Why isn't my Apple Pay button showing at checkout?

Topic summary

Issue: The Apple Pay/dynamic checkout button appears as a blank black box on product pages and at checkout. Screenshots were provided showing the empty black button states.

Requested info: A helper asked for the store URL and, if password-protected, the password to inspect the theme.

Proposed fix: Add a CSS rule in the theme file (Assets > base.css) to set the button text color to white:

  • .cart__checkout-button,
  • .shopify-payment-button__button–unbranded { color: #fff !important; }
    This CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) change targets the checkout and unbranded payment buttons to ensure text is visible on a dark background.

Status: No confirmation yet that the change resolves the issue; discussion remains open. Images are central for illustrating the blank button appearance.

Summarized with AI on February 23. AI used: gpt-5.

The black box is blank while looking at products and during checkout.

Please let me know how I can fix this.

Hi @essentialhats ,

Hi @essentialhats ,

Go to Assets > base.css and paste this at the bottom of the file:

.cart__checkout-button,
.shopify-payment-button__button--unbranded {
    color: #fff !important;
}

Hope it helps!
