Introduction
In anticipation of Shopify's checkout.liquid deprecation, I partnered with Freshwater Company to to create an advanced Checkout UI extension for Botanic Tonics brand. This solution utilizes Checkout Extensibility, offering Botanic Tonics precise control over their checkout process with the new checkout editor.
The Challenge
Developing a custom Checkout UI extension for Botanic Tonics presented several challenges:
- Checkout Extensibility was new, with limited resources and examples, requiring a steep learning curve.
- As an early adopter, I encountered unique issues with no existing solutions.
- Additionally, the merchant wanted to customize the app via the checkout editor so he could add new restrictions without developer assistance, but the editor lacked essential input types for URLs and selecting products, limiting customization options.
- Finally, deploying the extension to make changes accessible to users was also a crucial aspect of the process.
The Solution
Within a tight 1-week deadline, I leveraged my web and Shopify expertise to quickly master the new Checkout Extensibility system through resources and community engagement.
As an early adopter, I encountered unique issues with no existing solutions. I relied on my problem-solving skills and expertise in web development to find workarounds and create custom solutions tailored to Botanic Tonics' needs.
To enable Botanic Tonics to customize the app via the checkout editor, I extended the editor's functionality by adding essential input types to easily add new restrictions, such as zip codes or states, without requiring coding expertise.
Finally, I ensured that the checkout app extension was deployed and accessible to Botanic Tonics' users. I tested the app thoroughly to ensure a smooth user experience and made any necessary adjustments. Here is a snapshot of the final result in Botanic Store:
