Checkout Blocks lets you customize your thank you and order status pages, without code. Add content blocks for post-purchase information and set order value limits. Shopify Plus merchants can extend these customizations to the full checkout, with custom fields like optional delivery notes or required terms agreements, address format validation, options to hide or reorder delivery and payment methods, and order or shipping discounts.
Do I need Shopify Plus to customize my checkout, or does this work on all plans?
Full checkout page customization with Checkout Blocks is exclusive to Shopify Plus merchants. Merchants on the Basic plan or higher can only use the static and dynamic content blocks on their Thank You and Order Status pages — not the live checkout itself. This distinction frustrates some merchants who install expecting full checkout control, only to find it requires a Shopify Plus subscription.
Is this app actually free, or will I hit a paywall?
The app is listed as free on the Shopify App Store and there are no subscription tiers within the app itself. However, accessing the most powerful features — custom fields, payment/delivery method control, address validation, and custom discounts — requires a Shopify Plus plan, which starts at approximately $2,300/month. Some merchants in reviews have flagged this as misleading, noting that certain previously free features (like adding free gifts to checkout) have since been removed or gated.
Will this app slow down my checkout page?
Checkout Blocks was built entirely on Shopify's Checkout Extensibility platform using Checkout UI Extensions, Shopify Functions, and metaobjects — meaning Shopify handles hosting, scaling, and performance rather than an external server. The developer migrated app configuration data to Shopify's metaobjects infrastructure, which reduced global server traffic by 90% and improved load times globally. Customizations are also fully compatible with Shop Pay and do not compromise checkout loading speeds.
Can I set this up myself without a developer?
Yes — Checkout Blocks is designed for no-code setup. After installation, it appears under Sales Channels in your Shopify admin (not under Apps), and you configure blocks through the checkout editor with a drag-and-drop interface. Shopify Plus merchants can add custom fields, set display rules, configure discounts, and hide or reorder delivery and payment methods — all without writing code. Official documentation is available in the Shopify Help Center.
What exactly can I do with this app as a Shopify Plus merchant?
Plus merchants get access to the full feature set: adding custom content blocks (text, images, upsells) to the checkout, thank you, and order status pages; creating custom fields like optional delivery notes or required terms agreements; validating address formats and setting order value limits; hiding, renaming, and reordering delivery and payment methods; and configuring custom order and shipping discounts with conditional rules beyond Shopify's default discount builder.
Does it integrate with Klaviyo or other marketing tools?
Yes — Checkout Blocks integrates with Klaviyo by capturing first-party customer data via custom fields at checkout, which then syncs as new events and customer properties in Klaviyo to enable smarter, data-driven marketing. The app works with Shopify's native checkout infrastructure and is compatible with Shopify Admin and Customer Accounts. Note that some merchants have reported compatibility issues with third-party tools like Global-E / Shopify Markets, so if you use international commerce middleware, verify compatibility before installing.
What do other merchants say — are there any red flags I should know about?
The app holds a 4.1/5 rating across 174 reviews, with 71% being 5 stars and 14% being 1 star. Merchants praise its no-code ease of use, reliable performance, and Shopify's support team. However, recurring complaints include features being quietly removed over time, the checkout customization requiring Plus being seen as misleading for the app name, and occasional bugs with conditional logic (e.g., delivery method hiding rules not working as documented). Support is provided directly by Shopify.
