Shopify change payment methods positions

Before 2023, both the Basic and Advanced Shopify plans lacked the capability to customize the payment methods labels, only Shopify Plus merchants could achieve this, but now there are alternative methods to do it.
If you want to give more relevance to your preferred payment methods, or the ones that you see your customers use the most, here we tell you how to do it.

Do i need to be a Shopify Plus merchant to reorder the checkout payment methods?

Not anymore! Before 2023 you could only edit the payment methods by being a Shopify Plus merchant, but now you can achieve with the Kip: Sort Hide Payment Methods app. With this app you can hide, rename and reorder the payment methods shown in your checkout, and set conditions on them if you need it.

Using the Kip: Sort Hide Payment Methods app to change the payment method's order

Add specific conditions for the new payment method positions if needed. Alternatively, choose the "Always applies" option for a universal application of the rule:
