How do I hide the express checkout button on my Boost theme?

Hello!

I am using the Boost version 3.1.2 theme for my store, but i want to hide the express checkout button in my checkout.

I know the location of the additional checkout buttons in the code (see screenshot), but i’m not a coder, so i don’t know what to write/edit without help.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi @b00m666

You need the plus plan to custom checkout.liquid.

If you stand on the basic plan. You can’t customize checkout page. You only can hide this payment

Go to settings → Payment-> PayPal → deactive

May i know why it was possible for people with other themes without Shopify Plus? (https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/how-to-remove-paypal-express-checkout-button-from-checkout-page/td-p/645551)

Hi @b00m666

This thread https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/how-to-remove-paypal-express-checkout-button-from-checkout-page/td-p/645551 only can add a button or hide it on cart page as well.

Hi BOOm666,

It seems like since mid of 2022, the liquid / CSS code to hide the checkout button does not work anymore. To hide the express checkout payment method, you will need an app that utilize Shopify Functions. (a way for an app to communicate with Shopify to hide certain payment methods)

I have made an app to hide the Paypal Express (and other express checkout method like Apple Pay, Google Pay etc) on the top part of checkout page, and customer can still select Paypal method at the payment step. You don’t need Shopify Plus for this to work, you can be on any Shopify plan.

The app is made using native Shopify functions, thus it does not affect your store existing layout or functionality at all.

The app name is Yagi Express Payment Hider (https://apps.shopify.com/yagi-express-payment-hider)

The app also have a workaround which you can hide the express checkout buttons for returning customers with saved address, but you will need to create a placeholder shipping rate for it to work, this will also work with one-page checkout.

Hope this can help!

You cannot or shouldn’t hide the PayPal express button in the checkout page by modifying the liquid code in 2024. Also since you are not a coder, you can use PayRules: Hide Payment Methods app very easily. After installing the app, simply go to the Add Rule page and enable the toggle to Hide of the PayPal Express Checkout field like the below screenshot.

That’s it. I hope it helps. Thanks.
