Rapyd and Shopify Join Forces to Simplify Global Payouts for E-Commerce Merchants

Shopify now offers embedded global payouts via Rapyd, giving sellers in emerging markets instant access to cross-border earnings.

Empowering Shopify Sellers with Seamless Global Payouts

Rapyd, a leading fintech-as-a-service platform, has announced a powerful partnership with Shopify to enable frictionless global payouts.

This integration embeds cross-border payment capabilities directly into Shopify’s merchant dashboards, simplifying fund access for sellers in over 30 countries.

Through this move, Shopify merchants can now receive payouts in local currencies via bank transfers, wallets, or even cash-out locations.

Because traditional payout methods are often slow and costly, the Rapyd-Shopify collaboration solves a long-standing challenge in global e-commerce.

How the Partnership Works

Merchants selling on Shopify’s platform can access their earnings instantly through Rapyd’s global payouts infrastructure, which supports over 900 payment methods.

From digital wallets in Nigeria to bank transfers in Brazil, sellers now gain localized, low-cost, and reliable fund disbursement options.

Additionally, the platform includes smart FX conversion, instant payouts, and built-in compliance support tailored to each region’s regulations.

As a result, even sellers in underserved or remote areas can now easily access global earnings without facing banking barriers.

Addressing a Major E-Commerce Bottleneck

According to Shopify, 42% of its global merchants are based in emerging markets, where payout delays and high fees can hinder growth.

By embedding global payouts directly into the seller experience, this integration eliminates the complexity of handling cross-border transfers.

“Shopify merchants want frictionless access to global buyers — and equally frictionless ways to access their earnings,” said Rapyd CEO Arik Shtilman.

Because of this partnership, Shopify can offer sellers a complete commerce experience, from storefront to instant funds in hand.

Local Access, Global Reach

Rapyd’s technology ensures that payouts adapt to the seller’s geography, financial preferences, and digital ecosystem.

Whether it’s a merchant in rural Indonesia or an artisan in South Africa, global payouts now feel fast, local, and intuitive.

That accessibility could unlock new levels of participation in global commerce for small and micro-businesses previously held back by payment limitations.

In fact, industry analysts believe this integration could drive a new wave of cross-border entrepreneurship in emerging economies.

A New E-Commerce Era for Sellers

The global payouts upgrade offers more than just better speed—it enhances the seller experience and supports e-commerce growth at every level.

Because sellers now avoid banking friction and foreign exchange confusion, they can focus on scaling their businesses globally.

As a result, Shopify becomes not only a platform for selling—but a complete global business enabler through partnerships like this.

For Rapyd, this move reinforces its role as a global infrastructure layer, bridging financial gaps across borders and industries.

What Comes Next

This partnership sets the tone for future fintech and e-commerce integrations focused on inclusivity, speed, and borderless business.

With 900+ payout rails and deep localization, Rapyd is positioned to support global payouts for more platforms beyond Shopify.

As digital commerce grows across Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Africa, tools like these will become essential infrastructure.

Ultimately, this collaboration showcases how embedded finance can unlock potential for small businesses around the world—starting with payouts.
