On August 26, 2026, Shopify removes checkout.liquid's "Additional Scripts" box and every order-status page ScriptTag from every non-Plus store. If a merchant ever pasted a Google Ads snippet, a Meta Pixel, an affiliate postback, or a COD confirmation script into that box — and a huge number of small stores have, often years ago and half-forgotten — it goes dark that day. Conversion tracking silently stops. Nobody gets an error message; they just watch their ad platform's numbers drop and have no idea why. Checkout Rescue is the tool for the week that happens. It's now open in beta.

See Exactly What Breaks — for Free

Paste your Additional Scripts content, or let Checkout Rescue scan your ScriptTags directly, and it classifies what it finds against 16 known patterns: GA4, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, TikTok, Pinterest, Snapchat, Bing UET, Twitter, affiliate networks, and more. Every pattern gets an honest verdict, not a blanket "everything's broken" scare: some convert cleanly to the new system, some need a different Shopify feature entirely, and a few — anything that needs to touch the actual page DOM, like a post-purchase survey or a Hotjar snippet — genuinely can't be migrated to a pixel and Checkout Rescue says so plainly instead of pretending otherwise. It also clears up the single most common false alarm: post-purchase app extensions are not affected by this deadline — if your report says otherwise, something's wrong, not your setup.

The Rescue Package: Working Code, Not Just a Diagnosis

For the patterns that do convert, a one-time $49 unlock generates real, working web pixel code — the sandboxed replacement Shopify wants scripts to become — with your actual tracking IDs (GA4 measurement ID, Google Ads label, Meta Pixel ID, and so on) already filled in, not a generic template. For most of the common patterns, Checkout Rescue goes a step further and installs it automatically the moment you unlock it — no copy-paste, no visit to Settings → Customer events. If automatic install doesn't apply to your case, you get the ready-to-paste code instead, so nobody's left with just a report and no path forward.

One Look, Three Timestamps

The report doesn't just say "this will break" — it lines up the platform's own deadlines (Scripts and legacy checkout deprecation since February 2025, through the August 26, 2026 hard cutoff) against what's actually sitting in your store today, so you know precisely what needs attention and by when, instead of digging through Shopify's changelog yourself.

Where It's Going

Checkout Rescue is deliberately small in scope — a fast, honest fix for a narrow, dated problem, not a general analytics suite. It's in Shopify's App Store review queue now, aimed squarely at the merchants who are going to discover this the hard way sometime between August and October. If that's you, or a client's store you manage, the free scan takes under a minute and tells you exactly where you stand.
