Frequently Asked Questions

Does Shopify integrate directly with Stripe?

Yes, Shopify has a native integration with Stripe. It is available directly within the Shopify app marketplace.

Is the connection between Shopify and Stripe secure?

Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Shopify security settings.

Is the sync one-way or two-way?

This is typically a one-way sync: Shopify → Stripe. Changes in Stripe do not sync back to Shopify.

Will existing data in Shopify sync to Stripe?

Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
