Hi @Sivadarshan !

For non-plus Shopify accounts, it isn’t possible to edit the favicon for checkout pages specifically. This is because these pages are hosted separately from what is used to display the rest of the site, which means customisation settings like the favicon don’t apply. Shopify staff have also confirmed this in a similar thread earlier — you can check out their response here: https://community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/how-do-we-add-a-favicon-to-our-checkout-page/m-p/1339373/highlight/true#M350305.

If you’re on a Shopify Plus store, you can edit the favicon using the GraphQL Admin API. Here’s a help article by Shopify that contains a detailed breakdown of the steps to add the favicon

I hope this helps!
