Checkout
Express wallets: Apple Pay and Google Pay
The Express checkout block shows Apple Pay and Google Pay buttons to shoppers whose device offers them.
Turn it on
- The Standard and Classic split presets include the block, switched on.
- The other presets do not show it until you save. Saving adds it above the form, switched on, unless the page already has 14 blocks. Add Express checkout from the row of block buttons under the Blocks list.
- Drag the block to the top for an express lane above the form.
- Keep at least one wallet on, or nothing shows.
Leaving it on costs nothing. A shopper only sees a button their own device offers. If there is no wallet on the device, or nothing set up on your side, the checkout shows the normal form.
Apple Pay needs one extra step
Apple only shows its button on a domain it has verified. Until your checkout domain is registered as a payment domain, the button stays hidden on Safari.
- Make sure your checkout domain is live.
- If you log in to your own payment account, open Settings, Checkout, Apple Pay.
- Choose the self-hosted option and add your checkout domain.
You do not upload anything. The file Apple looks for is already served on your checkout domain. Google Pay needs none of this.
Subscription carts
On a subscription cart, the wallet saves the shopper's payment method for the renewals, so a consent line shows with the buttons. The buttons do not show on every payment field on a subscription cart. Whether they show there depends on your store.
You can pick the wording: Standard (recommended), Short, Like Shopify, Full, or Hidden. Like Shopify and Hidden show a warning first, because that disclosure then becomes yours to make. Nothing changes until you confirm.
