Krown vs Shopify Payments
Shopify Payments is Shopify's native gateway. Customizing the checkout, however, requires Shopify Plus, which starts at $2,300/month.
Shopify Payments is fine if the default checkout works for you. If you want to customize it, you have to pay for Plus. Krown gives you a custom checkout on any Shopify plan, with no upgrade.
Why Krown wins for your case
- Custom checkout without Plus
To touch the checkout on Shopify you have to upgrade to Plus: ~$2,300/month, ~$28K/year. Krown gives you a custom checkout, subscriptions and CRO tooling on Basic, Grow and Advanced.
- Conversion tooling Shopify does not have
Pre-payment order bumps, dispute auto-refund, abandoned-cart with UTM, server + client pixel dedup. Stock Shopify has none of these; the apps that try to fill the gap cost more than Krown by themselves.
- Coexists with Shopify Payments
Krown does not replace Shopify Payments as a gateway: it changes the checkout. What runs at payment time is still your standard Shopify stack, just streamlined.
