You do not need Shopify Plus to use Checkout Plus. However, Shopify restricts certain checkout customizations to Shopify Plus stores.
The features available to you depend on both your Shopify plan and your Checkout Plus plan.
Features that require Shopify Plus
Shopify Plus is required for Checkout Plus features that add custom content and functionality directly to the Information, Shipping, and Payment pages of checkout.
Depending on your Checkout Plus plan, these can include:
Checkout upsells
Custom fields
Custom checkboxes
Banners and custom content
Trust badges
Free shipping progress bars
Product reviews and review widgets
Delivery instructions
Line item notes
Other customizations placed directly within checkout
These features use Shopify’s Checkout UI Extensions, which Shopify makes available for the Information, Shipping, and Payment steps on Shopify Plus.
What can I use without Shopify Plus?
Checkout Plus also provides several powerful features that do not require Shopify Plus.
Depending on your Checkout Plus plan, these can include:
Payment Customizations
Hide, rename, or reorder payment methods based on your configured rules.
Shipping & Delivery Customizations
Hide, rename, or reorder shipping and delivery options displayed to customers.
Order Validations
Create rules that prevent an order from being completed when it doesn’t meet your store’s requirements.
Post-Purchase Page
Display a page immediately after checkout where you can recommend additional products after the customer’s initial order has already been placed.
Thank You & Order Status Pages
Add supported customizations to the pages customers see after completing their purchase and when viewing their order.
Why do some features require Shopify Plus?
The Shopify Plus requirement comes from Shopify rather than Checkout Plus.
Shopify limits the ability to add Checkout UI Extensions to certain areas of the checkout to Shopify Plus merchants. Checkout Plus follows Shopify’s checkout extensibility framework and makes the appropriate features available based on your store’s Shopify plan.
How do I know which features are available to my store?
Checkout Plus makes it easy to see which features are available based on your Shopify and Checkout Plus plans.
