PayPal Smart Buttons in Shopify Cart page - HORIZON theme

If you’re using the Horizon theme on Shopify, adding PayPal, credit, and debit card buttons to your product or checkout page can significantly improve your store’s conversion rate. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to display these buttons professionally, making it easier for customers to complete their purchases.

💡 Why You Should Add PayPal and Card Buttons

Online shoppers want fast and secure payment options. By offering PayPal and card payment buttons (credit and debit), you give them the confidence to pay using the method they trust most.

Here are a few reasons why it’s worth adding these buttons to your Shopify store:

• Builds customer trust with familiar payment logos
• Improves checkout experience and reduces cart abandonment
• Speeds up the purchase process with one-click checkout options
• Supports mobile users with quick payment visibility

🧭 Where the Buttons Appear

In the Horizon theme, you can display PayPal and card payment buttons:

• Below the Add to Cart button on your product page
• On the checkout page during the payment step
• Or on the cart page, if enabled for express checkout

This visibility allows customers to check out instantly using their preferred method without navigating multiple pages.

⚙️ How to Enable PayPal and Card Payments in Shopify

To activate these buttons, make sure you’ve:

1. Enabled PayPal in your Shopify payment settings
2. Activated Shopify Payments for credit and debit cards
3. Selected “Accelerated checkouts” in your theme or payment settings

Once activated, Shopify automatically displays the PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card buttons depending on your customer’s device and location.

🎨 Customizing Button Appearance in the Horizon Theme

The Horizon theme is designed to be flexible and modern. You can adjust where these buttons appear and how they blend with your store design through the Theme Editor.

You can:

• Change the button position (above or below the Add to Cart button)
• Adjust spacing and layout for mobile vs. desktop
• Choose which payment buttons to display

No coding is required — all these options can be managed directly from your Shopify theme customization panel.
