Hello! Is there a setting to collapse the “Ship to” section at checkout rather than having it always expanded? I’m looking to clean up our checkout. Thank you!
Hi @caitlinwiman,
This should be possible with Shopify Checkout Blocks app:
Thank you! We have checkout blocks but I do not see this setting anywhere. If you have any insight, I would love any guidance. Thank you so much!
Hello! Thanks for reaching out 
At the moment, the “Ship to” section is designed to remain expanded by default during checkout, and there isn’t a native setting to collapse it automatically.
That said, depending on your platform and plan, this can sometimes be adjusted with custom checkout styling or scripts. For example, on Shopify this is only possible with checkout customization options (such as Shopify Plus), while on other platforms it may depend on theme or checkout configuration.
If you can let me know which platform you’re using, I’d be happy to advise on what customization options are available to help streamline the checkout experience.
Thank you! We’re on Shopify Plus and use checkout blocks to customize.
Thanks for confirming!
Since you’re on Shopify Plus and using Checkout Blocks, you do have more control over your checkout. Right now, there isn’t a simple setting to collapse the “Ship to” section by default, but it can be adjusted with some customization.
If any of this sounds confusing, don’t worry, I’d be happy to take a look at your checkout and help make it cleaner for your customers.
Since you’re confirmed on Plus with Checkout Blocks, here’s the honest picture: Checkout Blocks is great for injecting content (banners, custom fields, etc.) into the checkout, but it doesn’t expose controls over native Shopify checkout sections like “Ship to” - that’s just outside what the app is designed to do.
The “Ship to” section is a core Shopify-rendered component, and even on Plus, the checkout editor doesn’t give you a collapse/expand toggle for it. What you’d need is a custom Checkout UI Extension - basically a small piece of code deployed to your store that uses CSS targeting or Shopify’s extension APIs to change how that section renders. It’s not a huge project, but it does require a developer who’s worked with Shopify’s checkout extensibility platform.
One thing worth checking first: if most of your customers are logged in with saved addresses, some merchants report the checkout naturally feels less cluttered because Shopify pre-fills and summarizes that section. Not a real fix, but worth knowing if the concern is about visual noise for returning customers.
If you do want to pursue the custom extension route, searching for Shopify Plus checkout customization developers or posting in the Partner directory would be the right next step. A few agencies specialize specifically in checkout extensibility work and could scope it out quickly.
