Why Every Swiss Merchant Should Offer TWINT on Shopify

Shopify payments TWINT

To all Swiss merchants 🇨🇭 — did you know you can now integrate TWINT as a payment method directly with Shopify Payments — for FREE (aside from the standard transaction fees)?

This is big news for merchants based in Switzerland (or Germany with CHF as your default currency). The setup is seamless, and the only requirement is:

✅ Your store’s default currency is CHF
✅ Your business is based in Switzerland or Germany
✅ Your business meets Shopify’s eligibility criteria

This means you can finally skip:
🚫 Expensive third-party payment modules
🚫 Costly developer setup work
🚫 Annual maintenance fees

Instead, you get all your payouts in one place, fully streamlined within Shopify.


Why TWINT Matters

TWINT has become the go-to payment method in Switzerland, with adoption levels that few other countries can match. Practically every major Swiss bank – UBS, Credit Suisse, Raiffeisen, PostFinance, and many more – supports TWINT.

For your customers, TWINT is all about speed and simplicity:
📱 Tap on their phone
✅ Approve
💸 Done

When you offer TWINT, you’re aligning with what Swiss customers expect. Its absence can actually create friction at checkout — and sometimes send shoppers straight to a competitor.


Conversion Boost

Meeting customers where they are isn’t just good service — it’s good business. Offering TWINT removes friction, speeds up the checkout process, and often leads to measurably higher conversion rates.
