Express checkout buttons allow customers to skip the traditional checkout process and complete their purchase quickly using payment methods like Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Shop Pay.

​
Implementation

To enable express checkout buttons in your cart, you’ll need to add a small code snippet to your theme.
1

Access theme code

From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code
2

Open theme.liquid

In the Layout folder, click on theme.liquid to open it
3

Add the code

Find the </head> closing tag and add the following code as a new line just before it:
{% if additional_checkout_buttons %}
<div style="display: none !important">
    {{ content_for_additional_checkout_buttons }}
</div>
{% endif %}
4

Save changes

Click Save to apply the changes to your theme

​
How It Works

This code snippet:
  • Checks if express checkout buttons are available ({% if additional_checkout_buttons %})
  • Renders the checkout button content in a hidden div
  • Allows Assortion’s cart to control when and how these buttons are displayed
The div is set to display: none !important so that Assortion can manage the visibility and positioning of express checkout buttons within your custom cart.
