Reorder Payment Methods (Show Local Method First)
Show your preferred local payment method at the top of the payment list at checkout. This is especially useful for stores in countries where local payment methods (like MB WAY, iDEAL, Klarna, or Sofort) are more popular than international options.
Basic Setup: Fixed Ranking
Example: Show MB WAY first for Portuguese customers
- Click Create rule → Reorder payment methods.
- Rule name: “MB WAY first for Portugal”
- Rule status: Test
- Reorder settings: Order by → Fixed ranking
- Add rows to the ranking table:
| Rank | Condition | Payment method |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Equals to | MB WAY |
| 2 | Equals to | Multibanco |
| 3 | Equals to | Credit card |
- Validation trigger: On condition
- Condition: Country → Equals to → Portugal
- Click Save.
Portuguese customers see MB WAY first. Customers from other countries are unaffected.
Payment methods not in your ranking appear after the ranked ones in their default order.
Show Different Order for Different Countries
Create separate rules for each country:
Rule 1 — Netherlands:
- Rank 1: iDEAL, Rank 2: Credit card
- Condition: Country → Equals to → Netherlands
Rule 2 — Germany:
- Rank 1: Sofort, Rank 2: Credit card
- Condition: Country → Equals to → Germany
Rule 3 — Default (all other countries):
- Rank 1: Credit card, Rank 2: PayPal
- Validation trigger: Always (or no country condition)
Alphabetical Order
If you just want consistent alphabetical sorting:
- Click Create rule → Reorder payment methods.
- Reorder settings: Order by → Alphabetical order
- Direction: Name A-Z (Ascending)
- Validation trigger: Always
- Click Save.
Tips
- Use “Equals to” in the ranking condition for exact matching. “Contains string” may match the wrong method if names are similar.
- Use the exact method name as it appears at checkout. See How to Find the Exact Original Method Name.
- Unranked methods appear after all ranked ones in their default Shopify order.
- Shopify Plus is required to reorder the default Credit Card (Shopify Payments) method. Other methods can be reordered on any plan.
- Adding payment icons (like the PayPal or Klarna logos) next to method names is controlled by your payment provider and Shopify, not by this app.
