## TL;DR

Everything you can customize in Shopify checkout today, from validation rules and payment logic to UI components and thank-you pages, plus what needs Shopify Plus and how to plan your setup.

## Key points

- Protecting the business. Blocking undeliverable addresses, restricting risky payment methods, stopping orders that break shipping or legal constraints, and limiting quantities on scarce products.
- Reducing friction. Showing the right payment and delivery options in the right order, renaming confusing labels, and removing choices that don't apply to a given customer.
- Growing order value. Upsells, product offers, trust signals, and post-purchase engagement on the thank-you and order status pages.
- Block PO box, APO, or parcel locker addresses for carriers that can't deliver there
- Restrict checkout to specific ZIP or postal codes for local delivery
- Enforce a minimum or maximum order value
