Shopify Ends Developer Preview for Checkout and Customer Account UI Extensions in 2026

What Changed

Shopify has officially ended the developer preview for checkout and customer account UI extensions, making them generally available by default. All new development shops on the Shopify Plus plan now have automatic access to checkout UI extensions, while all new development shops across every plan gain access to customer account UI extensions. Importantly, existing development shops remain unaffected and will continue operating under their current configuration.

Why This Matters

This graduation from preview status signals Shopify's confidence in these extension capabilities and removes barriers for new developers wanting to customize critical customer touchpoints. Developers can now immediately build personalized checkout experiences and enhanced customer account interfaces without waiting for access approvals or worrying about preview limitations. With checkout UI extensions becoming standard on Plus plans and customer account extensions available universally, the platform is democratizing advanced customization tools that directly impact conversion rates and customer retention.
