Vista Checkout Rule & Discount
Control Exactly What Shows at Checkout — Without Needing Shopify Plus.
Vista lets you conditionally show, hide, reorder, or rename payment and shipping methods, apply discounts based on real checkout conditions, and block invalid orders — all inside Shopify’s native checkout, no custom code required.
Why Shopify’s Native Checkout Settings Fall Short
Shopify’s built-in checkout gives you basic shipping and payment configuration, but it wasn’t built for conditional logic. You can’t natively hide Cash on Delivery for orders over a certain value, show wholesale customers different shipping rates than retail customers, block checkout entirely for a PO Box address, or move store pickup below delivery options for certain product types — all common, everyday requests once a store has more than one type of customer or product.
Shopify Plus merchants get some of this through Shopify Scripts and Checkout Extensibility, but that requires developer time and ongoing maintenance for what’s often a straightforward business rule. Standard-plan merchants have no native path to it at all — the workaround has typically been manual order review, customer service catching issues after the fact, or simply living with checkout friction that doesn’t match how the business actually operates.
Across merchant feedback on checkout customization tools, the recurring theme isn’t asking for more discount types — it’s asking for the checkout to behave differently depending on who’s buying, what they’re buying, and how much they’re spending. That’s the specific gap Vista is built to close.
Conditional Rules for Every Part of Checkout
Each rule is built from conditions you set — cart total, customer tag, product tag, shipping address, or weight — and an action Vista applies automatically.
Show, Hide & Reorder Payment Methods
Hide high-fee payment options under a set order value, or show BNPL options only above a minimum spend.
Conditional Shipping Rates
Different shipping options for wholesale vs. retail customers, or by product tag, weight, or destination.
Block Invalid Checkouts
Restrict PO Box addresses, set minimum order values by region, or block specific product/shipping combinations.
Conditional Discounts
Apply order or shipping discounts automatically when cart conditions are met — no discount code required.
Built Inside Shopify’s Checkout Rules — Not Around Them
Shopify’s Partner Program places specific, non-negotiable limits on what any checkout app is allowed to do, and they exist to protect the buyer: apps cannot bypass Shopify’s checkout or payment processing, cannot pre-select optional charges that raise the order total without the customer’s explicit consent, and cannot reorder shipping methods in a way that hides the cheapest legitimate option from the buyer.
Vista is built entirely within those constraints. Every rule you create — hiding a payment method, changing shipping order, applying a conditional discount — runs through Shopify’s own checkout configuration, which means it’s reviewed under the same integrity standards as Shopify’s native settings. Nothing Vista does touches payment processing directly, and no rule can be configured to disadvantage the buyer by default; conditions apply based on cart and customer data you define, not hidden logic.
Practically, this matters for two reasons: your store stays compliant with Shopify’s Acceptable Use Policy without you having to think about it, and rules built this way don’t break when Shopify updates checkout — because Vista isn’t working around Shopify’s system, it’s working inside it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Vista hide a payment method for specific customers only?
[Confirm against your actual rule engine — e.g., by customer tag, order history, or account type — and state the exact mechanism.]
Does this work on Shopify Plus with Checkout Extensibility?
[State compatibility precisely — this is a common point of confusion in the category and a direct answer builds real trust.]
Will a rule ever hide the cheapest shipping option from a customer by default?
No — Shopify’s checkout integrity policy prohibits reordering shipping so the cheapest legitimate option isn’t visible, and Vista’s rules are built to operate within that requirement rather than around it.
What permissions does Vista need, and why?
[List exact API scopes requested at install with a one-line reason for each.]
Can I combine multiple conditions in one rule?
[Answer based on actual rule engine capability — e.g., cart total AND customer tag together — with a concrete example.]
