This capability enables customers to pay at locations outside Shopify's ecosystem while maintaining a seamless checkout experience.
Key points

- Retailers do not need to add new integrations to enable this off-platform checkout functionality.

Limitations
The evidence indicates capability but does not specify the number of supported locations, the specific types of card credentials used, or the operational impact on existing merchants.
