Fygaro Shopify Integration for Caribbean Merchants

Fygaro is a payments and e-commerce platform used by merchants across the Caribbean and Latin America. Because Shopify Payments isn't available across most of the Caribbean, we connect your Fygaro account to your Shopify checkout so you accept card and PayPal payments online.

Straight Answer

What is Fygaro?

Fygaro is a payments and e-commerce platform, based in Panama, used by merchants across the Caribbean and Latin America. It provides payment links, a hosted online store and checkout, invoicing and tap-to-pay tools, built on established card-processing infrastructure such as PowerTranz (First Atlantic Commerce). Fygaro accepts Visa, Mastercard and PayPal, and deposits takings into your own local bank account. It is not a bank. Paperless Blueprint connects Fygaro to Shopify and live-tests it — one of more than ten gateways we integrate.

The Caribbean Payments Problem

Why Caribbean Shopify Stores Can't Take Cards Out of the Box

The Wall You're Hitting

  • Shopify Payments isn't available across most of the Caribbean, so your Shopify store can't take cards out of the box.
  • You have (or want) a Fygaro account, but Fygaro doesn't publish an official Shopify app to plug it in.
  • You want customers to be able to pay by card or PayPal on a checkout that looks and feels trusted.
  • You want takings landing in your own local bank account, not a foreign wallet you have to withdraw from.

How We Fix It With Fygaro

  • We build the custom connection between your Fygaro account and your Shopify checkout — a genuine build, not a plug-and-play install, because Fygaro doesn't offer one.
  • We wire up card and PayPal acceptance on your Shopify checkout using your Fygaro account, and test it end to end.
  • Your checkout stays branded and built on PCI-DSS-aware infrastructure, so customers pay with confidence.
  • Card and PayPal takings settle into your own local bank account, through the processing infrastructure Fygaro already uses.
The Process

How We Add Fygaro to Your Shopify Store

  1. Scope your Fygaro setup

    Tell us about your Fygaro account; we confirm what's needed to connect it to your Shopify store.

  2. Build the connection

    Fygaro has no native Shopify app, so we build the custom integration that wires your Fygaro account into your Shopify checkout.

  3. Test a live payment

    We run a real card or PayPal payment through checkout before go-live, so you see it work before your customers do.

  4. Go live & get paid

    Your store starts taking card and PayPal payments, with takings settling into your own local bank account.

Platform, Not Just a Gateway

How is Fygaro different from a raw payment gateway like PowerTranz?

Fygaro isn't a raw payment gateway you integrate directly — it's a payments and e-commerce platform that sits on top of established card-processing infrastructure such as PowerTranz (First Atlantic Commerce), adding payment links, a hosted online store, invoicing and tap-to-pay tools on top. Several Caribbean banks offer Fygaro as part of their own merchant services, including CIBC Caribbean and RBC, and it lists Republic Bank and First Citizens among its bank partners. If you'd rather connect directly to your bank's underlying gateway instead of going through Fygaro, see our PowerTranz Shopify payment gateway page.

Bank-partner relationships per Fygaro's own site and each bank's merchant-services pages. We build the Shopify connection either way — directly on PowerTranz or through your Fygaro account.

Fygaro is one of the ways Caribbean merchants take card and PayPal payments on Shopify — some of the same banks it partners with have their own Shopify payment gateway pages: see Republic Bank, First Citizens, CIBC Caribbean and RBC Shopify payment gateways, or connect directly to the PowerTranz (First Atlantic Commerce) gateway underneath. Comparing options? See our YOOZ Shopify integration and WiPay Shopify integration, or the full Shopify payment gateway hub.

We build and test the custom connection between your Fygaro account and your Shopify store.

Fygaro Shopify FAQs

Fygaro is a payments and e-commerce platform, based in Panama, used by merchants across the Caribbean and Latin America. It offers payment links, a hosted online store and checkout, invoicing and tap-to-pay tools, built on established card-processing infrastructure. Fygaro accepts Visa, Mastercard and PayPal, and deposits takings into your own local bank account.

No. Fygaro is a payments and e-commerce platform, not a bank — it partners with banks rather than being one. Several Caribbean banks, including CIBC Caribbean and RBC, offer Fygaro as part of their own merchant services, and Fygaro also lists Republic Bank and First Citizens among its bank partners. Your money still settles into your own bank account.

No — Fygaro publishes a WooCommerce plugin but doesn't ship an official Shopify app. That's why connecting Fygaro to Shopify is a custom build rather than an app-store install: Paperless Blueprint wires your Fygaro account into your Shopify checkout and tests it with a real payment before you go live.

Fygaro operates across 35+ countries in the Caribbean and Latin America. We build and support the Shopify integration for merchants in Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica and Barbados — if you're in one of these and already have (or want) a Fygaro account, we can connect it to your Shopify store.

Fygaro accepts Visa and Mastercard credit and debit cards, and supports PayPal as a payment method if you enable it in your Fygaro account. Paperless Blueprint sets up your Shopify checkout to accept whichever of these your Fygaro account is configured for.

Card and PayPal takings from your Shopify checkout are processed through Fygaro and deposited into your own local bank account — not a shared, pooled balance you have to withdraw from. Your online revenue lands in the bank account you already run your business from.

No. Paperless Blueprint is an independent Shopify integrator. We are not Fygaro and not a bank, and we are not partnered with, authorised by, endorsed by, or certified by Fygaro or any bank it works with. We build and test the custom connection between the Fygaro account you already hold and your Shopify store.
