Przelewy24 integration with Shopify store – merchant ID, CRC key, API and payment configuration
Obtaining a Merchant ID
Merchants must log in to the Przelewy24 transaction panel and find their merchant ID, which is a numeric login assigned to their account. This ID will be needed to integrate Przelewy24 with Shopify .
Obtaining the CRC key and API key
After logging in to the Przelewy24 transaction panel, the merchant must go to the " My Details " tab. This is where the CRC key and API key, which are required for the Shopify integration to function properly, will be available. The CRC key is used to generate and verify transaction signatures, while the API key is used to authorize communication between the Shopify store and Przelewy24.
Activating and setting up a payment method in Shopify
Once the merchant has all the necessary information, they should log in to their Shopify admin. Then, they should go to the " Settings " section and select " Payments ." From there, the merchant can activate Przelewy24 as a payment method and enter all the required details, such as the merchant ID, CRC key, and API key. After saving the settings, the Przelewy24 payment method will be ready to use in their store.

There, you'll find our app, where you can enter your Merchant ID and API keys you obtained earlier. The entire integration process takes between 2-3 weeks, with account verification taking up a significant portion of the time.
Does any other Polish gateway work with Shopify?
On paper, yes. In reality, only a few offer full, stable integration with Shopify. Some have official apps, others require manual API connection. Sometimes, something is missing—refunds handling, payment notifications, support for other currencies.
Sometimes everything works until an update. Then the integration breaks down, and the store stops accepting payments. It's hard to say who should fix it—the owner, the operator, or perhaps a third party. In such situations, lack of preparation is the most costly.
