What is Checkout Page Customization?


Checkout Page Customization lets you control which fields appear on your store’s checkout, add an optional notes field, manage country selection behavior, and enable address auto-complete. Using these options streamlines the purchase experience and ensures you collect only the information needed to fulfill orders.


Key Benefits of Checkout Page Customization


  • Reduced friction: Show only the fields customers must complete for a faster checkout.

  • Higher data quality: Use address auto-complete to minimize typos and incomplete addresses.

  • Flexible country handling: Let customers pick their country or restrict checkout to specific countries.

  • Extra context collection: Capture order-specific instructions with an Additional Notes field.
