⚡️ The deadline for Shopify's new Checkout Extensibility upgrade is coming

Shopify's new Checkout Extensibility will replace checkout.liquid for Shopify Plus by August 2024. Merchants need to transition to avoid losing customizations.

Moving away from checkout.liquid empowers merchants with full control over the entire checkout experience – from design to functionality. Customize the checkout's appearance effortlessly using the drag-and-drop editor. Update colors, fonts, logos, and layout in seconds. Transition seamlessly from three pages to the new one-page checkout for a smoother process. Plus, enjoy additional benefits like Integrated Analytics, Shopify Functions, and Checkout Extensions.

You've got some time left, but the clock's ticking. Shopify Plus merchants, it's time to dive into planning for the Checkout Extensibility upgrade.

Here are some steps we recommend to get ready:

1. Review your current customizations.

2. Define your project scope.

3. Build and test your new checkout.

4. Deploy and optimize.

Need a hand navigating all this? The HeyCarson team is here to help.
