How do you add Multibanco without Shopify Payments?

Without Shopify Payments, a third-party provider's app adds Multibanco. On October 26, 2026 we found eleven listings on the Shopify App Store (a snapshot). Each provider sets its own rate, and MONEI's is in the next section:

MB WAY is separate: easypay and SIBS carry both, while MONEI and Novalnet list them apart; see which apps add MB WAY.

Using Eupago instead?
Eupago's Multibanco route adds code to the Order status page's additional scripts, which the upgraded Order status page doesn't support; stores not upgraded by August 26, 2026 were upgraded automatically — ask Eupago how it works now.

What does a Multibanco order through an app cost?

Two fees stack. The provider sets its own; MONEI publishes 2.10% + €0.65 per successful transaction (October 2026).

On top, Shopify charges its third-party transaction fee on Multibanco app payments: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus, even with Shopify Payments activated, and isn't returned on refunds (how the surcharge works).

Can you use Shopify's own Multibanco instead?

Only with Shopify Payments, as a merchant in Portugal selling to customers in Portugal who pay in euros; unpaid orders are canceled after 7 days (when Shopify cancels an unpaid Multibanco order). Shopify adds one rule:

You need to deactivate any conflicting alternative payment gateways before you can enable Multibanco.

No Shopify page we read in October 2026 (Multibanco, local and additional payment methods, third-party providers and transaction fees) says which gateways conflict, so plan to replace the app, not run both.
