Per-Template Shop Pay and Purchase CTA Control
The Opportunity
A Shopify app that lets merchants hide Shop Pay messaging and purchase buttons on selected product templates while leaving them enabled on others. It is useful for stores that sell both shippable goods and service-based offerings.
"Merchants need to disable Shop Pay promotional messaging and purchasing behavior only for certain product templates, especially services or repair items that should not be paid online at checkout."
Market Validation
Detailed Analysis
Proposed Solution
Provide per-template and per-product controls for Shop Pay badges, installment messaging, add-to-cart buttons, and purchase eligibility, with template-aware rules and optional replacement CTAs such as 'Request Service' or 'Pay After Completion'.
Target Audience
Shopify merchants selling mixed catalogs of products and services, especially repair/service businesses
Competitive Landscape
Shop Pay theme customization, custom theme code, product-type conditional display apps, service booking apps
Implementation Notes
Detect product template and product tags/types to conditionally suppress Shop Pay messaging and purchase UI on selected templates; integrate with theme app blocks and cart validation to prevent unintended online payment for service items; support alternate CTAs and admin rule mapping by collection, product type, or metafield.
