Changing text at the bottom of Checkout page

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user successfully removed default policy links from their checkout page footer by linking policies to pages and using spaces in the theme content. However, this left the checkout footer blank, which looks unprofessional.

Current Issue:

  • User wants to add custom text (similar to “Secure checkout by Melbourne’s finest”) to replace the blank space
  • Attached screenshots show the desired outcome versus current blank footer

Solution Provided:
Navigate to Settings > Policies and enter custom text directly into policy fields (e.g., Refund Policy). Shopify will automatically display this text in the checkout footer. This is the primary customization method available without Shopify Plus.

Status: Solution offered, awaiting user confirmation if it resolves the issue.

Hi,
On default on the bottom of the checkout page we have policies, and I made these policies disappear by linking the policies to a page and then editing the default theme content and putting spaces to the policy pages so they disappear on checkout but they keep existing on my main page.

My question is that I want to put a text just like this (i will attach an image below by melbournes finest) and i cant find how. now my checkout page has blank text which doesnt look so good i will attach an image of that too. can someone help me how to put text just like that on the bottom of my checkout page?

thank you!

Hey! @Kakas23 ,

To add a custom text at the bottom of your Shopify checkout page (where the default policy links usually appear), you’ll need to go to Settings > Policies and update one of the policy fields (like the “Refund Policy”) with your desired custom text—this is the only area Shopify allows limited customization without Shopify Plus. Instead of leaving the fields blank or filled with spaces, write your own message (like “Secure checkout by Melbourne’s finest” or anything similar). Shopify will automatically show that text in the checkout footer.
