Can you use Authorize.net with Shopify?

Published ·
At a glance
Short answer
Yes, in supported countries, but Shopify adds its own transaction fee on top of Authorize.net's rates.
Shopify's extra fee
Set by your plan; on refunds, kept where Shopify Payments is available, otherwise credited in proportion.
US stores
Blocked under early-access Shopify-managed sales tax for certain stores opened after October 27, 2026, until set to Self-directed.
Card providers
One credit card provider at a time; Shopify's general rule also allows one direct provider alongside Shopify Payments.
Subscriptions
With Authorize.net on third-party subscription apps, PayPal is the only wallet; no Google Pay or Apple Pay.
Alongside Shopify Payments
Unconfirmed for Authorize.net on the pages we read; Shopify's setup steps include deactivating Shopify Payments.

Where does Authorize.net work with Shopify?

Shopify offers it to stores only in certain countries; check yours on its payment provider list. Install it from your admin's Payments section; Shopify's setup page has the steps.

Some US stores opened after October 27, 2026
They're in early access for Shopify-managed sales tax. On it, a store can't use third-party providers until it sets Self-directed, which the admin can't change back, so weigh that first. Other US stores aren't affected.

What does Authorize.net cost on Shopify?

Two charges stack: Authorize.net's rate and Shopify's plan-based fee, which applies even when Shopify Payments is activated. Authorize.net's published rates, as of November 2026 in USD, are $25/month plus 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction on All-in-One, and $25/month plus 10¢ per transaction and a 10¢ daily batch fee on Gateway Only, for your own merchant account.

Shopify figures: US only, read October 2026.

At these rates All-in-One plus Shopify's fee costs more than Shopify Payments on every plan. On your own merchant account, add Gateway Only's charges and Shopify's fee to your rate.

Should you keep Authorize.net or switch?

Plan on one or the other until Shopify confirms you can run both. With Shopify Payments activated, Shopify's Authorize.net steps include “Click Deactivate Shopify Payments”, and the third-party provider pages we read, as of November 2026, don't say whether Authorize.net is a direct provider. Those are setup steps, not a ban.

If it's a direct provider, Shopify's general rule allows one alongside Shopify Payments, with a 1.25% premium on Shopify Payments transactions.

Keep Authorize.net if
Switch to Shopify Payments if
  • It's available, and your Authorize.net total, $25 a month included, comes out higher.
  • Your US store is on early-access Shopify-managed sales tax.
