# Removing Accelerated Checkout Buttons (Shop Pay, Google Pay, and More)

#### Why This Matters

If your store uses Vinoshipper, every customer must complete the pre-compliance form before they reach checkout. This is what keeps your orders compliant with state DTC shipping laws.

Accelerated checkout buttons — **Shop Pay**, **Google Pay**, **Apple Pay**, **PayPal Express**, and similar "express" options — can break this flow. When a customer taps one of these buttons on a product page or the cart page, they're sent straight to payment, skipping the required compliance step.

To make sure every customer is verified before they buy, these buttons need to be hidden from your product and cart pages.

{% hint style="info" %} You can keep Shop Pay and other alternative payment methods **enabled during checkout itself**. They simply shouldn't appear on the product page or cart page, where they let customers jump ahead of the compliance form. {% endhint %}

***

#### Remove the Buttons from Your Cart Page

Follow these steps to hide the accelerated checkout buttons:

1. In **Shopify**, go to **Online Store**.
2. Click **Themes**.
3. Select **Customize**.
4. In the theme editor, click **Theme settings** (bottom-left or top-left, depending on your theme).
5. Open the **Custom CSS** section.
6. Paste the following code:

```css
.additional-checkout-buttons {
  display: none;
}
```

7. Click **Save**.

#### Verify the Change

After saving:

1. Add a product to your cart.
2. Open the cart page.
3. Confirm that **Shop Pay**, **Google Pay**, **Apple Pay**, and other accelerated checkout buttons are no longer visible.

Customers should now be required to move through the standard checkout flow and complete the Vinoshipper compliance form before paying.

{% hint style="warning" %} If the buttons are still showing, your theme may use a different CSS class for the accelerated checkout block. Reach out at [crushsuite.com/contact](https://crushsuite.com/contact) and we'll help you target the right element. {% endhint %}
