Adding Google Customer Reviews Opt-In Module to New Pixel Environment

Topic summary

Merchants are struggling to implement Google’s Customer Reviews Opt-In Module after migrating to Shopify’s new checkout extensibility. The traditional integration method no longer works on the updated thank you pages.

Core Issue:

  • Checkout extensibility has broken existing Google Customer Reviews survey pop-ups
  • The new system has strict design guidelines that prevent custom pop-ups from displaying
  • Shopify support has not provided an official solution despite the issue being known for months

Workarounds Identified:

  • Third-party apps that use proxy pages to display the opt-in module (multiple options mentioned, including paid solutions)
  • Switching to alternative review platforms supported by Google Shopping (reviews.io, Judge.me, Loox, etc.)
  • Some merchants report reviews are still being collected despite implementation challenges

Business Impact:
Google now requires Customer Reviews acceptance for merchants to achieve “top quality” status, making this a critical issue. The discussion remains unresolved with no official timeline from Shopify or Google, prompting frustration from multiple participants over the lack of response.

From what I was told by the developer of the app I currently use for the popup, it cannot be done with an app with the new checkout extensibility. I feel that neither Shopify or Google see this as a pressing issue since they are too busy rolling out AI crap to replace support people. Count me in on that lawsuit.
