Base order

Which payment methods are at the top of checkout, and in which order.

What it does

The payment methods you enter appear at the top of checkout, in the order of the list. All others follow in the order Shopify gives them. An entry the store doesn't currently offer is skipped.

The base order always applies, unless a rule with the action "Custom order" matches. Then that rule's order applies instead.

Entering payment methods

  1. Type the name of the payment method into the field and press Enter, or click a suggestion below the field. Suggested are the names already on the page and Shopify payment methods whose names we have measured; the name in quotation marks is how they appear at checkout.
  2. Change the order with the handle on the left of the row: drag it, or use Space, the arrow keys and Space again, as with menus in the Shopify admin.
  3. Remove an entry with the trash icon.
  4. Click "Save" in the bar at the top.

Part of the name is enough, and case doesn't matter: "PayPal" also matches "PayPal Express Checkout". A name needs at least 3 characters. Up to 10 entries.

What Shopify decides

  • Shopify sets the order of the express checkout buttons at the top of checkout (Shop Pay, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay). The base order affects the list of payment methods below them.
  • In Shop Pay, order and rules don't apply.
  • Shopify decides which payment method is preselected. It doesn't have to be the top one.
