All blocks
Blocks add things customers see and use at checkout. Every checkout block on this page needs Shopify Plus, because Shopify shows app blocks on checkout’s steps only on Plus stores; Product offers on product and cart pages don’t. After you create a block, add it to checkout.
Free plan marks the blocks you can create on Checkout Buddy’s Free plan, which includes one customization in total. All blocks are included in the Buddy plan. Deals & Rules doesn’t include checkout blocks. See plans.

Settings every older block has
Section titled “Settings every older block has”Content blocks, automations, Product offers and Custom fields have their own editor instead: rules are under Who sees it, the Status switch reads Published or Draft (new ones start as Draft), and Where it shows names their own app block, whose Block IDs can list them. This section is about blocks made before the Content block, and the blocks still made the older way.
- Name: In the first card, under the block type. For your reference. Form fields also use it as the label on the order.
- Status: A switch beside the settings. New blocks are enabled. Disable a block to hide it everywhere without deleting it.
- Where it shows: Which app block shows it in Shopify’s checkout editor, the block’s ID for the app block’s Fixed block ID, and:
- Markets: Apply to all markets, or Apply to selected markets only to show the block only to customers in those markets. See markets.
- Devices (Image and older Product offers only): Always show, or Show on selected devices only to show the block only on Mobile / tablet or Desktop.
- Conditions: When the block should show. See how conditions work.
Beside the settings, the Summary card sums up where and when the block shows, with its conditions in plain words. Banner, Text, FAQ, Image, older Product offers and Checkbox product offer blocks also have a Preview that follows your layout and display settings.
To copy conditions from one block to another, use Export and Import on the Conditions card. See copy conditions.
