Install Airwallex Online Payments app
Increase checkout flexibility with cards and 160+ local payment methods on your Shopify store. We recommend that you use this app to offer Local Payment Methods like Alipay, Wechat, and Kakao Pay
The Airwallex Online Payments app allows you to accept card payments and over 160 local payment methods (LPMs) at checkout via redirect.
Before installation, please check your use case and follow the recommended apps
Which App Should I Use?
| Your Use Case | Recommended App(s) | Why? |
|---|---|---|
| I want to offer local payment methods like Alipay, WeChat Pay, or Kakao Pay (Most common) | Auto-Capture App | Most LPMs only support auto-capture. This app ensures they appear at checkout regardless of your store’s capture setting. |
| I want to offer card payments, Klarna, or Afterpay and I need to manually capture payments | Use our dedicated apps: • Native Cards • Klarna • Afterpay Alternatively use our All Capture Modes App | We recommend using the standalone apps for Cards, Klarna, and Afterpay so shoppers can checkout with one click on Shopify’s native page. Use the All Capture Modes App only if you prefer to offer all of these via a redirect page. |
Note: Shopify only supports a single capture setting per store. If your store is set to manual capture, LPMs (except Klarna and Afterpay) will not be available at checkout unless you use the Auto-Capture App.
