Shopify

Overview

Zip offers an integration that allows Shopify merchants to offer Zip Pay in 4 to their customers.

If you don't have a merchant account with Zip, please navigate to Zip for Business to become a merchant partner. Once you've become a Zip merchant partner, you can refer to this guide as you integrate via the Zip onboarding flow.

If you've previously been a Zip partner or are encountering technical issues, please utilize this guide or contact Partner Support for assistance.

Follow the steps in this guide to integrate Zip into your Shopify store.

  1. Integrate the Widget
  2. Add the Payment Gateway

Issuing Refunds

Issuing refunds for Zip orders is straightforward with the following instructions.

  1. Locate the Zip order you would like to issue a refund for.

  1. Click Refund on the Order Details Page.

  1. Enter the Refund Amount and Reason.

  1. Click the Refund button. Zip will automatically credit the customer's existing and/or future installments as needed.

  1. Verify the order status in Shopify and also in the Zip Merchant Portal (staging environment).

📘

If the online store doesn't handle issuing refunds directly, the Zip Merchant Portal can be configured to issue refunds. Contact Partner Support to learn more.

Matching Zip and Shopify Orders

When an order is placed through Shopify, an ID called the Payment ID is set on the order. You can find this ID in Shopify, in the order Timeline section. Navigate to the Timeline event that says "A $X USD payment was authorized on Zip (US)," then expand the "Information from the gateway" section to reveal the Payment ID.


The Payment ID is the same as the Merchant Reference value found in the Orders section of the Zip Merchant Portal.

📘

Note

Shopify does not provide Zip with the Shopify Order Id. You will need the Shopify Payment Id in order to associate Shopify and Zip orders.

Find Orders in Shopify with a Zip Order Number

    For example: receipt.payment_id:xxx.
