As of 2024, Shop Pay had over 150 million registered users worldwide.[1]
History
In April 2017, Shopify announced the checkout feature called Shopify Pay.[2] Later that same year, the company announced a new package tracking app, Arrive, which tracked customer orders from brands on the platform and other online shopping sources.[3]
Early in 2020, a rebranded Shop Pay button appeared on participating checkouts; later that spring, Arrive was rebranded as Shop.[4][5]
In 2024, Shop Pay expanded to other commerce platforms and no longer required businesses to be on Shopify to use it.[6]
In 2025, Shopify started operating in the countries of the European Union.[7][8] The same year, Shop Pay was made available in 15 additional European countries.[9]
