How Shopify Credit works
We made using Shopify Credit straightforward so you can get the most out of your money and run your business with confidence.
Pay for business expenses with your Shopify Credit card
We ran the numbers, and Shopify entrepreneurs spend the most on wholesale and inventory, marketing and advertising, and shipping and fulfillment.
Next time these expenses come up, try paying for them with your Shopify Credit card. This liberates cash flow for other things while giving you more time to pay for those expenses.
TIP:To rack up rewards even faster,set Shopify Credit as your default payment methodon Shopify and everywhere else you spend on your business where Visa® is accepted.

TIP:If you pay a portion of your Shopify Credit card balance before your statement is due, the remaining balance will be withdrawn on the 25th. If you pay the full amount before the due date, there will be no automatic withdrawals from your designated bank account on the due date.
Earn cashback rewards
With Shopify Credit, you get up to 3% cashback on eligible purchases in your highest spending category between wholesale and inventory, marketing and advertising, and shipping and fulfillment. You’ll earn 1% cashback for eligible purchases in the other two categories.*
Rewards will automatically apply to your account as a statement credit each month. We do the math so you don’t have to, but if you want to see your accrued cashback for the month, you can get a breakdown after each statement period closes in your Shopify admin.
