shopify's accelerated checkout, so the actual purchase can be almost anything sold by a participating store: standard ecommerce orders, subscription products, purchases inside the Shop app or on shop.app, and some in-person Shopify POS checkouts that open a QR-based Shop Pay flow. Shop Pay also offers installment financing through Affirm on eligible checkouts, and Shopify now supports native USDC on Base in Shop Pay when a merchant enables it. SolCard is useful when you want to fund Shop Pay's standard payment flow with crypto, especially on stores that haven't enabled USDC or when you would rather pay in full than apply for installments.

Shop Pay Payment FAQ

Sometimes. Shopify's help documentation says Shop Pay can support USDC cryptocurrency when the store accepts it, and Shopify's USDC rollout uses USDC on Base rather than a broad multi-coin checkout. That means native crypto inside Shop Pay is store-dependent and narrower than SolCard, which supports 4 tokens across 9 blockchain networks for card-funded Shop Pay purchases.
