@ad8on Not at this time. Credit card processors will show first, followed by alternative payment methods, then manual payment methods.
Topic summary
A merchant wants to set Cash on Delivery (COD) as the default payment method instead of Easypaisa, which currently appears first at checkout.
Platform Limitation:
- Shopify enforces a fixed payment method order: credit card processors first, alternative payment methods second, manual methods (like COD) last
- No workarounds or customization options exist for standard plans
- Customers must manually select COD if they prefer it
Ongoing Frustration:
- Multiple users across 2021-2023 have requested this feature, particularly from Asian markets where COD is the preferred payment method
- A feature request exists but has no implementation timeline
- One user suggests Shopify Plus ($2000/month) may offer checkout customization, though this remains unconfirmed
Community Sentiment:
- Users express frustration that competitors offer this basic functionality
- Some speculate Shopify prioritizes card transactions due to processing fees
- The limitation is viewed as a significant drawback, especially for businesses in COD-heavy markets
Status: Unresolved. The discussion remains open with no official solution provided.
