Styling your checkout page

Align your checkout page with your site’s design.

Last updated August 23, 2023

Style the checkout page to match the aesthetic of your site. You can customize the header alignment and the text, background, and button colors. These changes also apply to the donation block checkout page.

Style the checkout page

  1. Open the Pages panel, scroll to the bottom and click System Pages, then click Checkout.
  2. Use style tweaks to customize different elements of the page.
  3. When you’re finished styling the checkout page, click Save.

A banner displays that says Checkout is disabled. This means the changes you’re making aren’t visible yet, but customers can still buy your products while you style the page. Your changes won’t be visible until you save the page.

You can adjust:

  • Background Color
  • Show Site Logo
  • Title Color - Change your Site Title color, if Show Site Logo is unchecked.
  • Header Color
  • Header Border Color
  • Header Alignment - Display the title or logo in the Left, Center, or Right of the header.
  • Button Color - Change the buttons on the page, including the Continue and Redeem buttons. We don't recommend changing the color to transparent or white. Since the button text can't change, this hides the button and prevents customers from continuing with the transaction.

It's not possible to change the appearance of your site title on the checkout page.

After checkout

The page that displays after checkout depends on the customer's purchase.

Order status page: physical, digital, and service products

If your customer bought a physical, digital, or service product, the order status page displays. This page includes most order details and the option to create a customer account. It always has a white background and uses a standard font. It's not possible to customize the order status page in Site Styles. To preview the order status page, visit How customers buy your products, or run a test order with a supported product type.

Tip

If the order status page doesn't display when you run a test order for a supported product type, it's likely because you added code injection to your site. To learn more, visit Using code injection

Order confirmation page: subscription, gift cards, and memberships

If your customer bought a subscription, gift card, or membership, a more streamlined order confirmation page displays, which displays the text Order Confirmed and the order number. This page matches your site’s styles. To preview the order confirmed page, run a test order with a supported product.

How you style the order confirmed page text depends on your site's version.

Use the tweaks below to style the order confirmed page. Keep in mind, the color theme of the order confirmed page is the same as your default 404 page.

  • "Order confirmed" font - Follows Heading 1
  • "Order confirmed" color - Follows Heading (Extra Large)
  • Order number and confirmation text font - Follows Paragraph 2
  • Order number and confirmation text color - Follows Paragraph (Medium)
  • "Your purchase includes downloads" font - Follows Heading 3
  • "Your purchase includes downloads" color - Follows Heading (Medium)

In all templates:

  • "Order confirmed" text - Follows Heading 1 text
  • Order number and confirmation text - Follows body text
  • "Your purchase includes downloads" text - Follows Heading 3 text

To learn more about changing fonts and colors, visit Making style changes.

Order confirmation page header content

It's not possible to add images and other content to your checkout page. However, in version 7.0, these template families display content from their default 404 pages on order confirmation pages, shopping carts, and searches:

  • Avenue
  • Farro
  • Five
  • Wexley
  • York

To remove unwanted header content in these template families, edit your default 404 page, or create a custom 404 page.
