Hide or Reorder Payment and Delivery Options on Shopify Without Code

The fastest checkout improvements usually aren't redesigns. They're subtractions: removing the payment method that shouldn't be offered on this order, hiding the shipping option that can't actually deliver this cart, and putting the right choice first so most customers never think about it.

Scripts used to do this for Plus stores. Today the no-code way is Checkout Blocks, and this guide walks the real setup, with the plan caveat stated up front rather than discovered at step three.

The plan reality, first

Per Shopify's documentation, creating delivery or payment method customizations in Checkout Blocks is Shopify Plus only.

Not on Plus? You're not locked out of the outcome, only this particular tool: public App Store apps ship the same Functions-powered customizations and work on every plan, because that's how Shopify Functions availability works. Search the App Store for payment or shipping rules apps, and check that the app says it uses native checkout customizations rather than theme tricks.

What you can change

Both customization types in Checkout Blocks do three things, per the payment methods guide:

• Hide a method when conditions are met
• Rename a method (presentation only; behavior is unchanged)
• Reorder methods so your preferred option is the default

Setups that pay for themselves

Payment methods:

1. Cash on delivery, fenced in. Hide COD above an order value, outside the regions where your couriers actually collect, or both. Every prevented COD order that would have bounced is real money.
2. Financing where it makes sense. Hide installment options on low-value carts and gift-card-only orders, where they either can't apply or just add noise.
3. B2B terms for B2B customers. Show invoice or net-terms payment only to tagged wholesale customers. Everyone else sees a clean consumer wall.
4. Preferred method first. Reorder so the method with your best rates sits on top. Defaults are powerful; most customers take the first reasonable option.

Delivery methods:

1. Honest names. Rename carrier-generated rates into promises: "Standard" becomes "Arrives in 3-5 business days". Same rate, fewer support tickets.
2. Hide what can't happen. Express shipping disappears for oversized items; shipping options disappear for local-pickup-only products.
3. Right order. Your preferred carrier first, the expensive fallback last.

Setting one up (Plus)

1. Install Checkout Blocks if it isn't already, and open it from your admin.
2. Create a new payment method customization or delivery method customization.
3. Pick the action (hide, rename, reorder), the method it applies to, and the conditions under which it fires.
4. Preview in the checkout editor, then publish.

Two pieces of hard-won advice. First, test with real carts that match each condition boundary: one just under your COD threshold, one just over. Conditions that read right can still be off by an inclusive-versus-exclusive comparison. Second, keep a one-line note of why each customization exists. Six months from now, "Hide COD > $200, couriers refuse high-value collection, added June 2026" is the difference between confident edits and archaeology.

When the conditions can't say it

Checkout Blocks' rules cover the common cases well. When your logic needs something they can't express, the same outcomes are available as a small custom Functions app, with completely free-form logic and the same Plus requirement. That boundary, and 25 ideas on the far side of it, is exactly what The Shopify Functions Playbook maps.
