Hello there,
We are wanting to disable the express checkout option at the top of the checkout page. We are wanting to still have PayPal as a payment option but only on the payment details page.
Shopify support were not helpful and only suggested an application that does not work, with bad reviews.
I know there is CSS that you can use but cannot find the code or instructions that are up-to-date for a 2.0 theme.
Please supply me with an application that is clearly working, or preferably CSS code that I can insert into my theme. We are using Dawn 2.0
Reason we do not wish to use express checkout is that we are a a floristry business where people are buying flowers for other people. Express checkout often attempts to send directly to the buyer which is not what we wish to have here and creates a poorer experience.
I have seen other posts saying that I can disable PayPal accelerated, check out in my platform settings, but I cannot see any evidence of this.
Thank you

Hi FlowersGC,
Shopify has made changes since mid of 2022, which 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. (The app can communicate to tell Shopify to not show certain payment method)
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.

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!
