Payments, Swiss-style
TWINT, cards and invoice payment: what Shopify Payments does for Swiss merchants, what each order costs, and what to check before launch, cited to Shopify's own pages.
Shopify, for Switzerland
Build your Swiss store with confidence.
English-language Shopify guides for Swiss merchants: Swiss VAT, TWINT, Swiss Post shipping and pricing in CHF.
What you will find here
Global tutorials assume the EU or the US. Switzerland is neither: different VAT, different payment habits, different carriers. These guides start from that fact.
Swiss VAT, oriented
What the obligations are and where the Federal Tax Administration states the figures: orientation with the authority named, never presented as tax advice.
Delivery that arrives
Swiss Post and the courier options small stores actually use, plus returns handled the way Swiss customers expect.
