Accept payments instantly on your Shopify store with our no-code payment gateway. We support all major payment methods including:
  • UPI
  • Credit Cards
  • Debit Cards
  • Net Banking
  • Wallets
  • Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL)
Cashfree provides following plugin options for Shopify integration:
  • Standard Shopify payment plugin (listed on Shopify as 1Cashfree): Supports all major payment methods, including UPI, credit cards, debit cards, net banking, wallets, and Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL).
  • Direct card payments plugin (manual setup) (listed on Shopify as Cashfree Payments - Cards): Supports only credit and debit card payments through Shopify’s native checkout flow.
We have introduced a new, simpler way for merchants to install Shopify using the following link: Cashfree: Shopify App Store. This method enables merchants to integrate Shopify with Cashfree seamlessly, complementing our traditional approach.

  3. In Supported Payment Methods, click Manage on Cashfree
  4. Scroll down and enable Test mode

Important notes

If you change your Shopify domain, remember to: - Whitelist the new domain in Cashfree dashboard from the Merchant Dashboard and go to Payment Gateway > Developers > Whitelisting - Reconnect the plugin to update settings
Cashfree does not currently support customising the payment method name, description, or other text that the Cashfree plugin displays on the Shopify checkout page.
Enable mandatory phone number collection in Shopify checkout settings

​
Report reconciliation

Match transactions between Shopify and Cashfree using:
  • Shopify’s Payment ID column in the shopify report.
  • Cashfree’s Order Id column in the Transaction Report
The Shopify Payment ID is passed to Cashfree as the order_id. Cashfree’s order_id in turn maps to Cashfree’s cf_payment_id. You can use the Cashfree order_id to retrieve payment details via Cashfree APIs or webhooks.
  • Cashfree has introduced order tags in Shopify that include payment and discount details. Merchants experiencing a mismatch between the paid amount (such as with the 5% UPI discount) and the Shopify order total can resolve this by reinstalling the Cashfree plugin.
  • Shopify has restricted payment apps from passing or adding payment-related information to Order Tags. Cashfree can no longer populate the Transaction ID in Shopify Order Tags. Match transactions using Shopify’s Payment ID and Cashfree’s Order Id as described above.

​
Troubleshooting

These issues occur when the Cashfree Payments - Cards app is installed instead of the 1Cashfree plugin. The Cashfree Payments - Cards app does not support PayPal or the full Cashfree checkout experience.To resolve this, install the correct plugin from the Shopify App Store. Once installed, complete the account connection in Shopify to activate the payment gateway. PayPal and all other supported payment methods will then appear on the Cashfree checkout.
