Absolutely — CartDNA apps are designed to work seamlessly alongside Shopify Payments and any other payment method enabled in your store. Merchants can use CartDNA’s alternative payment method (APM) apps in conjunction with Shopify Payments without any technical conflicts, restrictions, or negative impact on the customer checkout experience.

CartDNA offers a comprehensive suite of Shopify-approved payment integrations, enabling merchants to accept a wide array of global and local payment methods. These integrations are designed to cater to diverse customer preferences and regional requirements. 

Native Shopify Checkout Integration — Built for Coexistence

CartDNA apps are developed using Shopify’s official Payment App Extension framework, which means they are directly integrated into Shopify’s native checkout and operate harmoniously within Shopify’s architecture. This allows you to offer additional payment options — such as local APMs or region-specific gateways — alongside Shopify Payments (credit/debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc.) with no disruption or interference.

All CartDNA payment apps appear within the same checkout interface and follow Shopify’s dynamic payment method selection logic. Customers will be presented with the appropriate payment options based on their country, device, currency, or preferences — ensuring a smooth and intelligent checkout flow.

No Conflict Between Payment Methods

There is no conflict between CartDNA apps and Shopify Payments because each payment method is processed independently. Shopify automatically manages which payment method appears to each customer at checkout depending on eligibility and merchant configuration. You can have Shopify Payments active for general credit card processing, while offering CartDNA-powered APMs like local wallets, bank redirects, or installment solutions based on geography or business strategy.

For example, a US-based store using Shopify Payments can simultaneously offer CartDNA-powered Klarna (via Stripe), Bancontact, or FPX (for Malaysian buyers). These options will not overlap or interfere, and Shopify will ensure that only the relevant methods are shown to the appropriate customers.

Ideal for Multi-Region Payment Strategies

Many Shopify merchants use Shopify Payments as their default processor and integrate CartDNA apps to expand their payment offering in specific markets. This approach enables merchants to:

Offer local payment methods preferred in certain regions (e.g., iDEAL in the Netherlands, BLIK in Poland, Bizum in Spain).

Improve conversion rates by supporting payment options customers trust.

Avoid the limitations of Shopify Payments in markets where certain APMs are unavailable.

By combining both Shopify Payments and CartDNA apps, merchants can implement a hybrid, globally optimized payment strategy without compromising checkout speed or reliability.

In Summary

Yes — CartDNA apps are fully compatible with Shopify Payments. They are purpose-built to function together inside the Shopify checkout environment, giving you the flexibility to offer global and regional payment methods side-by-side. Whether you’re targeting a single country or operating internationally, CartDNA apps are an ideal addition to your Shopify Payments setup.
