As I’m sure you’re aware, Shopify integrates with many different payment processing services. Today, we’re pleased to welcome Skrill, operating the platform Moneybookers to our esteemed roster.
Skrill is one of Europe’s largest online payment systems and offers a safe, quick and convenient way to make and receive payments. As a result of our new payment processing friendship, Shopify merchants can now offer their customers the option of securely purchasing products through Skrill. Given their extensive European presence, this payment gateway is particularly good for global expansion as they offer over 100 payment options from all around the world.

**UPDATE** For those who are going to integrate: "Merchant tools" is part of the business account only (not personal account) and it needs activation. Call Moneybookers customer support and they'll gladly switch you over. If you open an account through the link above, you'll automatically trigger a request for merchant tool activation.
To quote Ralf Wenzel, the COO of Moneybookers parent company, “With only one simple integration, our service allows Shopify merchants to immediately internationalize their stores and attract international customers. In addition our fraud risk prevention on every payment and charge-back protection (which are available upon request) gives merchants an added layer of security.”
If you just read all that and don’t know what a payment gateway is, read this: "A payment gateway is a service that authorizes credit card payments and processes them securely with a user’s merchant account. Often, a merchant account and payment gateway are set up in one process through the same company."

May 11 2011, 07:44PMDoes this gateway allow us as store owners to accept credit cards directly on the Shopify site?
-
May 12 2011, 01:01AMSkrill/Moneybookers is an offsite integration. That means customers will leave the Shopify checkout and get redirected to an external site to enter their credit card information. The process is very straightforward though and I think Skrill did a great job with the payment interface. Hope that answers your question, Will!
Best, Dennis

May 12 2011, 06:03PMI have a moneybookers account for years, now I wanted to connect it with Shopify but I cannot find the merchant tools … ?
3. Implement Moneybookers
Once you have got your Moneybookers account activated you need to activate Moneybookers processing within Shopify, to do this you need to log into the merchant tools section of your Moneybookers account and enter a secret word (different from your password), then log back into your Shopify shop and complete the integration.

May 13 2011, 03:37PMStefan: Thanks for the comment! I’ll try and solve your problem through this comment, but if you still have questions please shoot me an e-mail at mark.hayes@shopify.com
With regard to merchant tools, this section is part of Moneybookers merchant account, and data like secret words, need to be transferred from there to the Shopify platform.
You can refer to page 6 of the activation manual, and that should help you out.

Let me know if that helps!

May 15 2011, 03:36PMWill this work for merchants based in the UAE?

May 16 2011, 04:56AMStefan / Mark: I couldn’t find the “Merchant Tools” menu item in my Moneybookers account either. I called MB support and you need to have a business account with them. If you only have a personal account, the menu item will now be available and you can’t set your secret word.
Just call support and have them switch your account to a business account. I called on Friday and was able to set things up today, so they’re pretty quick.
Hope that helps

May 18 2011, 05:32PMHi,
this sounds very interesting and I setup an account with MB. I am however not sure if we have to pay a monthly fee. Going to this page suggests ~20,- EUR/month.
Is that correct?
Thanks Thomas

May 24 2011, 01:12PMHi,
just to confirm there is no monthly fee and no setup fee.
For the fee schedule go to:

January 15 2013, 02:44PMI have a skrill account and when my customers buy stuff they first need to fill out a form on shopify to get to the next step.. (the offsite integration skrill) and there they need to fill out almost the same info again, before finally paying?!
Isn’t there a faster way? Lot of customers are lost by this. -

July 24 2013, 03:25PMTo UAE merchants – I have worked on my shopify store for a month. In the last steps before going live, I discovered that there are no payment gateways that would work for a shop based in the UAE. A reccomendation is to create your on an independednt platform and incorporate one of the following:
1. Etisalat’s payment gateway
2. 2checkout.com
3. Other companies in Dubai that help integrate gateways into your site. You can google them. -
August 06 2013, 11:54AMMy best recommendation… Stay away from Skrill/Moneybookers.
As a merchant in Latin America Moneybookers (later renamed to Skrill) was a very good choice taking into account the limited options we have.
But after two years they just decided my business was interesting for them (I guess). They just decided that they will close my account and many other. Not because “anything you have done” (their words) or any violation, but because the can or want to. I also spend time to fill a survey before a recent image change of their site to help them be a better business, before their smart decision.
They said the notified me two month before but they didn’t. I just found my customers complaining that they were unable to make payment. After that I have found many business and individuals on the Web with similar situations.
That is the most disrespectful, irresponsible and discriminatory behaviour i’ve seen on any online business.
Do something smart and stay away. -

February 21 2017, 04:25PMI have a shopify account. We are based on Australia but also have overseas customers. We currently use Shopify payments. We found overseas customers (mainly US) does not have international transaction activated on their credit card. And they are unable to use this payment option. Does Skrill allows credit card charged on different countries locally?
