Explanation:
Migrating your Afterpay integration from WooCommerce to Shopify involves a few key steps to ensure a seamless transition for your customers. Please refer to the Action section below for the steps to take when migrating Afterpay from WooCommerce to Shopify.
Action:
Please follow the below steps:
-
Install the Afterpay App on Shopify
- Log into your Shopify Admin.
- Navigate to Settings > Payments.
- Search for "Afterpay (New)" and select Afterpay as your payment gateway.
- Follow the instructions on the screen to link your Afterpay merchant account to your Shopify store.
- You will need your Afterpay Merchant ID and secret key (which you can find in the settings page of the Afterpay Business Hub).
-
Test Your Afterpay Integration
- After setting up Afterpay on Shopify, you should test the integration to ensure it’s functioning correctly by making sure the Afterpay payment option appears at checkout for eligible customers.
- Perform a test transaction to verify that the payment process works smoothly.
-
Continue to Leave Afterpay Installed in WooCommerce for Refunds
- If you can, leave the Afterpay app installed on your WooCommerce store so you can continue to process refunds. Previous orders from WooCommerce won't populate in Shopify, so at a minimum you should keep it available for as long as your refund window is valid. You don't need an operational WooCommerce website, but the backend systems with Afterpay installed should be there to process refunds when necessary.

- In WooCommerce, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments.
- Disable or delete the Afterpay payment method from your payment gateways.
Important Notes:
Keep an eye on transactions in the early days of the migration to ensure that everything is working smoothly. Monitor your Afterpay account and Shopify's payment dashboard for any issues or discrepancies.
