How to Disable “Checkout and Account UI Extensions Enabled” After Removing the Extension

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A developer removed a Checkout UI extension from their Shopify app but the “Checkout and account UI extensions are enabled” status persists in the Partner Dashboard’s API access settings.

The concern: This lingering status appears to restrict the app to Shopify Plus stores only, despite the extension being fully removed from:

  • The codebase
  • Partner Dashboard
  • shopify.app.toml file

Attempted solution: Running shopify app deploy successfully removed the extension with confirmation, but the dashboard setting remains unchanged.

Current status: Another community member suggests the Shopify Plus restriction may not actually be caused by the checkout UI extensions setting, noting their own public app has this enabled while remaining accessible to all store types. The root cause of the Plus-only restriction appears to stem from a different configuration, leaving the issue unresolved.

Hi Shopify Community,

Our app previously used a Checkout UI extension, but we have since fully removed it from both the codebase and the Partner Dashboard.

However, under our app’s API access settings, we still see:

“Checkout and account UI extensions are enabled”

This seems to be causing an issue where our app is now restricted to Shopify Plus stores only, despite no longer requiring any checkout-related features or APIs.

We’ve confirmed:

  • There are no active Checkout UI extensions in our app

  • No checkout scopes or APIs are used

  • The shopify.app.toml file does not include any related references

Question:
How can we disable or remove this “Checkout UI extensions enabled” status so our app is no longer flagged as requiring Shopify Plus?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Nouman_Ahmad,
Have you run the “shopify app deploy” command after removing the Checkout UI extension folder from your codebase?
You should see a confirmation prompt to delete the extension once you do.

Here is the document from Shopify for reference: https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/app-extensions/remove-app-extension#remove-a-cli-managed-app-extension

Hi @jaka_man ,
I’ve deployed it using “shopify app deploy” and the extension was removed, but I still get the same error, and I see this in my app configs in the dashboard.

I don’t think the restricted to Shopify Plus stores only is caused by the ‘Checkout and account UI extensions are enabled’ setting. Our public app also has this setting enabled, and it’s visible for all stores. The issue may be coming from a different configuration.
