Move Credit Card first

In short

Create a Reorder rule for Payment, add the credit card method and the methods you want below it, and drag credit card to the top of Display Order. In the US and Canada this needs Shopify Plus.

Applies to

  • Stores outside the US and Canada, on any plan
  • Shopify Plus stores in the US and Canada

Doesn't apply to

  • Non-Plus stores in the US and Canada — Shopify ignores the change
  • PayPal and other wallets — they cannot be repositioned

Check this first: US and Canada stores

If your store is in the US or Canada and not on Shopify Plus, Shopify does not allow any app to move the credit card option. The rule would save and activate, then do nothing. See Shopify limitations.

Things to know

  • Wallets cannot be moved. PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay and Shop Pay keep their position whatever the rule says.
  • Express buttons sit above the payment list and are not part of this order.
  • Methods you did not add still appear, after the ones you ordered.

Frequently asked

Why does the order not change in the US?

On non-Plus plans in the US and Canada, Shopify does not let apps change the credit card option. The rule saves and activates, but checkout ignores it with no error.

Do I need to add every payment method?

No. Add only the ones you want to position. Methods you leave out still appear, after the ones you ordered.
