You should not usually choose between Shopify Payments and Revolut for Business, instead use them both. Here is a quick comparison.
Platform Integration & Fees
Shop Pay / Shopify Payments: Fully native to Shopify. Using it waives Shopify’s additional third-party transaction fees. Standard Irish card processing rates start around 1.5% + €0.25.
Revolut Business: Operates as a third-party gateway plugin on Shopify. Standard Shopify third-party transaction fees may apply to your plan unless bypassed, and Revolut card processing fees typically start around 1% to 1.2% depending on your plan tier and card types.
Checkout Experience & Conversion
Shop Pay: Offers lightning-fast, one-tap accelerated checkout for millions of global users who save their shipping and card details via the Shop ecosystem, drastically cutting cart abandonment.
Revolut Business: Allows customers to check out using standard major cards or Revolut Pay, letting millions of European Revolut users pay securely in one click directly from their app balance.
Payouts and Banking
Shop Pay / Shopify Payments: Pays out directly to your Irish business bank account (IBAN) in 1 to 3 business days.
Revolut Business: Settles funds directly into your Revolut Business account, making it seamless if you manage multi-currency balances (35+ currencies) or prefer holding business revenue within Revolut.
