1. Request access to edit the checkout page
You’ll first need to request access to your checkout.liquid file by sending an email to support@shopify.com. The store owner will need to request this.
Here’s a simple email with what you need to ask for:
Hello,
I need access to my ‘checkout.liquid’ file from my admin dashboard. Please let me know as soon as it’s made available to me.
Thank you,
