Shopify Payments is Shopify's own payment processing gateway that allows you to accept credit card payments directly in your store without a third-party provider. It integrates seamlessly with your Shopify store.  Once Shopify Payments is activated, you can manage all your payment and order details within the Shopify admin. Plus, when you use Shopify Payments, you avoid additional transaction fees that are typically charged when using an external payment gateway provider.
