How do I remove shop/apple pay as an automatic option in express checkout

Topic summary

Goal: Remove Shop/Apple Pay express checkout buttons from the product page and show only a “Buy now” button, while keeping Shop/Apple Pay available later at checkout. An image was provided showing the express checkout buttons.

Proposed approach:

  • In Shopify Admin > Online Store, open Edit code for the theme.
  • Open the product template (e.g., product.liquid).
  • Remove the code that renders the express/accelerated checkout buttons (Shop/Apple Pay) on the product page.
  • Offer for further assistance if needed.

Notes:

  • The guidance focuses on hiding/removing the express checkout buttons at the theme level; it does not explicitly confirm whether Shop/Apple Pay will still appear at checkout after removal.
  • No specific code snippet or theme variations were provided, and no discussion of impacts on other templates (cart, drawer, etc.).

Status: Open/ongoing. A method was suggested; confirmation that it preserves Shop/Apple Pay in checkout and any theme-specific details remain unresolved.
