How Do I Add a Checkout Button in Shopify?

Last updated on January 11, 2023 @ 6:41 pm

If you want to add a checkout button in Shopify, there are two ways to do it. You can either use the Checkout Button app, or you can use the code provided by Shopify.

Using the Checkout Button app

Using Shopify’s checkout button code

    1. Go to your themes page.
    2. Click Actions > Edit code.
    3. On the Layout section, click theme.liquid.
    4. Find the </body> tag and paste the following code before it:

    <script src="https://checkout.shopifycs.com/v3/checkout_buttons.js" data-shop-id="XXXXXXXXX" data-button-style="none" data-button-text="" type="text/javascript"></script>

    5. Replace XXXXXXXXX with your shop's ID number, which is located in your shop's URL (for example, XXX in myShopify.com/XXX).
    6. Click Save.
    7. In the Description field on the checkout page, enter a brief description of what your customers will be purchasing. This will appear on the checkout button itself.

That's it! You've now added a checkout button to your Shopify store!

PRO TIP: If you are using Shopify to sell products online, you may want to add a checkout button to your site. This will allow customers to purchase items from your shop without having to leave your site.

However, before you add a checkout button to your site, you should be aware of a few things. First, when you add a checkout button to your site, you are responsible for processing the customer's payment. This means that you will need to have a payment processor set up and working properly.

Secondly, you will need to make sure that your shop's checkout process is secure. This means that you will need to have an SSL certificate installed on your site. If you do not have an SSL certificate, customers may not be able to purchase items from your shop.

Finally, you should test the checkout process on your site before making it live. This will ensure that everything is working properly and that customers can successfully purchase items from your shop.
