Shopify checkout cart permalink does not work

Hello Guys.

We have an applications, and currently working with thousands of stores.

We have an embeded application, what can modify the cart’s page form like this:

<form action="/cart?checkout[shipping_address][address1]=Izs%C3%A1ki%20%C3%BAt%2069.&amp;checkout[shipping_address][city]=Kecskem%C3%A9t&amp;checkout[shipping_address][country]=hu&amp;checkout[shipping_address][zip]=6000&amp;checkout[shipping_address][province]=" class="cart__contents critical-hidden" method="post" id="cart">

We experience from yesterday this not prefills the checkout at all.

I did not see any related changes here:

Can you guys please check it what is going on here?

Thank you for your response!

Hey @Akos_Paska - this might be related to an issue we’ve been tracking:

I’ve shared your example internally and I’ll keep you up to date here as soon as I have more info :slight_smile:

we are also not getting these fields prefilled from what we collect on cart page to the shipping fields.

Hey folks - quick update here. I’ve added the newer address-prefill examples from this thread to the internal issue we’re tracking. This still appears to be actively under investigation, but I don’t have an ETA to share yet.

One thing I’m trying to separate is the exact URL path involved. The documented cart permalink format is /cart/{variant_id}:{quantity}?checkout[...], while the examples here are existing-cart/cart-form or direct checkout paths. If anyone can reproduce this with a dummy documented cart permalink as well, that would be super helpdul narrow down whether we’re looking at one issue or a related path-specific issue.

For Plus merchants, checkout extensibility may be a workable temporary option for shipping address prefill in some builds, but it won’t be a full replacement for every email/phone/address URL-prefill flow.

I’ll keep this thread updated as soon as I have a more concrete answer on our end.

@Alan_G Hello Shopify folks.

Is there any update on this issue?

We have to inform our clients every day why one of our key features does not work. :confused:

Is there any ETA, or how you guys see, when will be this resolved?

Thank you for your support and work guys!

Hey @Akos_Paska - quick update here. We’ve pushed a fix that should resolve the prefill issue.

The shipping-address behaviour in your example may be a separate path-specific issue though, since we haven’t been able to reproduce address parameters failing through /cart/checkout, while your app appears to submit through /cart?....

Could you retest now and, if it’s still failing, share a fresh redacted example showing the exact form action/method and whether the same address works with a documented /cart/{variant_id}:1?checkout[...] permalink? That’ll help me get the remaining case tracked correctly.

I’ll keep you in the loop.
