# Add Cash App Afterpay at Checkout

Before you start, ensure that you have Shopify installed and working.

<Info>
  The Shopify App Store listing and app logo will reflect the new Cash App Afterpay brand, while the payment app itself continues to be called **Afterpay US**. Your customers will see the updated branding at checkout.

  For a list of requirements before you add Cash App Afterpay, see the [Requirements](#requirements) section at the bottom of this page.
