Customizing payment methods and delivery options at checkout

To customize how payment methods and delivery options display to your customers at checkout, stores on the Basic Shopify plan or higher can install and configure a checkout app, and then select the customizations to use at checkout.

App developers and Shopify Partners can create public or custom apps with payment customizations and delivery customizations. Depending on the apps that you install, you can hide, reorder, and rename payment methods and delivery options of your checkout.

App availability

Some apps that customize or extend the checkout are available to businesses who subscribe to the Basic Shopify plan or higher. Available apps won't require the use of the checkout editor, which is a Plus-only checkout extensibility feature.
