I would like to ask whether it is allowed to create and host a custom pre-checkout page for Shopify.
The flow would work as follows: when a customer proceeds to checkout from the cart, they would first be redirected to an externally hosted pre-checkout page that has a similar look and feel to the Shopify checkout. After completing this step, the customer would then be redirected to the actual Shopify checkout page.
Would this approach be compliant with Shopify’s requirements and policies?
Hi Luke, yes, I see your point about the impact on conversion.
The apparent reason for this approach is to offer features that would otherwise require checkout customization, which Shopify restricts on lower-tier plans.
The question is whether replicating Shopify’s checkout on a separate pre-checkout page to offer those features is actually permitted under Shopify’s policies.
