Where rules run
| Surface | Rules apply? |
|---|---|
| Online checkout | Yes |
| Draft order checkout, opened by the customer | Yes |
| Draft order screen in the Shopify admin | No — customizations are not shown while you build it |
| Shopify POS | No — customization functions do not run in POS |
| Cart page | No — methods are chosen at checkout, not in the cart |
Draft orders behave differently than they look
Building a draft order in the admin shows the unmodified method list, which reads like the rule has failed. It has not — the rule applies when the customer opens the checkout link. Test by sending yourself the link rather than judging from the admin screen.
Shopify limits
Shopify — not the app — caps each store at:
- 25 active payment customization functions
- 25 active delivery customization functions
Both count across every app on the store, so another checkout app may already be using some of your allowance. If a rule refuses to activate, check this first. The app itself sets no limit.
Wallets
Wallets — PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay — can be hidden. They cannot be renamed or reordered: their names are logos rather than text, and Shopify does not allow repositioning them.
This applies to every app in the category. Full list in Shopify limitations.
Express checkout buttons
Accelerated buttons — Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal Express — sit in a separate part of the checkout from the ordinary payment method list. They can be turned off, but hiding a wallet from the standard list does not remove its express button. See express buttons still showing.
Shopify Markets
Rules apply at checkout whichever market the customer is in, including across currencies. Use Shipping country to make a rule market-specific, or Cart currency where currency is the real distinction.
Checkout performance
Rules run as native Shopify Functions — no external calls, no third-party servers, no extra scripts. There is no measurable effect on checkout speed.
