Businesses running Shopify stores often rely on multiple apps for functionality like marketing, inventory, and analytics. These apps typically charge monthly or annual subscription fees. DogPay offers a practical solution for managing these payments using virtual cards.

To begin, a business must have a DogPay account and fund it with supported stablecoins. Once the account is active, the user can generate a virtual card specifically for Shopify app subscriptions. This card can be assigned a spending limit and used exclusively for recurring payments, helping to isolate costs and improve spend visibility.

The virtual card details are entered into the Shopify app's billing page just like a regular credit card. DogPay supports stablecoin settlement, which can reduce reliance on traditional banking rails for cross-border transactions. The card is compatible with Shopify's payment system provided the merchant accepts Visa or Mastercard network cards.

Businesses may find it useful to create separate virtual cards for different apps or cost centers. This allows for easier tracking and reconciliation. Additionally, DogPay's wallet and payment infrastructure can support payment operations by providing clear transaction records.

It is important to note that DogPay cannot guarantee that all Shopify apps will accept the virtual card, as some merchants may have their own restrictions. However, for most standard transactions, the process is straightforward.

DogPay fits into this payment workflow by providing dedicated virtual cards, global account functionality, stablecoin settlement, and tools for spend management. Businesses can use DogPay to streamline their Shopify app subscription payments while maintaining control over their budget.
