What it does

Shopify Checkout Extensions is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Build Checkout UI Extensions to customize Shopify checkout with sandboxed React-like components. Use when replacing checkout.liquid (deprecated Aug 2025), adding custom fields to checkout, displaying banners, or reading checkout state with hooks. Trigger with phrases like "shopify checkout extension", "shopify checkout ui", "checkout customization shopify", "checkout.liquid migration", "shopify checkout components".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/bundle-optimization.md`, `references/extension-targets.md` and `references/ui-components.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Frontend & Design. It works with Shopify and React. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Replacing checkout.liquid (deprecated Aug 2025)
  • Adding custom fields to checkout
  • Displaying banners
  • Reading checkout state with hooks

Example prompts

  • “shopify checkout extension”
  • “shopify checkout ui”
  • “checkout customization shopify”
  • “/shopify-checkout-extensions”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Grep

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Configure the Extension
  2. Build with UI Components
  3. Read Checkout Data with Hooks
  4. Bundle Size Strategies

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • shopify

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • shopify.dev

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Shopify Checkout Extensions loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 112 tokens; SKILL.md has 301 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~112
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Shopify Checkout UI Extensions

Overview

Checkout UI Extensions replace checkout.liquid (deprecated August 2025) with sandboxed, React-like components at specific checkout targets. They run in isolation with no DOM access and a strict 64KB bundle limit, using Shopify's component library for consistent, accessible UIs.

Prerequisites

  • Shopify CLI 3.x+ and a Shopify Partners app
  • Node.js 18+, @shopify/ui-extensions-react package
  • Development store with checkout extensibility enabled

Instructions

Step 1: Configure the Extension
toml
# extensions/checkout-banner/shopify.extension.toml
api_version = "2025-01"
type = "ui_extension"

[[extensions.targeting]]
module = "./src/Checkout.tsx"
target = "purchase.checkout.block.render"

[extensions.capabilities]
api_access = true
network_access = false
Step 2: Build with UI Components
tsx
import {
  reactExtension, Banner, BlockStack, Text, useSettings,
} from "@shopify/ui-extensions-react/checkout";

export default reactExtension("purchase.checkout.block.render", () => <CheckoutBanner />);

function CheckoutBanner() {
  const { banner_text } = useSettings();
  return (
    <BlockStack spacing="tight">
      <Banner status="info">{banner_text || "Free shipping over $50!"}</Banner>
    </BlockStack>
  );
}
Step 3: Read Checkout Data with Hooks
tsx
import {
  useApplyMetafieldsChange, useTotalAmount, useShippingAddress, TextField,
} from "@shopify/ui-extensions-react/checkout";

function DeliveryNote() {
  const applyMetafieldsChange = useApplyMetafieldsChange();
  return (
    <TextField
      label="Delivery instructions"
      onChange={(value) => applyMetafieldsChange({
        type: "updateMetafield",
        namespace: "custom", key: "delivery_note",
        valueType: "string", value,
      })}
    />
  );
}
Step 4: Bundle Size Strategies
bash
shopify app build --verbose  # Check output size
# Import only what you use — each component adds ~1-3KB
# Avoid lodash, date-fns, zod — use native JS
# Split into multiple extensions if approaching 64KB

See extension-targets.md for all targets, ui-components.md for components, and bundle-optimization.md for size strategies.

Output

  • Checkout UI extension rendering at the configured target point
  • Custom data collection via metafield writes from checkout
  • Merchant-configurable settings via the extension editor
  • Sandboxed execution with no impact on checkout performance

Error Handling

ErrorCauseSolution
EXTENSION_LOAD_FAILEDBundle exceeds 64KB or invalid codeTree-shake deps; check size with --verbose
Sandbox violationDOM access, fetch, or window usageUse only Shopify components and hooks
CHECKOUT_COMPLETION_BLOCKEDExtension error with block_progressAdd try/catch; test all edge cases
Target not renderingWrong target or not enabledVerify target in TOML; check admin placement

Examples

Adding a Custom Field to Checkout

Collect delivery instructions or gift messages by rendering a text input at a specific checkout target and saving the value as a cart metafield.

See Extension Targets for all available targets and placement options.

Building a Reusable Checkout Banner

Create a merchant-configurable promotional banner using Shopify's UI component library with proper accessibility.

See UI Components for available components and their key props.

Optimizing Extension Bundle Size

Your checkout extension is approaching the 64KB limit. Apply tree-shaking, dependency auditing, and extension splitting strategies.

See Bundle Optimization for size measurement and reduction techniques.
