Editing the checkout form options

You can edit some of the fields on your checkout pages to be required, optional, or hidden.

For example, some customers don't like to provide their phone number during an online checkout, so they might abandon their cart if you make it a required field. In some cases your payment provider or shipping carrier might require a customer to provide a phone number to complete the checkout.

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Checkout.
