Issue: Trigger Modal Auto - Checkout UI Extensoin
Could you please provide an estimated timeline for the implementation of this feature? Having this information would be very helpful for our planning.
thank you
Hi Piyush,
Can you provide any details on this question? Is there a specific step you’re stuck on, for example? It’s difficult to provide an estimation like this without any details.
Hello @Liam-Shopify
I created a Modal from my checkout extension Now I want to open My Modal Directly without User Click on button or Link it’s possible?
I want timeline on this can you please provide?
Depending on your requirements, how many developers you’re working with, what current customisations are active, what third-party platforms you need to integrate with and if there’s other considerations around additional features, it could take between one week to a number of months to implement this.
From Partner Discussions to Extensions
Added checkout-ui-extensio and removed dev-stores
Hi again Piyush - I think I misunderstood your question - sorry about that!
You’d like to know when this functionality will be launched by Shopify? If so, I’ll connect with our team to see if there’s a timeframe to launching this.
Yes @Liam-Shopify we need a timeline for the launch. Could you please reach out to the team and get an update on this?
Thank you
@Liam-Shopify Hello, can you please share the approximate timeline for the launch?
Hey Piyush 
, as mentioned in the previous thread, automatically triggering a modal in Checkout is not possible today we do not intend to change that.
However, we are actively working on making that possible on post-checkout pages (Thank You page, Order status page, and in Customer Accounts). We don’t firm timelines just yet on when this will be available.
Hey,
@Osaru or @Liam-Shopify , any updates on this feature? It seems like both auto-open and manual open for modals is being discussed since early ‘24, yet we have not heard an update despite this still being requested across ‘25.
Hey @Matej_Machac, Shopify has made the decision to not support auto-open modals on post-checkout pages (Thank You page, Order Status page and other Customer Account pages).
Why this changed: While auto-open modals are effective at grabbing customer attention, they also prevent customers from accessing essential content and completing important actions on these pages. This change ensures a better overall checkout experience.
Your alternative: Announcement bars
Shopify has introduced announcement bars specifically designed for extensions that need prominent placement on post-checkout pages. While different from auto-open modals, announcement bars provide strong visibility for your content without blocking critical page functionality.
Getting started: Announcement bar support is available now through the 2025-07 Checkout & Customer Accounts UI extensions API.
Note that Shopify still does not offer auto-open modals on the checkout page and the announcement bar is strictly for post-checkout pages.
Hey @Osaru , thanks for the detailed response. I understand that the auto-open flow will probably never happen, as I share the general sentiment about it.
Is the general “open“ method also not considered? We would have a large use case for programmatically opening modals, as we use Modals heavily for subscription editing or cancellation flows and would benefit greatly from a native approach to confirmation dialog patterns. Essentially, we have modals from which we’d like to exit right into another modal. So far, we have a custom step-based approach where we stay within one modal for the entire flow duration, but this means a lot of potential functionality duplication and separation of concerns suffers a lot.
