How can I add text to my checkout page total?

Store Design

Topic summary

Goal: add a custom shipping message on the checkout page near the shipping fee/total.

How to implement (no code):

  • Go to Settings > Checkout > Checkout language (Manage checkout language).
  • Search for “shipping method notice” and insert your message. If that field isn’t available, use “shipping method title” instead to display the note beside shipping options.
  • Alternative: use a pop-up app (e.g., Pop-Up Window) for an unavoidable message.

Outcomes:

  • The original poster confirmed success using “shipping method title.”
  • Other users validated this workaround and thanked the guidance. One noted Shopify makes this page hard to edit.
  • Screenshots were provided to show where the message appears in checkout.

Follow-up topic (marketing/SEO):

  • Moderator shared resources on branding, logo creation, Instagram growth, and SEO best practices.
  • SEO = search engine optimization (improving visibility in search engines).
  • Moderator requested more details about products and target audience to tailor advice.

Status:

  • Checkout message issue resolved.
  • Marketing/SEO guidance ongoing, pending business details from the requester.

Hi @auora ,

This can definitely be done. Typically you can utilize Shopify’s Language Editor and add or alter a pre-existing message. If you are able to describe where you want your message and what the message is then I can definitely guide you further.

For example, if you navigate to Settings (bottom left corner) > Checkout > Checkout language / Manage checkout language. You will see a search field where you can enter “shipping method notice.”

You can add a message into this field as shown below:

Which will show up in this space here:

Another option would be the use of an app such as Pop-Up Window to add a message that can’t be missed!

Hope that helps. Let me know if I can clarify any of the above for you.
