Shopify’s Thank You & Order Status Page Update: What You Need to Know

If your Shopify store is on a non-Plus plan, an important update is coming. By August 26, 2026, all non-Plus stores must upgrade their Thank You and Order Status pages to Shopify’s new version. This update improves security, enhances customization options, and replaces outdated additional scripts with app blocks and web pixels.

For stores using custom scripts or third-party apps to modify these pages, this change requires action to ensure everything continues working smoothly. Not sure how this affects your store? Book a call with us today—we’ll walk you through it.

Why Is Shopify Changing These Pages?

Shopify is shifting to a more secure, upgrade-safe foundation for checkout and customer accounts. The new system provides more flexibility, but it also means that existing customizations built with additional scripts or apps may stop working if they aren’t updated.

For many merchants, this update impacts tracking, custom messaging, post-purchase upsells, and order status functionalities. If your store relies on these features, now is the time to plan your transition. Need help figuring out what to do next? Let’s talk—book a call today.

How This Affects Your Store

Once Shopify rolls out this update, older versions of the Thank You and Order Status pages will no longer be supported. If your store still uses outdated versions or custom scripts, you’ll need to transition your customizations to app blocks and pixels.

Some key areas that may be affected:
✔ Order tracking & customer notifications
✔ Custom thank-you page messaging
✔ Google Analytics and marketing tracking scripts
✔ Post-purchase upsells & cross-sells

If these functionalities are essential to your store, making the switch sooner rather than later will prevent disruptions to your customer experience. Not sure if your store is impacted? Let’s review your setup—book a call now.
