Stop customers skipping the date with Buy it now

Some customers can skip the cart page with Shopify’s “Buy it now” and express payment buttons (Dynamic Checkout). When that happens, they never see the date picker, and the order arrives with no delivery, pickup or local delivery date. This guide shows you how to turn off Dynamic Checkout so every customer chooses a date before they pay.

Available on all plans

❓ Why do orders sometimes have no date?

Dynamic Checkout adds buttons such as Buy it now, Shop Pay, Apple Pay and Google Pay under Add to cart. They send customers straight to checkout, so they skip the cart page and any date picker that lives there.

⚙ How to Turn Off Dynamic Checkout Buttons

Step 1: Open the Theme Editor and go to Products

In your Shopify admin, go to Online Store → Themes. Click Customize on the theme you use.
At the top of the editor, open the page menu (it shows “Home page”) and click Products.

Step 2: Choose your product template and open Buy buttons

Select Default product, or the product template that has the Calla date picker (for example, “cake”).
In the left panel, under Product information, click Buy buttons.

Step 3: Turn on the dynamic checkout buttons

In the Buy buttons panel, make sure Show dynamic checkout buttons is turned on.

Step 4: Save

Tip: The setting belongs to each product template. If you use more than one template with the date picker, repeat Steps 2–4 for each one.

🛠 Troubleshooting & FAQs

I turned it off, but I still see Buy it now buttons.

Check that you clicked Save, then refresh your storefront. Also check that you changed the template your product actually uses. Open the product in the Theme Editor and look at the template name at the top.

Will customers still be able to check out?

Yes. They click Add to cart, pick a date in the cart, and go to checkout as usual. Only the express buttons are hidden on the product page.

Do I need to do this for every product?

No. The setting applies to the whole product template, so every product that uses that template is updated at once.
