Shopify is enabling Managed Payment Methods by default on 27 May 2026. No action is needed to activate it. If you're on Shopify Payments, it will simply turn on. Here's what it actually does: ✅ Local payment methods are activated automatically based on where your buyers are located ✅ The checkout order is personalised per customer using conversion data, purchase history, and regional trends ✅ New local payment methods are added over time without any manual setup ✅ Personalisation applies across all payment methods, including third-party providers ✅ Your payment customisation functions continue to work alongside it A buyer in Belgium sees Bancontact. A buyer in Poland sees BLIK. The most relevant options surface first, without any manual configuration. A few things worth knowing. If you already have a third-party version of a payment method installed, Shopify won't automatically activate a duplicate via Shopify Payments. You manage that switch manually. And if you deactivate a method yourself, Managed Payment Methods won't reactivate it. Shopify Network Intelligence is required for the feature to work. If SNI isn't active on your store, you'll be prompted to enable it when the feature rolls out. You can opt out at any time from Settings > Payments, or disable individual methods while keeping the feature on.
