Shopify deadline · August 26, 2026 · 52 days left
Your checkout tracking scripts stop working on August 26. Silently.
Shopify is shutting off Additional Scripts on every non-Plus store. Google Ads conversions, Meta pixel, affiliate postbacks — everything pasted into Settings → Checkout stops firing, with no error and no warning. PixelWard converts your legacy scripts into working Custom Pixels in minutes, then keeps watch and emails you the moment tracking breaks.
$19/month · 7-day free trial · takes about 10 minutes
Detects and converts scripts for
- Google Ads
- Meta
- TikTok
- Snapchat
- Microsoft Ads
- Affiliate networks
- GTM
Paste, convert, done
Drop in your Additional Scripts and get ready-to-paste Custom Pixel code for every tracker we detect — IDs extracted, order data mapped to the new checkout event payload.
Nothing lost in the sandbox
Custom Pixels can't touch the DOM or read Liquid variables. PixelWard flags exactly which parts of your script need attention instead of letting them fail quietly.
Know the moment it breaks
A broken pixel looks identical to a healthy one until your ad performance craters. PixelWard watches real events from your store and emails you the same day — not three weeks later.
How it works
- 1
Paste your legacy script
Copy everything from Settings → Checkout → Additional Scripts into the migration wizard.
- 2
Add the generated pixels
Paste each generated Custom Pixel into Settings → Customer events. About two minutes per tracker.
- 3
Stay protected
The health monitor watches pageviews, checkouts and purchases flowing through your pixels and alerts you if any go silent.
Migration is day one. Monitoring is every day after.
Tracking doesn't break loudly. A theme update, an app conflict, a consent-mode change — and your ROAS quietly falls off a cliff while the dashboards still look normal. PixelWard's heartbeat monitor is the smoke detector for your conversion tracking.
One plan. Everything included.
$19/month
- Unlimited script conversions
- All supported ad platforms and affiliate networks
- 24/7 pixel health monitoring with email alerts
- We hand-build pixels for scripts we can't auto-convert
Questions
What exactly happens on August 26, 2026?
Shopify permanently disables the Additional Scripts box on the Thank You and Order Status pages for all non-Plus stores. Any tracking code there stops executing. There is no error, no fallback and no extension of the deadline.
Does PixelWard see my customer data?
No. Script conversion happens on your pasted code, not your orders. The health monitor receives only an event name and an anonymous shop token — never customer information.
What if my script can't be auto-converted?
Some scripts rely on DOM access or Liquid variables that don't exist in the Custom Pixel sandbox. PixelWard flags these precisely, and hand-building a replacement pixel for you is included in the plan.
I'm on Shopify Plus. Do I need this?
Plus stores get until August 2026 for checkout.liquid and keep Additional Scripts slightly longer, but the same migration is coming. The health monitor is just as useful on Plus today.
