When will it (if ever) be possible to move/hide core checkout elements such as the Discount Code field? Also, any plans for advanced validation of custom input fields beyond Regex or length?
hey I am not sure if this is the rigth place but I was looking for a answer for some time
I was told by a shopify representative by show that you are working on multi shipping (one order shipping to multiple addressees) and that its in the pipeline is there any timeline for when we can expect this feature
hi there! We recently launched split shipping in checkout where an order arriving in multiple packages can surface this information in checkout. There are no timelines on whether/when one order going to multiple destinations will be supported. Are you able to share any details about the use case you are trying to achieve?
Hello! We’re thinking about how we might make the discount input at checkout more configurable but I don’t have a date for any changes yet. Can you tell us more about your use case?
Hello! Today the best way to achieve this is with checkout UI extensions. They have access to the products in the cart, as well as discount codes applied. The UI extensions can use the cart API to add/remove products from the cart.
How to properly detect in Checkout Extensions if Shipping or local pickup has been selected even when there are no options? That is, if shipping is selected in the UI, but there are no shipping rates, there are no delivery groups. Likewise, if Local Pickup is selected but no stores have enough stock to fulfil the cart, there are no delivery groups.
When there are no delivery/pickup options, extensions using the render-before and render-after targets aren’t rendered at all. What is the workaround for these? (We want to show an error to the user if they wanted to do local pickup (not delivery), but some items in the cart are preventing it).
Are there any updates on this? We tried using applyAttributeChange with API version 2024-07, but we now receive the error: “applyAttributeChange is not supported on this checkout. Consider checking ‘instructions.attributes’ first.” Is applyAttributeChange just not supported for draft orders, or are we doing something wrong?
We have checkouts that have a TITLE dropdown field in the customer address forms.
At the moment it looks like we can’t insert fields into the address forms only add new fields above or below them, which does not work for this purpose.
Is there any way to add fields within the address or any plans for Shopify to natively support titles in customer records?
the season i am asking is because of the new split shipment in shopify and i was think that that is heading in the same direction to allow to split the shipment to also different addresses
for the use case we have a lot of customers buying holiday gifts for family and friends living across the us sending even up to 30 deliveies at once with our current system and after looking at giftShip and multiShip which are good solution it still lacks some features we need like order import from the front and backend and these are also very slow
For discount code fields, it’s a really common use-case to want to hide this. A lot of this has to deal with a merchant who maybe doesn’t want to deal with the back and forth of conflicting ux around automatic discounts when a customer tries to input their own only to find the automatic discount is best deal.
Only current way to remove discount field at checkout is to remove every single discount in the shop? Wild. At least with checkout extensibility this should be possible but even better would be settings for merchant in admin.
Thanks for flagging this, we are investigating on our end. Our engineering team has added a comment on the public issue, and you are welcome to continue engaging there to help us narrow down the problem.
This is a limitation at the moment and is a future enhancement which we will consider.
Static extension targets are bound to the section they are a part of, so are hidden when that section is also hidden. The alternative is to use a dynamic extension point and one of the placement references we provide for dynamic extension targets e.g. [DELIVERY1] or [DELIVERY2] placements. Take a look at https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/2024-07/extension-targets-overview#checkout-locations-shipping for more information. We’ll also consider the feedback and whether we should still render these extensions in the event where no delivery groups are returned, but Shopify shows the UI that no options are available.
I couldn’t find a solution for “Access denied for quantityAvailable field. Required access: unauthenticated_read_product_inventory access scope” on ProductVariant. I’ve added ‘unauthenticated_read_product_inventory’ to the scope in the TOML file and I can see it from my Shopify Partners Dashboard in configured scopes.
You can consider using the “require billing address and shipping address to match” setting in checkout settings, which will hide the billing address form on the payment step.
