Shopify have recently introduced a new feature, Shopify Bill Pay. The new addition to the platform is designed to make it easier for merchants to manage their bills and payments, streamlining the process and saving time and effort all within their platform.
The feature allows merchants to view and pay bills directly within the Shopify platform, rather than having to manage bills across multiple systems. This can help simplify the process of managing expenses, as all bill-related information is located in one place. Perfect for both small and large DTC brands.
Shopify Bill Pay is currently available to merchants in the United States and Canada, United Kingdom and can be used to pay bills from a range of service providers, including utilities, internet and phone providers, and insurance companies. Merchants can also set up recurring payments, helping to automate the process of paying bills on a regular basis. Whilst there's been no talk of when this will be rolled out the United Kingdom, we're confident it wont be long.
