I have been trying to change an add the SKU information on the right side of the checkout page. Right now it shows 1) Product Name

  1. Size

  2. Sale deal (if available)

I would like either:

  1. Change the Size information (2 in red) for SKU Information (as SKU includes size) or

  2. Add SKU Information

Thanks in advance!

To modify the Shopify checkout page, you’ll need to make adjustments to the checkout.liquid file or through the Shopify Plus custom checkout features if you’re on Shopify Plus.

Customizing the checkout page is only possible if you are on Shopify Plus, as access to checkout templates is restricted to Plus users. If you’re on a lower-tier plan, this level of customization is not available.

Shopify doesn’t allow full access to the checkout liquid files for stores not on Shopify Plus, so most modifications outside of the order summary are restricted.

Dear Vritzka, many thanks for the time and explanation, that clarify why we weren´t able to reach the checkout.liquid code file, now it´s clear. Plus is too expensive for us, so we´ll figure out another way. Thanks!
