Customizing Order Status/Thank You page - changing from script to Checkout Extensibility

Store Design

Topic summary

A Shopify Basic user needs to migrate from deprecated Additional Scripts on the Thank You/Order Status page to Checkout Extensibility. They previously used custom scripts to display Order Notes when present.

Key clarification:

  • Shopify Basic stores can add UI extensions to Thank You and Order Status pages (not full Checkout)
  • Only Shopify Plus has access to complete checkout customization

Proposed solution:
The Shopify Checkout Blocks app was recommended as a replacement. It allows:

  • Adding banner text to Thank You/Order Status pages
  • Using liquid variable {{ checkout.note }} to dynamically display order notes

Status: The user confirmed they’re headed in the right direction with the Checkout Extensibility approach. A specific app solution has been provided but not yet confirmed as implemented.

Using the Dawn theme. Just on Shopify Basic, not Plus. I had been using the Order Notes and added a script to the Thank You/Order Status page under Additional Scripts that would show the Order Note if its not blank.

Since that is deprecated and we need to upgrade to the Checkout Extensibility feature, is there an easy way to replace that Order Note being displayed?

Hi Fiddy,

While I’m not sure of any specific apps that provide this feature, according to Shopify’s documentation, you can use Thank You/Order Status page extensions on Shopify Basic:

“Stores that subscribe to the Shopify Plus plan can add UI extensions to their Checkout, Thank you and Order Status pages. Stores on Basic, Shopify, and Advanced plans can only add UI extensions to their Thank you and Order Status pages. Merchants can install apps from the Shopify App Store or build custom apps that contain UI extensions.”

Hope this helps,

Hi Fiddy, you can use the Shopify Checkout Blocks app, to add banner text on the thank you page / order status page, in the content field, you can use {{ checkout.note }} to show the order notes.
