In today’s dynamic digital landscape, launching an online store is the baseline; scaling it sustainably, profitably, and intelligently is where brands truly win. Shopify has become the platform of choice for fast-growing businesses thanks to its intuitive interface, rich ecosystem, and global scalability.
But while Shopify powers the storefront, the engine that drives revenue, cash flow, and business efficiency sits behind the scenes: your payments and financial operations.
That’s where Zwitch comes in.
Built by OPEN—India’s 100th unicorn—Zwitch pairs Shopify’s storefront power with modern payment and financial infrastructure.

How to Connect Zwitch Payments with Your Shopify Store
Once the reconciliation module and payment gateway are bundled with Zwitch, getting started takes just a few minutes. Here’s the complete flow, explained in a clean blog-ready format:

Merchants can start by accessing the Zwitch Shopify plugin from the provided installation link. A quick, guided install ensures the plugin is added to the merchant’s Shopify admin without needing any technical configuration or code changes.
2. Enter Zwitch API credentials to activate the plugin
After installation, merchants simply paste in their Zwitch API Key and Secret inside Shopify’s payment settings. This step activates the connection between the Shopify storefront and the Zwitch payment infrastructure, enabling secure order → payment communication.

4. Customers can now pay via Zwitch on the merchant’s store
With Zwitch live on checkout, customers visiting the merchant’s Shopify store will see Zwitch-powered options during payment. From here, the entire flow—initiated payments, settlements, and reconciliation—runs seamlessly through Zwitch’s backend.
