Ukrainian online stores on Shopify finally have a mature and simple solution for accepting payments: an official integration that allows you to connect Shopify payment acceptance without custom incompatibility workarounds. This means expected work, a quick start and a stable checkout for your customers, both in Ukraine and abroad.

The hutko payment system is an officially supported way to accept online payments on Shopify, combining ease of installation, modern payment methods and transparent financial reporting. The brand is deliberately written with a lowercase letter – this is how the authors emphasize minimalism and focus on easy user experience: from installing the application to each individual transaction.

Who needs it and why now

If you are the owner of a website or online store on Shopify, a Ukrainian entrepreneur or a team developing a local or international eCommerce project, official integration with hutko solves several pain points at once: transparency of payment acceptance, minimum technical settings, support for Apple Pay/Google Pay and bank cards and the payment side. All this directly affects conversion, repeat purchases and brand trust.

What is hutko in simple words

hutko is a modern payment service that provides merchants with an official way to accept payments on Shopify through a separate application. Instead of unofficial “crutches”, scripts or unstable redirects, you get a mature integration that works “as is”: install the application, specify the merchant data, enable the method – and you are already accepting payments. The interface and logic are tailored to the user’s usual path, and the settings are tailored to the time-consuming business team.

Key benefits for Shopify stores

1) Official integration in Ukraine

No need to look for spacers, get into the code or depend on third-party integrators. The official hutko application is installed directly in your store, and the payment method appears in the standard list in the Shopify admin panel. This is a safe and expected way, eliminating unpleasant surprises after platform updates.

2) Quick start without developers

The whole process takes a few minutes: add the application, enter the merchant details, activate the method – and you are ready to accept payments. For small and medium businesses, this is critical: every extra hour of integration is lost turnover.

3) Popular payment methods “out of the box”

Customers can pay for orders with bank cards (Visa / Mastercard / Prostir), as well as through Apple Pay and Google Pay. On the buyer’s side – a few familiar clicks; from the store side — less friction at the final step and a higher percentage of successful transactions.

4) Flexible checkout scenario: redirect payment, hold and quick returns

The integration supports working eCommerce scenarios: redirect to the hutko payment page with careful pickup of order data, temporary hold of funds to confirm fulfillment and prompt refunds in case of cancellation. This way you control the moment of write-off, reduce risks and maintain customer trust.

5) International sales without barriers

The payment page is localized in many languages, accepts payments from different countries and works correctly with currencies — this is convenient if your store is focused not only on Ukraine. Buyers from the EU, USA or other regions feel “at home”, and you do not lose an order due to language or currency barriers.

6) Additional features that impact business metrics

• Fiscalization (PRRO): automatic data transfer to the tax office without unnecessary routine – streamlined accounting from day one.
• Return of abandoned carts: a system of smart reminders with a link to payment, which saves some of the “almost lost” orders.
• Email notification: transactional letters for the buyer and the administrator – transparency and fast communication in any scenario.
• Daily or regular payments: expected credits to the bank account and detailed reporting in the merchant account.

What the buyer’s path looks like

When placing an order, the client selects the hutko payment method and goes to the payment page. The amount, currency and order ID are automatically pulled up. Next, select the payment method (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay) and confirm. The transaction status is synchronized with Shopify, and you can see up-to-date information both in the CMS and in the merchant account.

Step-by-step installation: from zero to accepting payments

1. Install the official hutko application in your Shopify store (via the Shopify App Store).
2. Log in to the admin panel and open the application settings page.
3. Specify the merchant data (ID, keys, other details) provided in hutko account.
4. Go to Settings → Payments, select hutko as a provider and activate the payment method.
5. Create a test order and check the payment, return and hold scenario.

Optimizing conversion on the checkout

Payment conversion is the result of many tiny details: the speed of loading the payment page, the number of fields, localization, familiar payment methods, the possibility of a return with guarantees. hutko works as a “thin layer”, which reduces friction at the final step. In combination with high-quality UX of your store, this gives a noticeable increase in completed transactions and a decrease in bounces.

Finances under control: payments and reporting

Detailed reports, payment history, order statuses and amounts to be paid are available in the merchant account. Regular crediting of funds to a bank account and clear acts allow you to plan working capital: purchases, logistics, marketing activities. Transparency here is your tool for scaling without “dark spots” in finance.

Flexible branding of the payment page

Thanks to the settings in the account, you can add a logo, color scheme and corporate identity elements so that the payment page looks like a natural continuation of the store design. Visual consistency increases trust: the buyer does not feel a “jump” between your site and the payment interface.

Who will especially like hutko × Shopify

• Local businesses that accept payments in hryvnia and want official integration without unnecessary complications.
• Export Internet projects that need convenient international payments, localization and clear work with currencies.
• D2C brands and startups focused on quick launch, hypothesis testing and scaling without the technical “burden” of accepting payments.
• Agencies and studios that assemble stores for clients and value the “install and work” solution that will not break after updating the platform.

How official integration differs from “workaround” solutions

Any unofficial connections are always a compromise between startup speed and stability. Third-party scripts, non-standard redirects, “bridges” through third-party services often cause conflicts after Shopify updates and create a rough UX on the checkout. The official hutko application removes this burden: you work in a supported model, receive updates and service from the provider, and the client sees the expected payment flow.

Questions and Answers (FAQ)

Do I need technical knowledge to connect?

No. The process comes down to installing the application and entering merchant details. If necessary, you can always contact hutko support, but most cases have enough basic actions in the Shopify admin panel.

Are quick refunds supported?

Yes. Refunds can be initiated according to the store policy – they are processed promptly, and the statuses are synchronized between Shopify and the payment side.

How does the hold work?

The store can hold the amount until the order is confirmed. This is useful for pre-sales, custom orders, or when you want to check availability before shipping.

Is the solution suitable for international customers?

Yes. The payment page supports multilingualism and multi-currency support, which makes the payment process convenient for customers from abroad and reduces the number of refusals due to language barriers.

Hutko provides tools for automatic fiscalization (PRRO), so operational accounting becomes simpler and document flow becomes transparent.
