Hide log in button from checkout page. (Keep login in header)

Topic summary

Goal: Hide the login link on the checkout page only, while keeping the login in the site header unchanged.

Key info and attempts:

  • Store URL provided: truenorthshop.com. Multiple helpers asked for URL/password to inspect.
  • Suggested setting: Settings > Customer Accounts > Show login links. This is global and not checkout-specific, so it risks removing header login too.
  • Platform limits highlighted: Checkout customization is restricted; only Shopify Plus allows edits to checkout. A Shopify rep noted you cannot remove the login section on checkout, only adjust styling (e.g., colors).
  • CSS workarounds proposed: A selector added to base.css to hide the button; the OP’s theme lacks base.css. They tried adding CSS in snippets/custom-styles.liquid, theme custom CSS, and theme.liquid—no effect. One reply’s code block appeared empty.

Current status:

  • No working solution achieved. All CSS attempts failed, likely due to checkout restrictions and scope.
  • Open question: Is the store on Shopify Plus? Without Plus, removing/hiding the checkout login while keeping the header login appears unsupported.

Notes: Screenshots showed the target login button and checkout appearance settings; they are illustrative but not essential to the outcome.
