How do you hide, rename or reorder a payment method?

Shopify's Help Center says to install a payment customization app from the Shopify App Store. It can sort, reorder, hide and rename payment methods by conditions such as the customer's country or a cart total above or below a set value — HidePay and Payfy are two such listings (read October 15, 2026).

In Shopify admin
  1. Settings
  2. Payments
  3. Payment method customizations

Open this page once the app is installed; until then its only button is Explore apps.

To remove a method for every buyer, you don't need an app: deactivate a manual or local payment method in your Payments settings. The Shopify docs we read in October 2026 show no built-in conditional rule.

Payment configuration lists Manual payment methods and Payment method customizations.

Which plan do you need for each change?

Help Center and shopify.dev, read October 15, 2026.

Where your plan or country restricts a change, the change doesn't take effect at checkout, so test a checkout after you set a rule.

Need only PayPal's button gone? See how to hide just its button.

Where do payment rules not apply?

  • The admin while you create a draft order; the draft order's checkout still applies them.
  • Point of Sale.
  • Inside Shop Pay, except its native gift card field.
  • Reordering wallets; hiding them works.
  • Renaming methods named by a logo, such as Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

A store can run up to 25 active payment customization functions, counted across all apps.
