Is it possible to change the order of payment options in the checkout for free?

Topic summary

Issue: A merchant wants to reorder payment methods in Shopify checkout—move PayPal lower and prioritize a local option—and is seeking a simple, free solution.

Update: A reply states this customization is only available on Shopify Plus (Shopify’s enterprise-tier plan), implying standard plans do not support changing payment method order.

Outcome: No free workaround or native setting on non-Plus plans was provided. The original poster suggests this should be a built-in Shopify feature.

Status: Unresolved. Without upgrading to Shopify Plus, the requested change cannot be implemented based on current information.

I really would like to change the order of my payment options in the checkout but I haven’t found a simple and free way to fix this issue. It should really be included in the Shopify options!

Does someone has a great tip on how to do this? I just want to move Paypal further down since it’s not very common to use in my country, and I’d like a local alternative to go higher up in the list.

Hey there @PernillaH from my knowledge, it would only be possible to do this if you’re on a Shopify Plus subscription plan.
