Checkout extensions are Shopify's current way to customise checkout without touching checkout.liquid. They're the recommended route now that checkout.liquid is being retired for most merchants.
What they let you do
- Add banners, custom fields and messages at specific checkout steps.
- Offer upsells and cross-sells inside checkout.
- Apply custom validation and delivery logic.
- Brand the checkout to match your store (on Shopify Plus).
Why extensions instead of checkout.liquid
Extensions run safely inside Shopify's own environment, so they stay fast, secure and upgrade-proof. Editing checkout.liquid directly is being phased out because it's fragile and hard to maintain. Building on extensions means your checkout keeps working through Shopify's updates.
The impact
Checkout is the highest-intent moment on your store. Well-thought-out extensions cut friction and capture extra order value exactly when customers are ready to buy.
