Shopify is rebuilding their payment infrastructure and requiring all of its payment partners to migrate to this new architecture. We have aimed to be consistent with the existing integration wherever possible, but some elements of the existing integration will change or no longer be available.

Transaction types

  • Authorization (authorize only)
  • Sale (authorize and capture)
  • Capture (capture only)
  • Void (reversal)
  • Refund (credit)

Card brands

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express
  • Discover
  • Diners Club
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay

We are planning to offer support for Shopify Subscriptions in an upcoming application release. Subscription merchants should use the legacy application until further notice.

Shopify has extended the deadline for migration until September 30, 2024 for the initial cohort. Any new deadlines will be communicated directly to merchants via email from Authorize.net and the Shopify Admin Portal.

When a transaction is created, a Shopify Payment ID is generated and paired with the order in the Shopify Admin Panel. To find the ID, access the transaction and expand the section “…Payment was processed on Authorize.net.” There will be an additional section called “Information from the gateway” that contains the ID.

 

You can view the Shopify PaymentID within the transaction description in Authorize.net’s Merchant Interface.

The current known changes in the new integration impact the following: transaction ID visibility and third party application usage, removed support for Customer Information Manager Tokenization, fraud management data filters and review status, payment logos in checkout, and subscriptions/recurring billing.
