Managing your live and draft checkout configurations

You can create multiple versions of your checkout, thank you, order status and customer accounts pages and save them as drafts. Draft configurations let you try different apps and branding before you make them live. You can also customize, set up, and test draft configurations prior to seasonal sales or BFCM to make sure that your checkout is ready for any high-peak periods.

Stores on the Shopify Plus plan can have up to 99 draft configurations and stores on Basic, Shopify and Advanced plans can have up to 20 draft configurations.

You can view, rename, duplicate, and publish your configurations. Your live and draft configuration names aren't displayed to your customers.

If you want to customize any of your configurations, then refer to Customizing your configurations and Customizing the style of your checkout.
