Verdict
Choose Mistok
if you need minimal fees, control over the code, the standard Shopify Checkout, mono/PrivatBank installments and sales to Poland.
Choose TM Payment Apps
if payment has to happen inside the checkout and you are ready to pay ≈ 2.75% on top plus ₴17 625 for installation.
Choose Chekly / GetCheckout
if a Nova Poshta branch picker in the payment window and upsells matter more than the risk of store suspension and dependence on a subscription.
