# How do I activate the Shopify AccelPay Payments App?

## Stay three-tier compliant with the first Shopify-approved native payments app for Shopify.

The [AccelPay Payments App](https://apps.shopify.com/accelpay-payments-1) is the first 100% compliant alcohol payment app for the Shopify ecosystem. It acts entirely in the background so that the user experience is never interrupted; the customer completes the check-out experience in Shopify as they would have previously.

### **Installation**

*Before you can install the App, AccelPay needs to authorise your store to use the Payments App. Reach out to your Account Manager or to s[uccess@accelpay.io](mailto:success@accelpay.io)and get your Store authorised, then follow the below steps:*

1. Log in to Shopify as a ***Store owner***.
2. Click the [installation link](https://accounts.shopify.com/store-login?no_redirect=true&redirect=%2Fadmin%2Fsettings%2Fpayments%2Falternative-providers%2F45809665) to install the App.  
   If that does not work, visit the [App Listing Page](https://apps.shopify.com/accelpay-payments-1) and click “Install”
3. In Shopify, Navigate to **Settings** in the bottom left and then **Paymen**t in the settings view.
4. Click **Manage** in the top right of the existing payment provider's bubble:
