Hide, rename or sort payment methods at Shopify checkout

Payment rules hide, rename or move payment methods at checkout, for example to hide Cash on Delivery for orders over $500 or show Invoice only to company buyers.

Hide or move a payment method for everyone

1. Go to Payments and select Add rule.
2. Enter a Name. Leave Conditions empty, so the rule runs on every checkout.
3. Under What to do, select Add action and choose Hide or Move.
4. Under Payment method, pick a wallet, or choose Type a name… and enter the name exactly as checkout shows it.
5. Select Save.

Add a payment rule with conditions

1. Go to Payments and select Add rule.
2. Enter a Name.
3. Under Conditions, select Add condition, such as Cart subtotal is over $500.
4. Under What to do, select Add action and choose one:
   • Hide: pick the Payment method. Under Hide from, choose Everywhere or Express buttons only.
   • Rename: pick the method and enter the New name. Select Edit translations to set it per language.
   • Move: pick the method and choose First, Last or At a position.
5. Check At checkout on the right, then select Save.

To show a method only in some cases, hide it when the opposite is true, for example hide Invoice when B2B buyer is No. The templates Show Invoice only to company buyers and Wholesale payment, by customer tag are set up this way for you.

Rules stay a draft until you publish them.

Charge a fee for Cash on Delivery

Checkout can’t add a fee to a payment method. Instead, offer a delivery option that includes the fee, and show Cash on Delivery only when customers pick it.

1. Add a delivery option whose name includes “Cash on Delivery” and whose price includes the fee, for example “Standard + Cash on Delivery”. Make it in Bird Shipping & Delivery Rates or in Shopify’s shipping settings.
2. In Bird Checkout Rules, go to Payments, select Templates, and add Cash on Delivery only with its delivery option.
3. Open the rule and check the Payment method and the delivery option name it looks for.
4. Select Test checkout. If that option is listed under More > Delivery picked, pick it to check that Cash on Delivery shows only then. Otherwise check it with Open real checkout.
5. Publish.

You can also ask Ask Bird, for example “Add a $5 fee for Cash on Delivery”. It drafts the rule for you.

Good to know

• Wallets such as Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay can be hidden, not moved or renamed.
• Express buttons only needs Shopify Plus. On other plans, Shopify hides the method everywhere.
• Shopify doesn’t share your store’s payment methods with apps, so type each name as checkout shows it. To match a name that changes, choose contains or starts with under Compare.
• If you rename a method in Shopify, update your rules.
