Use MakePay crypto checkout with Shopify manual payments

Shopify does not work like a normal downloadable PHP plugin. The MakePay approach uses a Shopify custom app, Admin API credentials, a manual payment method, and MakeCrypto merchant settings to synchronize payment activity.

When Shopify creates an order for the manual payment method, MakeCrypto can create a MakePay payment link, write order notes, email the payment link, and mark the order paid after MakePay completes.

Why Shopify uses a bridge instead of a ZIP plugin

Shopify storefronts run on Shopify infrastructure, so merchants do not upload arbitrary backend modules the way they do in WooCommerce or PrestaShop. The MakePay integration works through Shopify Admin API credentials and MakeCrypto dashboard settings.

This keeps the payment-link creation and order sync logic in MakeCrypto while Shopify remains responsible for orders, customer records, and fulfillment.

Order notes and paid status

MakeCrypto can write a MakePay note block to Shopify orders with payment details and the hosted payment URL. After MakePay completes, the sync can mark the order as paid when that option is enabled.

This helps support teams see exactly how the customer was asked to pay and whether MakePay reported a completed payment.

Credential hygiene

Use the least Shopify Admin API scopes required for order and draft-order work. Rotate credentials if the custom app token is exposed, and keep access limited to team members who manage payment operations.

For MakePay itself, the Shopify bridge uses MakeCrypto session-managed settings rather than shipping a plugin secret inside a storefront package.
