Checkout - Chat UI Component "No placement available"

Hello,

I have created an app which permits my customers to deploy a Chat widget on their checkout & thank you page (doc).

One of my customers (Shopify Plus plan) has an issue, when he selects the widget and tries to add it to his pages, the “+” button is disabled and the tooltip indicates “No placement available”. It works well for my other customers.

See screenshot below:

Could it be because of other extensions also defining a Chat UI component and then there is a conflict ? Or the cause is somewhere else?

Thank you for your insights.

Hey @guifo - just confirming this is likely because the chat target is already taken on that checkout profile.

For chat extensions, Shopify only allows a single active extension within the chat targets at any given time. So if the merchant already has another chat extension active for Checkout/Thank you, the editor can show “No placement available” for another one:

I’d have them check their checkout editor for any existing active chat widget/customization, remove or deactivate it, then try adding yours again. Also worth confirming they’re editing the Plus store/profile and that your app is a public app with Chat access approved.

Let me know if I can clarify anything on our end here, hope this helps!
