Payment Methods: Getting Started
Install Nexo Payment Methods, find it inside Shopify, and learn the template, preview, and publish flow.
Getting Started with Nexo Payment Methods
Nexo Payment Methods lets you hide, reorder, and rename payment options at checkout using no-code rules. It is free and works with Shopify Checkout through the official Shopify Payment Customizations API, so there are no theme edits and no redirects.
Install the app
- Open the Nexo Payment Methods listing on the Shopify App Store.
- Click Install.
- Approve the requested permissions.
After installation the app is available from Shopify admin → Apps → Nexo Payment Methods.
Free app
Nexo Payment Methods is free. There is no trial timer and no paid tier to unlock the hide, reorder, and rename actions.
Where it lives in Shopify
Because the app uses Shopify's Payment Customizations API, your published rules run natively inside Shopify Checkout. You will see two places worth knowing:
- The app dashboard (Apps → Nexo Payment Methods) — where you build, preview, and publish rules.
- Settings → Payments → Payment customizations — where Shopify lists the active customization that Nexo publishes on your behalf. You normally manage everything from the app, but this is where Shopify records the live customization.
The template, preview, publish flow
Every rule follows the same three-step flow.
1. Pick a template
Start from a template instead of a blank rule. Templates cover the most common goals, such as hiding Cash on Delivery above a cart total, reordering methods to put cards first, or renaming a generic gateway to a clearer label. Pick the one closest to your goal and adjust it.
2. Preview
Before anything reaches live checkout, use the preview to confirm the rule does what you expect. The preview shows how the payment list will appear once the targeting conditions match, so you can catch a wrong threshold or an unintended hide before publishing.
3. Publish
When the preview looks right, click Publish. Nexo writes the customization through the Payment Customizations API and it takes effect at checkout. To roll back, unpublish or edit the rule and publish again.
No theme edits required
You never touch theme code, checkout.liquid, or redirects. Everything is applied through Shopify's native customization layer.
