Using the checkout editor

Shopify Plus

The checkout editor is available only to certain merchants on the Shopify Plus plan.

The checkout editor is a tool that lets you customize and edit the functionality and the appearance of your checkout in a single place that's separate from your theme editor.

Before you start customizing your checkout, learn how to access and navigate the checkout editor.

Checkout editor sections

You can access the checkout editor in Settings > Checkout > Checkout customization section from your Shopify admin.

The checkout editor has two main sections—Settings and Sections:

• In the Settings section, you can customize the appearance of your checkout.
• In the Sections section, you can customize the functionality of your checkout.

Accessing the Settings section
