A refreshed checkout UI for Pay by Link and Hosted Checkout

Pay by Link and Hosted Checkout are getting a standardized shopper-facing UI to improve brand consistency, trust, and scalability.

January 2026

PBL Refresh 4 UI screen

Standardized UI replaces custom backgrounds and layouts

We’re rolling out a new shopper-facing UI for Pay by Link and Hosted Checkout. The update removes background images, introduces a single standardized layout, and updates logo sizing. These changes address visual inconsistency, mobile responsiveness issues, and layout limitations that made it harder to expand the checkout experience over time.

Cleaner design improves brand consistency and shopper trust

The updated UI creates a more consistent and professional checkout experience for shoppers while keeping your brand clearly visible. By removing low-quality or mismatched background images, the new design reduces visual noise and helps reinforce trust at checkout. The standardized layout also prepares Pay by Link and Hosted Checkout for future features and additional order information.

Upload a logo that matches the new dimensions

To prepare for the new UI, upload a logo that meets the new size requirements in the Customer Area under Pay by Link, then Theme. You’ll see a banner guiding you through the update, and a preview button. No payment flows are disrupted, but updating your logo ensures your brand is displayed correctly when the new UI is live.
