Yes. Shop is free to download and free to use. There are no subscriptions, no transaction fees on the buyer side, and no in-app ads beyond the natural promotional content from merchants you follow.

Yes — Shop is available in most countries where Shopify operates, including Canada, the UK, Australia, EU member states, and many others. Some features (Shop Pay Installments via Affirm, certain carrier integrations) are restricted to North America.

Yes. You can browse the marketplace, follow merchants, and track parcels without ever adding a payment method. Shop Pay only activates when you choose to use it at checkout.

Card data is tokenized — replaced with a meaningless string that can only be charged through Shopify's checkout. Raw card numbers are not stored on your device or shared with individual merchants. Shopify is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified.

Shop Pay works at any Shopify-powered storefront where the merchant has enabled it — that's the majority of Shopify sites today. It does not work at Amazon, eBay, Etsy, or non-Shopify retailers.

Eligible orders ($50–$20,000) can be split into four interest-free payments, due every two weeks. Larger orders may qualify for 3-, 6-, or 12-month financing through Affirm with interest. A soft credit check is performed; on-time payments incur no fees.

Shop Pay processes payment but does not act as the seller. For shipment failures, contact the merchant first via Shop's chat. If unresolved, file a chargeback with your credit card issuer — Shop's transaction history makes this straightforward.

Yes. Shop's tracking inbox can pull shipping confirmations from Amazon, retailers, and direct carriers, either by forwarding emails to [email protected] or granting Shop read-only access to your email.

Open the app → Settings → Account → Delete Account. You'll receive a confirmation email; once confirmed, your account and saved data are removed within 30 days. You can also request a full data export under GDPR or CCPA before deleting.

Shop displays sponsored merchants and product placements in the discovery feed, similar to most marketplaces. There are no full-screen interstitials, video pre-rolls, or third-party advertising networks running inside the app.

No, but they share a parent company. Shopify is the e-commerce platform that powers individual storefronts. Shop is Shopify's consumer mobile app — a unified front door to those storefronts plus a checkout wallet and tracking inbox.

There is a Shop web experience at shop.app, and Shop Pay works at checkout on any device. The full app experience (notifications, biometric unlock, marketplace feed) is iOS and Android only.

Shopify funds verified carbon-removal projects sufficient to offset the shipping emissions of every Shop Pay order. Buyers don't pay extra; the cost is absorbed by Shopify. Offsets are independently audited.

Shop is the mobile app. Shop Pay is the accelerated checkout wallet. Shop Cash is occasional reward credit issued by Shopify or merchants for promotions — usable as account credit on future Shop Pay orders.
