Can I Customize the Checkout Page with GemPages?

What is the Shopify Checkout Page?

Typically, a checkout page is regarded as the last destination in the online shopping journey. It’s the crucial stage where customers finalize their purchases, review their cart, and make payment.

According to Shopify’s privacy and security policies, store owners are not permitted to customize a checkout page directly using third-party page builders like GemPages. 

However, you can make changes within the Shopify Editor or install apps that support checkout customization.

How to Customize Your Shopify Checkout Page?

There are multiple ways to customize your Shopify checkout page. However, please note that these options depend on your Shopify plan, and several are limited to Shopify Plus merchants only.

Method 1: Use Your Theme Settings

We recommend using Shopify’s Theme Editor to make the basic and visual changes to your checkout page.

Step 1: Go to your Shopify admin > Online Store > Theme. Hit the Customize button on your current theme to open the Theme Editor.

Step 2: Drop down the Home page button > select Checkout and customer accounts.

Step 3: On the left-side bar, you’ll see all the settings options, including:

• Header
• Background
• Color
• Typography
• Checkout layout

Now, you can configure all the sections as needed.

Step 4: Click the Save button in the upper-right corner to save your changes.

Method 2: Use a Third-party App for Extended Checkout Functionality

Shopify allows you to fully customize your checkout page within a checkout app from the Shopify App Store.

To view all of the options, search for the Checkout Customization and install the one that best fits your store.

Method 3: (Advanced) Use Shopify Plus features

If you’re on Shopify Plus, you get access to advanced tools such as:

• Checkout Branding API: For design customizations
• Checkout UI extensions: For adding functionality

Refer to this article for further information.

You can also develop a custom Checkout App, which requires coding knowledge. If you’re not a developer, consider working with a Shopify Partner or app developer.
