Shopify Payments is the obvious choice if you're already on Shopify—it saves you the hassle of connecting a separate payment gateway and keeps all your sales data in one place. The biggest pro is how tightly it's woven into the Shopify dashboard, making payouts and order tracking simple. The main downside is that it only works within Shopify, so if you ever move platforms, you'll need to switch payment processors too.
