Branding changes can appear missing when the edited configuration or surface differs from the one being viewed. Verify the saved value and selected checkout/account/sign-in surface before resetting defaults.

How this feature works

Checkout branding follows the selected checkout configuration. Check which configuration is Published before saving because changes to the published configuration affect live checkout. Account and sign-in appearance settings in the Customer accounts section apply shop-wide rather than being isolated by checkout profile.

Before you begin

Use an eligible Shopify Plus store. Open Apps > Rivio Checkout Customizer and check the feature’s listed supported page. For a visual feature, configure it in Rivio and save its matching editor placement.

Worked example: Find why branding did not change

Example setup: The intended saved color/font/radius change and its selected configuration.

Troubleshooting steps

  1. Reopen Checkout branding and confirm the intended value is saved.

  2. Compare the selected configuration with the store’s published/used configuration.

  3. Check whether the change belongs to checkout, account pages, or Sign-in page; inspect that exact surface.

  4. Reload a fresh customer session and compare the actual control affected by the setting.

  5. For colors, inspect both main and order-summary schemes; for cards, inspect the applicable radius level.

  6. Correct only the mismatched setting or configuration and retest before using Reset to defaults.

Verify the result
