How to Add PayPal Smart Button to Checkout Page (Dawn Theme) and Create Shopify Order on Successful

Technical Q&A
1

Hello Shopify Community,

I’m using the Dawn theme and would like to integrate PayPal Smart Buttons into the checkout page. Specifically, I want the following functionality:

  1. Add the PayPal Smart Button to the checkout page.
  2. Once a customer successfully makes a payment through PayPal, the transaction details should be captured, and a Shopify order should be automatically created for fulfillment.

I’ve already added the PayPal Smart Button to my cart page successfully, but I’m unsure how to achieve the same on the checkout page. Also, I need guidance on how to automate the order creation process in Shopify once payment is confirmed.

Hi @ahmadtamimi ,

As I know, Shopify restricts customization directly on the checkout page for stores on the Basic and Shopify plans. Full access to checkout customization is typically only available to Shopify Plus users.
