Checkout Customization Use Cases
Real-world solutions for the most common Shopify checkout challenges. Each guide walks you through setting up a Payflow rule step by step.
Hide a Payment Method by Country on Shopify
Show Cash on Delivery only for domestic orders, restrict iDEAL to the Netherlands, or hide a payment method entirely for international customers — using a simple shipping country condition.
Cash on Delivery with a Fee on Shopify
Setting up Cash on Delivery payments with an added fee doesn't need to be complicated. Payflow uses a keyword-based approach to link your COD payment with a dedicated shipping rate — no order editing required.
Rename a Payment Method at Shopify Checkout
Override the name customers see for any payment method at checkout — whether for localization, branding, or adding useful context to a generic name.
Reorder Payment Methods at Shopify Checkout
The order payment methods appear at checkout directly influences which one customers choose. Move your preferred option to the top to improve conversion rates and steer customers toward lower-cost payment methods.
B2B Payment Rules on Shopify
Show invoice payment, net 30 terms, or bank transfer exclusively for business customers — while keeping the standard checkout clean for retail buyers.
Hide a Shipping Method by Postcode on Shopify
Show local delivery only to customers in your service area, or hide express shipping for remote postcodes — driven by the customer's shipping postcode at checkout.
Prepaid Order Discounts & Hide COD on Shopify
Incentivize customers to choose prepaid payment methods by creating discounts that automatically hide Cash on Delivery at checkout — reducing return rates and improving cash flow.
Hide Cash on Delivery for High-Value Orders on Shopify
Automatically remove Cash on Delivery from the checkout when an order total exceeds your risk threshold — protecting your business from refusal-at-door losses on expensive orders.
Hide a Payment Method by Customer Tag on Shopify
Use customer tags to control which payment methods appear at checkout. Show invoice payment only for wholesale-tagged customers, or hide COD for flagged accounts.
Hide a Payment Method for Specific Products on Shopify
Restrict which payment methods are available based on what's in the customer's cart — hide COD for digital goods, block BNPL for gift cards, or show custom methods for specific collections.
Hide a Payment Method When a Discount is Applied on Shopify
Automatically remove COD or other payment methods when a discount code is applied — ensuring promotional discounts are only available with prepaid payment methods.
Show or Hide Payment Methods by Cart Value on Shopify
Control which payment methods appear based on the order total — show buy-now-pay-later only above a minimum, hide COD for expensive orders, or offer bank transfer for wholesale-size carts.
Rename a Shipping Method at Shopify Checkout
Override shipping rate names displayed at checkout — translate them for international markets, replace carrier codes with friendly names, or add helpful delivery time estimates.
Hide Shipping Methods by Cart Weight on Shopify
Automatically hide shipping options that aren't suitable for the customer's cart weight — remove express shipping for heavy orders, or hide parcel locker options when items exceed size limits.
Set Payment Rules per Shopify Market
Configure payment method availability per Shopify Market — show regional payment methods like iDEAL, BLIK, or SEPA only in their respective markets, and hide methods that don't apply internationally.
Hide Express Checkout Buttons on Shopify
Remove express checkout buttons (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal Express) from the checkout — either globally or based on conditions like cart value, customer tag, or country.
Add Payment Instructions at Shopify Checkout
Show custom instructional text below any payment method at checkout — display IBAN details for bank transfers, delivery terms for COD, or invoicing details for B2B customers.
Use Product Metafields to Control Payment Methods on Shopify
Use Shopify metafields to create advanced payment rules — hide COD for products flagged as 'fragile', restrict BNPL based on a custom product attribute, or control methods via customer metafield values.
Hide Cash on Delivery for Specific Products on Shopify
Block Cash on Delivery for specific products — digital goods, fragile items, or high-risk categories — using product tags, collections, variant SKUs, or product types.
Add a Payment Method Surcharge on Shopify
Add a surcharge to a specific payment method (e.g. Razorpay, bank transfer) by pairing a fee shipping rate with two Payflow rules — so the fee only appears when the customer selects that method.
Rename Shipping Methods for B2B Customers on Shopify
Show different shipping rate names for B2B customers — such as 'Wholesale Freight (3–5 days)' instead of 'Standard Shipping' — using customer tags or native B2B conditions.
Show or Hide Shipping by Customer Tag or Discount on Shopify
Show exclusive shipping rates for specific customer groups or discount conditions — such as free shipping only for VIP-tagged customers, or a wholesale rate that appears only when a discount code is applied.
