Merchant considerations

Wompi should be assessed for technical and commercial fit before activation on Shopify.

Confirm country availability before onboarding

Use the correct Wompi country environment for Colombia or Panama — they have separate setups.

Confirm settlement currency and payout timing

Settlement currency rules differ between COP and USD environments. Confirm payout timing with Wompi before launch.

Review refund, dispute and chargeback rules

Full refunds are supported. Partial refunds and dispute process workflows need verification with Wompi.

Use tokenisation and acceptance tokens

Avoid storing sensitive payment data directly. Use Wompi's tokenisation and acceptance token flows.

Confirm high-risk industry eligibility

Wompi approval is required for regulated or high-risk industries including financial services and cryptocurrency.

Compare Wompi with common alternatives

Wompi is the best choice when local checkout fit in Colombia and Panama matters more than generic international coverage.
