Which apps add TWINT without Shopify Payments?

On October 30, 2026 we found two TWINT apps on the Shopify App Store: TWINT by TFTW GmbH (provider: PEND) and Payrexx Payment App.

A US-based store whose US sales tax Shopify manages can't use third-party payment providers.

TWINT app (TFTW / PEND)
  • A PEND account, a TWINT merchant account and your shop's TWINT UUID
  • CHF 120 a year per shop and payment method, plus a 0.3% PEND fee and, as PEND lists it, a 1.3% TWINT fee per transaction
Payrexx Payment App
Prices and terms as published by PEND and Payrexx, read October 30, 2026.

Payrexx offers TWINT only to merchants located in Switzerland; PEND's pages we read on October 30, 2026 don't name its countries: ask PEND first. For PEND's route, TWINT's merchant terms (September 2024 version) require a payout account in your name at a Swiss-licensed bank.

Install either app in your admin:

What does Shopify charge on top of the app?

Shopify adds its third-party transaction fee to transactions through the app, on top of the provider's fees: 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow, 0.6% on Advanced and 0.2% on Plus.

It applies even with Shopify Payments activated and, on refunds, isn't returned if Shopify Payments is available in your store's country; otherwise, only refunds made in your Shopify admin earn a proportional credit; see how that surcharge works.

Can you keep a TWINT app alongside Shopify's own TWINT?

Shopify's own TWINT needs an eligible Shopify Payments account (which stores qualify).

Shopify says you must deactivate any conflicting additional payment gateways before activating local payment methods.

Shopify's and the providers' pages we read on October 30, 2026 don't say whether a TWINT app counts as conflicting. Managed payment methods won't switch it off for you, so be ready to deactivate it yourself.

On Shopify POS, only retail-compatible payment apps that display in your POS payment settings can be activated; check there.
