Checkout extension popover can't be closed from an internal button

[szafan]

Hello! We have a popover that displays additional help text. We want to have a button within the popover that dismisses the popover. However, calling ui.overlay.close("my-overlay") does not close the popover.

Based off of the documentation on ui.overlay.close(), I would expect this to work.

Supported overlay components are Modal, Sheet and Popover.

Here’s a repro example:

<BlockStack>
      <Link
        overlay={
          <Popover id="my-overlay">
            <View padding="base">
              <BlockStack spacing="base">
                Here's important information!
                <Button onPress={() => ui.overlay.close("my-overlay")}>
                  Got it. Clicking me won't close the overlay.
                </Button>
              </BlockStack>
            </View>
          </Popover>
        }
      >
        Need more help from a popover?
      </Link>

      <Link
        overlay={
          <Modal id="my-modal-overlay">
            <View padding="base">
              <BlockStack spacing="base">
                Here's important information!
                <Button onPress={() => ui.overlay.close("my-modal-overlay")}>
                  Got it. Clicking me will close the modal.
                </Button>
              </BlockStack>
            </View>
          </Modal>
        }
      >
        Need more help from a modal?
      </Link>
    </BlockStack>

Anyone run into something similar? Or have a workaround? Thank you!

Hey @szafan - looking into this for you, I’ll loop back with you once I have an answer or next steps, appreciate you flagging this!

[Alan_G]

Hey again @szafan, we’re looking into this as a potential bug and I’ve spoken with the product team for you on this. I can’t guarantee a turnaround time for a fix, but I’ll keep my eyes on this and update you as soon as I have more info.

Thanks again for raising this here.

[Alan_G]

Hey @szafan - just reaching back out here with some good news! A fix for this is deployed and should be live. Can you let us know if you’re still seeing the issue pop up? If so, I can definitely look into this further.

[szafan]

Woohoo! I’m also seeing that it’s fixed. Thanks for your help

Hey @Alan_G I’m still facing the issue with latest version “2025.7.1”

[Alan_G]

Hi @Himanshu_Soni , thanks for flagging this! Are you seeing this happen with a similar example to the one szafan shared earlier? If you’re open to share a repro example and a link to the affected shop, I’m more than happy to take a look and get back in touch with our product team to look into this with you.

Hope to hear from you soon!

[Himanshu_Soni]

@Alan_G Thanks for replying, here is the example.

<Modal id={id} onClose={()=>{handleClose()}} size="max" >
	<Button kind="primary" onPress={() => handleSelectQuote(selectedQuote)} >
		Protect my purchase
	</Button>
	<Button kind="secondary" onPress={()=> {
		console.log("no thanks");
		ui.overlay.close(id)
	}}>
		No, Thanks
	</Button>
</Modal>

[Alan_G]

No worries, thanks @Himanshu_Soni, I’ll try to replicate things on my end and loop back with you here once I have more info to share

[Alan_G]

Hey @Himanshu_Soni , I was able to work with our product team a bit more closely on this, and we weren’t able to replicate the issue. Would you be open to sharing a minimal reproduction of your extension where the error persists? If you’re open to sharing that, I can set up a DM and we can take a look at your code to see if we can replicate that way.

Hope to hear from you soon - let me know if you have a preferred way to share that and we can look into things further

[Alan_G]

Hey @Himanshu_Soni - just wanted to touch base with you here to see if you’re still seeing this issue pop up?

[Alan_G]

Going to close this thread out just for tracking, but let me know if I can help out further

[Himanshu_Soni]

Hey @Alan_G, thanks for following up.

I did a clean install, and it worked fine this time.
Looks like the issue was with some packages on my side. Appreciate your support!

[Alan_G]

Hey @Himanshu_Soni - glad things are working for you now, let me know if I can help out further!
