Manage Affirm payment customizations for Shopify stores
Overview
As of August 2024, Shopify retires the checkout.liquid file for customizing payment methods, such as setting a price floor for checkout or hiding Affirm for certain SKUs.
Instead, you can use the Affirm pay-over-time messaging Shopify app to control the appearance of the Affirm payment option at checkout for your Shopify store. You can set a minimum cart total or add disallowed SKUs that determine when a customized payment method displays.
Prerequisites
To use this feature, you must have the Affirm Payments App and Affirm pay-over-time messaging app installed on your store.
Important
If you previously installed the Affirm pay-over-time messaging app on your store, you must reinstall it to use this feature.
Create a Payment Customization
-
Open your Shopify admin dashboard (https://admin.shopify.com/store/<your_store>).
-
In the Affirm Pay-over-time Messaging app, open the Payment Customization tab.
-
Enter a value in 1 or both of these fields:
-
Minimum cart size: Enter a numeral value.
-
Disallowed SKUs: Choose the SKU you want to disallow from the Available SKUs options. You can search by product title, sku title or sku.
- You can choose multiple SKUs.
- Chosen SKUs will be displayed as tags under the Disallowed SKUs label (see image below). Any tag could be easily deleted from the Disallowed SKUs set (click on “x”).
