Updated over a week ago

Accessing Checkout Branding

You can access the Checkout branding settings by clicking on "Edit Branding" at the top of your Checkout Editor:

OR
You can also access the checkout branding by going to:

Apps → Aftersell by Rokt → Settings → Checkout branding

From here, you’ll see the live checkout branding configuration that applies to your post-purchase experiences.

These Checkout branding settings are only accessible to Shopify Plus merchants at this time. If you do not have access to Shopify Plus, please refer to this article instead.


Reset and Preview

In the top-right corner of the Checkout Branding editor, you’ll find tools to help you review or undo changes before saving.

Reset

The Reset option allows you to reset all checkout branding settings.

You can choose to:

  • Reset to previous state, which reverts any unsaved changes and restores the last saved configuration

  • Reset to null, which clears all branding settings and removes all customizations

Resetting affects all branding settings, including global colours, typography, buttons, form fields, dividers, headers, footers, content areas, main areas, and the order summary.

Preview

The Preview button lets you see how your checkout branding changes will look . Consider using preview to review visual updates across the checkout.


Design System

Global colours

Global colours define your brand and system colours across checkout components. If a colour isn’t explicitly set elsewhere, Aftersell will fall back to these values.

Brand colours

Brand colours are used for your primary brand identity and interactive elements.

  • Brand – The primary colour used for core branding elements

  • Accent – Used for highlights, links, and interactive states

  • Decorative – Used for secondary or decorative elements

Status and system colours

Status colours are used for system messages and state-based UI elements.

  • Success – Used for confirmation and success states

  • Warning – Used for cautionary messages

  • Critical – Used for error states

  • Info – Used for informational messages

Shopify may take a short time to reflect changes due to caching. If you don't see your changes reflecting in the editor, we recommend placing a test order.


Typography

Typography settings control how text appears across checkout experiences.

You can configure:

  • Base font size – The default size used for body text

  • Scale ratio – Determines how text sizes scale up or down from the base size

Primary font

The primary font is used for most components, including body text, buttons, and form controls. You can select a font family and define base and bold font weights

Secondary font

The secondary font is used for headings and emphasis elements. Like the primary font, you can choose the font family and weights.

Only fonts available through Shopify’s checkout branding system can be used. You can preview available fonts in Shopify’s documentation.


Corner radius

Corner radius controls the rounding applied to buttons, form fields, containers, and other UI components.

You can set three radius sizes:

  • Small – Adds subtle rounding to smaller components

  • Medium – Adds noticeable rounding to standard components

  • Large – Adds extra rounding to prominent components

These radius values apply globally across checkout and post-purchase experiences.

Note: You can override the radius scale for individual components in the Customizations section if needed.


Customizations

The Customizations section lets you fine-tune individual components used across checkout. These settings override the global Design System defaults for specific UI elements.

Buttons

Button settings control the appearance of primary and secondary actions.

You can customize:

  • Corner radius – Which radius scale the button uses

  • Background style – Solid or transparent backgrounds

  • Vertical and horizontal padding – Controls button height and width

  • Borders – Optionally show a button border

Primary buttons are used for main actions, while secondary buttons are used for supporting actions.


Form fields

Form field settings apply to all supported input types across checkout experiences.

You can control:

  • Corner radius

  • Label position (for example, inside the field)

  • Borders

Field-specific overrides allow you to further customize text fields, dropdowns, choice lists, and checkboxes.


Product thumbnails

Product thumbnail settings control how product images appear.

You can adjust:

  • Borders and border radius

  • Image fit within the container

  • Badge background colour, which applies to quantity indicators


Header

Header settings control how the header is displayed and positioned.

You can configure:

  • Placement and alignment

  • Padding inside the header container

  • Colour scheme

  • Optional dividers between the header and content

Content area

Content area settings control the divider between the main content and the order summary.

You can customize divider visibility, style, and weight.

Main area

Main area settings control the layout and styling of the primary content sections.

You can adjust:

  • Section containers, including background and borders

  • Section dividers between content sections

Order summary

Order summary settings control the appearance of the order summary container.

You can customize:

  • Container background and borders

  • Dividers between sections

  • Padding, corner radius, and shadow

  • Colour scheme

Footer

Footer settings control how the footer is displayed at the bottom of the page.

You can configure:

  • Placement and alignment

  • Padding and colour scheme

  • Optional dividers between the content area and footer


Advanced settings

Advanced settings allow you to define colour schemes. Colour schemes control surface-level colours for key UI elements and let you go beyond the global defaults when needed.

Colour schemes

Colour schemes control surface colours for the main checkout UI, including Checkout and Thank You pages. If a colour isn’t set in a scheme, Aftersell falls back to your Global colours.

You can configure multiple schemes, such as:

  • Scheme 1 – Main area, used for primary content areas

  • Scheme 2 – Supporting areas, used for secondary or supporting sections

Buttons

Button colour schemes apply to the main payment button and secondary actions.

For both primary and secondary buttons, you can define colours for:

  • Default state (background, text, border, accent, decorative, icon)

  • Hover state (background, text, border, accent, decorative, icon)

Form controls

Form control schemes apply to text fields, drop downs, and choice lists.

You can customize colours for:

  • Default state

  • Selected state

Each state supports background, text, border, accent, decorative, and icon colours

Base surfaces

Base surface colours define foundational UI elements such as:

  • Surface backgrounds

  • Body text

  • Borders

  • Accents used for links and focus states

  • Decorative and icon colours

These settings help ensure consistency across large areas of the checkout experience.

Post-purchase experiences commonly rely on Global colours. If something looks off, make sure your colour schemes align with your Global colour settings.
