Bermudian-based online payments solutions provider First Atlantic Commerce will now be able to support merchants using the Shopify platform, thanks to a new plug-in.

The FAC Shopify plug-in was developed by Webgold, a web and application development studio, and will allow merchants around the world to accept payments from their Shopify website via FAC.

Shopify is the leading cloud-based, multichannel commerce platform designed for small and medium-sized businesses. Merchants can use the software to design, set up, and manage their stores across multiple sales channels, and the platform provides merchants with a powerful back-office and a single view of their business. Shopify currently powers over 500,000 businesses in approximately 175 countries.

The new plugin extension is available for purchase through Webgold’s website at https://webgold.co/products/first-atlantic-commerce-shopify-plugin.

FAC works with banks across the Caribbean, Central America, Bermuda, Europe, US and Mauritius. The Shopify plugin enables merchants to accept payments using FAC with direct settlement to the webstore’s merchant account in these jurisdictions.

“We have seen growing interest in Shopify over the years, but until now we were not able to support merchants on this platform. Webgold developed the plugin to accommodate our mutual merchants and provide an easy way to connect to their Shopify website,” said FAC’s senior vice-president, business development and marketing, Tricia Lines Hill.
