How can I reorder my payment methods in theme templates?

Topic summary

Core issue: Merchants want to reorder payment methods (e.g., show manual payments first) and ask if this can be done via theme templates.

Current capability: Not possible on standard Shopify plans. Reordering payment options requires Shopify Plus (enterprise/high GMV) access to checkout.liquid to customize the checkout flow.

Recent update/concerns: A year later, a merchant reports decreased conversion after the One Page Checkout rollout and believes changing payment order could help.

Shopify response: One Page Checkout has been rigorously tested and optimized. Support requests specific, reproducible issues or data about the conversion drop for review.

Actions/outcomes:

  • Shopify will forward the feature request to allow reordering payment methods.
  • Merchant is asked to provide detailed metrics or examples to investigate conversion issues.

Status: No change to functionality for standard plans; customization remains a Shopify Plus capability. Discussion remains open pending merchant data and feature consideration.

Key terms: Shopify Plus = higher-tier plan with checkout.liquid access; checkout.liquid = file enabling checkout customization; One Page Checkout = consolidated single-page checkout experience.

Hi, one year later. Still not available? Since the introducing of onepage checkout my conversion rate decreased very much. I think changing the payments order would definitely increase my conversion rate. Please advise
