A careful Default and Shopify build
Shopify Default Payment Gateway Integration, Connected, Tested and Documented
A Shopify default payment gateway integration starts with a fact most merchants miss: you cannot pick which method is highlighted at checkout, because express options are chosen per customer from their device. What you control is which methods are enabled, the primary gateway and, on Plus, the order and rules. Third-party gateways add a Shopify fee. We configure and test, from $390.
- Primary gateway and enabled methods chosen
- Express options checked on device types
- Rules for hiding or ordering methods on Plus
- Test log and a recorded handover

Who this is for
Six Kinds of Store We Build Shopify Default Payment Gateway Integration For
Checkout payment choices drive conversion and fees. These are the cases we build for.
You are a good fit if
- Your store runs on Shopify
- You have, or will open, a Default account
- You want a fixed price and a written scope
- You can share the access we ask for
Stores choosing a gateway
Shopify Payments is the built-in default, powered by Stripe, where available.
Stores wanting a default method
Merchants cannot set the default express method; it is chosen dynamically.
Stores weighing fees
Third-party gateways carry a Shopify transaction fee that Shopify Payments does not.
Plus stores
Methods can be hidden or reordered by cart or location in Plus tools.
Stores in unsupported countries
Shopify Payments is only available in certain countries.
Stores securing admin
Two-step authentication is required for Shopify Payments.
Problems solved

The outcome
Time is wasted. We explain what is controllable.
The problem

The problem
Unsupported region

The problem
Too many methods
The outcome
Choice overwhelms. We prune.
The problem
No two-step login
The outcome
Activation blocked. We enable.
The problem
No handover
The outcome
Setup is unwritten. We document it.

How We Wire Default to Your Store, Step by Step
An integration is best judged when you can see it. The picture shows the pieces we build for Default: the records on each side, the status of every link and the log a person can read.

Six Stages From Brief to Live Default Sync
Six stages, in order. Nothing touches live data until you have seen it work on a copy, and your calculator choices decide how long each stage takes.
- 1
Brief and scope
First we find out what you sell, how your team uses Default and which events count. A quick look at your orders and requests tells us where to begin and what to avoid.
- 2
Access and connection
You approve narrow access to Shopify and Default, using an API key or token kept in a secure vault. We confirm the connection with a live read before building on it.
- 3
Map and rule
Together we map order id, customer email, payload and response code, decide which system wins each clash and write down how blanks behave.
- 4
Build in a copy
A copy comes first: test data only, a visible plan and, where helpful, a recorded run.
- 5
Test on real cases
The tests cover a form lead, a wholesale enquiry and a meeting request, along with refunds and edits, and we check each result against Shopify.
- 6
Go live and hand over
On your approval the flow is switched on and monitored through its first runs, and you receive notes, a diagram and a quick video tour.

Default Native App, Automation Platform, Freelance Gig or Our Shopify Default Payment Gateway Integration?
There are four common ways to connect Shopify and Default. This table compares the checks that decide whether the data stays right, whether failures are noticed and whether you can pass the link to someone else.
| What matters | Do it yourself | No-code platform | Freelancer | Store Design Expert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Careful field-by-field mapping | Out-of-the-box fields | When you set it up | Depends on the seller | Yes |
| Duplicates blocked by a unique key | Rarely handled | Possible with effort | Rarely | Yes |
| Failed runs raise an alert | No | Only if you add it | Not usually | Yes |
| Edge cases checked: refunds, edits | Rarely | When you test | Depends | Yes |
| Fixed price up front | Plan fees only | Fees plus your hours | Yes | Yes |
| Written notes and recorded handover | No | No | Seldom | Yes |
| You own every account | Yes | Yes | Varies | Yes |
| Support after launch | Help desk of the vendor | Help desk of the platform | Depends | Included window |
Inside every project
Six Safeguards Built Into Every Default Integration
None of these costs extra. They are simply how we work.
Failures raise a flag
Failed runs notify a named person with the order and the cause, so silence cannot hide a problem.
A written definition of done
A flow is finished when it handles a form lead, a wholesale enquiry and a meeting request correctly and the results are logged.
Secrets kept in a vault
Tokens and keys are stored in a secure vault, never pasted into notes or chat.
Build in a copy, never live
We never build on live data: the flow is tested on test records and your real orders and requests wait for your approval.
Narrow access, in your name
We request only the permissions the flow needs, via an API key or token kept in a secure vault, and you own every account.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
The price is visible before you pay, and in-scope changes get two structured rounds, so small tweaks never turn into hourly bills.

Build Your Default Integration Package
Choose a package, tell us about your order volume, data direction and existing Default data, then pick a speed. The fixed price and delivery window update with each selection.
Request a custom quote
Projects beyond these packages, such as bespoke objects, heavy history loads, multi-store designs or a custom API build, are scoped and quoted at a fixed price after a short call.

Why Store Design Expert
Why Hire Us to Connect Default and Shopify
Most of this job is clicking, and you could do it. People hire us because the unglamorous parts, ids, timing and edge cases, decide whether the connection helps or hurts.
A price you can plan around
The calculator shows the price and extra days for every package and option. Default bills its own plan fees, so check its current pricing page.
Experience since 2015
More than 450 Shopify stores have passed through our hands, so we have met most of the quirks that interfere with integrations.
We live inside Shopify
Orders, refunds, edits and metafields are what we handle every day, which is a different skill from knowing Default's menus.
Safety designed in
Retries, alerts, unique keys and narrow access are in every build, not offered as extras.
Notes a colleague can follow
We document what moves where and which settings we picked, so the next developer starts informed.

What we need to get started
What to Prepare Before We Start Your Default Integration
Three things get the work moving: safe access, a few answers and a decision-maker. Here is the detail.
Approve a collaborator request
Already trading? Share the store address and accept our collaborator request. You remain the owner, we see only what the role allows, and you can remove us whenever you like.
Starting from nothing? We build first
No store yet? We build it in our Partner account, connect Default there and transfer the whole store to you, so you choose a plan only at the end.
Or share a staff login
Sharing a staff login is possible. The collaborator route is safer, though: one click removes it and no password is passed around.
Your Default access
Create the account yourself and invite us, or ask us to create it with your email. Either way you hold the owner role, and we use an API key or token kept in a secure vault.
Sample records
Tell us where typical records live, or send a handful from each system. Real examples beat assumptions.
A decision-maker
We need one person to approve the plan and the test, plus a rule for what wins when Default and Shopify clash.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.

FAQ
Questions About Default and Shopify Integration
Answers on cost, timing, access, data and what to do when the connection misbehaves.
How much does Shopify Default payment gateway integration cost?
Single Workflow costs $390, Core Workflows $790 and Full Integration $1490. Order volume, data direction, existing Default data and add-ons change the total, and the calculator shows it before you pay. Most projects land between about $390 and $2090, with delivery from 3 to 14 working days.
How long does the Default integration take?
Single Workflow takes 3 to 5 working days, Core Workflows 5 to 9 and Full Integration 8 to 14. The usual variables are how much history you want loaded and how quickly you approve the test results. The Sooner and Fastest options shorten the schedule when a launch date is fixed.
