Availability
American Express is enabled by default for all stores and works in all regions where storekit Payments is available.
Disabling American Express
Some merchants prefer not to accept Amex due to higher processing fees. To disable Amex for your store, contact support.
Amex can be disabled on a per-store basis. If you have multiple stores, let support know which stores you’d like to disable it for.
Why Disable Amex?
| Reason | Consideration |
|---|
| Higher fees | Amex typically charges higher processing fees than Visa/Mastercard |
| Customer base | If few of your customers use Amex, the higher fees may not be worth it |
Why Keep Amex Enabled?
| Reason | Consideration |
|---|
| Customer preference | Some customers exclusively use Amex for rewards |
| Higher spending | Amex cardholders often have higher average order values |
| Business customers | Many corporate cards are Amex |
If you’re unsure, we recommend keeping Amex enabled. The convenience for customers often outweighs the slightly higher processing fees.
