## What it does

This skill covered code for Shopify Checkout extensions that merchants can add at defined checkout points. Its scope included product information, shipping, payment, order summary, Shop Pay, and extension scaffolding through Shopify CLI.

\`shopify-polaris-checkout-extensions` is deprecated and replaced by `shopify`. Do not start new work on the old skill; remove it and add the current Shopify AI Toolkit skill instead.

The topic was limited to extension code. An app backend for storing data in your own database or verifying session tokens also requires `onboarding-dev` and Shopify's official backend libraries.

Checkout UI Extensions also supports scaffolding new checkout extensions using Shopify CLI commands. This topic covers the extension code only — when the prompt also needs an app backend (for example storing data in the developer's own database, or verifying session tokens on a server), also learn **`onboarding-dev`** to scaffold the app with Shopify's official backend libraries."
