Thank you - I didn’t realize the endless scrolling until I saw your post! Thank you!
Topic summary
A merchant wants to display a custom message during checkout to inform customers about specific shipping days (Monday & Thursday only). Initially, Shopify support states this requires the expensive Shopify Plus plan and suggests workarounds like adding notes to product descriptions or shipping rate details.
Key Solution Found:
A community member discovers a workaround that doesn’t require upgrading:
- Navigate to Settings → Checkout → Manage checkout language
- Search for “Shipping method notice” (requires scrolling through the entire list first due to infinite scroll design)
- Add custom text in this field, which then displays on the checkout page under shipping methods
Important Notes:
- This solution works across all themes (confirmed working through 2025)
- The UI requires scrolling to the bottom before the search function works properly
- Multiple users confirm this method still functions and express frustration that such basic functionality is otherwise locked behind Shopify Plus ($2,000-5,000/month)
- One user initially confused this with allowing customers to add messages (which requires enabling order notes separately)
The discussion reflects ongoing frustration with Shopify’s feature restrictions on lower-tier plans for what many consider essential checkout customization.
