Hide express checkout options

​

Rule overview

This rule allows you to hide express checkout buttons such as PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Shop Pay at the top of the checkout page based on given conditions.

​

Sample configuration

The following steps show how to create and configure a Hide Express Checkout Options rule using the app.

​

Create a new rule

From your Shopify admin, open the app. In the sidebar, go to the Rules section and click “Create Rule”. Then, You’ll be redirected to the Select checkout rule type screen. Choose category “Payment” → select checkout rule type “Hide Express Checkout Options” → click “Select Rule”. Then, a checkout layout selection popup will appear. Choose an option based on your store setup, either 1 page checkout or 3 page checkout. If you are using one page checkout on your store, then you should select 1 page checkout. If you are using 3 page checkout, then you should select 3 page checkout. Next, you’ll land on the Create new hide express checkout options rule screen, where you can configure your rule.

​

Rule configuration

To configure the rule, first optionally we can add a name such as “Hide express checkout options” to describe what it does. Then, select the rule status: Testing, Active, or Deactivated. Here we are going to choose Testing status, so we can quickly test the rule without affecting the checkout for actual customers. Next, if you selected 1 page checkout in the previous step, you will need to set up your payment methods as required in the rule setup. Click Mark as done for each method once you have followed the instructions to configure it. Optionally, you can add conditions if you want to control when the rule should execute. Or, if you selected 3 page checkout in the previous step, you will need to choose whether to hide or show the payment methods listed in the screen below for both the Checkout information page and the Checkout payment page. Optionally, you can add conditions if you want to control when the rule should execute for both pages. Finally, click the Save button at the top to create and save your rule.

​

Test the rule

Since, the rule is set to testing status, we have to use test@testing.com as the email, instead of the actual email, to run the rule at checkout. After setting the email, the checkout rule runs and you’ll see the PayPal express payment button is hidden, as shown below.

​

Activate the rule

Once testing is done, we can activate the rule, so it can start making changes to the checkout for actual customers. Only activated rules can make changes to the checkout for all customers. Click on Rules in the sidebar to view all rules. Select the rule you want to activate, then click the Activate button to activate it.
