Checkout settings live under Platform Settings and control what your customers see and can do during the checkout process. These settings are split into three areas: checkout options (delivery types and account requirements), industry-specific settings that vary by your store type, and regional settings that affect currency, language, and measurement display throughout the checkout flow.Documentation Index
