How do you add MB WAY without Shopify Payments?
Without Shopify Payments, MB WAY comes from a third-party payment provider as an additional payment method at checkout.
On October 24, 2026 we found four MB WAY payment apps on the Shopify App Store, all free to install:
- MONEI MBWay adds a single MB WAY option for shoppers in Portugal only; MONEI's docs say MB WAY is currently available to merchants in Spain.
- easypay also covers Multibanco and Visa/Mastercard.
- NOVALNET ‑ MB WAY connects through Novalnet.
- MB WAY Checkout, by Nabeyond, names no payment provider or processing fee on its listing.
Each provider sets its own fee; MONEI publishes 1.40% + €0.28 per successful transaction.
Eupago's guide instead sets MB WAY up as a manual payment method with order status page scripts, and Eupago says Shopify is discontinuing those scripts.
What does Shopify add to the provider's fee?
On payment apps and gateways, Shopify charges its third-party transaction fee on top of the provider's: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus.
It applies to payments through the app even with Shopify Payments activated and isn't returned when you refund; see a worked breakdown of the surcharge.
What if you switch to Shopify's own MB WAY later?
Shopify doesn't charge third-party transaction fees on orders processed using Shopify Payments. Shopify's own MB WAY needs Shopify Payments in an eligible region and an active market with Portugal in EUR (which stores qualify), and Shopify sets this rule first:
You must deactivate any conflicting additional payment gateways before you can activate local payment methods.
No Shopify page we read in October 2026 (local, MB WAY, managed and additional payment methods; third-party providers) says which gateways conflict or whether a third-party MB WAY app does, so be ready to deactivate it before switching.
