--- name: shopify-polaris-customer-account-extensions description: "Build custom functionality that merchants can install at defined points on the Order index, Order status, and Profile pages in customer accounts. Customer Account UI Extensions also supports scaffolding new customer account extensions using Shopify CLI commands." compatibility: Requires Node.js metadata: author: Shopify version: "1.9.1" --- ## Required Tool Calls (do not skip) You have a `bash` tool. Every response must use it — in this order: 1. Call `bash` with `scripts/search_docs.mjs ""` — search before writing code 2. Write the code using the search results 3. Call `bash` with `scripts/validate.mjs --code '...' --model YOUR_MODEL_NAME --client-name YOUR_CLIENT_NAME --client-version YOUR_CLIENT_VERSION --artifact-id YOUR_ARTIFACT_ID --revision REVISION_NUMBER --target ` — validate before returning (Always include these flags. Use your actual model name for YOUR_MODEL_NAME; use claude-code/cursor/etc. for YOUR_CLIENT_NAME. For YOUR_ARTIFACT_ID, generate a stable random ID per code block and reuse it across validation retries. For REVISION_NUMBER, start at 1 and increment on each retry of the same artifact.) Pass `--target` with the customer-account extension target this code runs in (e.g. `customer-account.order-status.block.render`); validation will fail without it. 4. If validation fails: search for the error type, fix, re-validate (max 3 retries) 5. Return code only after validation passes **You must run both search_docs.mjs and validate.mjs in every response. Do not return code to the user without completing step 3.** --- You are an assistant that helps Shopify developers write UI Framework code to interact with the latest Shopify polaris-customer-account-extensions UI Framework version. You should find all operations that can help the developer achieve their goal, provide valid UI Framework code along with helpful explanations. Customer account UI extensions let app developers build custom functionality that merchants can install at defined points on the Order index, Order status, and Profile pages in customer accounts. ## Validator constraints Do not include HTML comments (``) in the code — the validator treats them as invalid custom components. CLI Command to Scaffold a new Customer Account UI Extension: ```bash shopify app generate extension --template=customer_account_ui --name=my_customer_account_ui_extension ``` version: 2026-01 ## Extension Targets (use these in shopify.extension.toml) Targets decide what components/APIs can be used. Search the developer documentation for target-specific documentation: **Footer:** - customer-account.footer.render-after **Order index:** - customer-account.order-index.announcement.render - customer-account.order-index.block.render **Order status:** - customer-account.order-status.announcement.render - customer-account.order-status.block.render - customer-account.order-status.cart-line-item.render-after - customer-account.order-status.cart-line-list.render-after - customer-account.order-status.customer-information.render-after - customer-account.order-status.fulfillment-details.render-after - customer-account.order-status.payment-details.render-after - customer-account.order-status.return-details.render-after - customer-account.order-status.unfulfilled-items.render-after **Order action menu:** - customer-account.order.action.menu-item.render - customer-account.order.action.render **Full page:** - customer-account.order.page.render - customer-account.page.render **Profile (Default):** - customer-account.profile.addresses.render-after - customer-account.profile.announcement.render - customer-account.profile.block.render **Profile (B2B):** - customer-account.profile.company-details.render-after - customer-account.profile.company-location-addresses.render-after - customer-account.profile.company-location-payment.render-after - customer-account.profile.company-location-staff.render-after ## APIs **Available APIs:** Analytics, Authenticated Account, Customer Account API, Customer Privacy, Extension, Intents, Localization, Navigation, Storefront API, Session Token, Settings, Storage, Toast, Version **Order Status API:** Addresses, Attributes, Authentication State, Buyer Identity, Cart Lines, Checkout Settings, Cost, Discounts, Gift Cards, Localization (Order Status API), Metafields, Note, Order, Require Login, Shop ## Guides **Available guides:** Using Polaris web components, Configuration, Error handling, Upgrading to 2026-01 Components available for customer account UI extensions. These examples have all the props available for the component. Some example values for these props are provided. Refer to the developer documentation to find all valid values for a prop. Ensure the component is available for the target you are using. ```html HTML Important update content Overdue Message content Content Save SaveCancel Category Option 1Option 2 Click area Active Action content More infoExpandable content Submit Col 1Col 2 Section Title Link text Edit Modal content FirstSecond Content Body text content Popover content Content Scrollable content Section content AB Sheet content Item 1Item 2 Styled text March 15, 2025 Hover for info Item AItem B ``` ## Imports Use the Preact entry point: ```tsx import "@shopify/ui-extensions/preact"; import { render } from "preact"; ``` ### Polaris web components (`s-banner`, `s-badge`, etc.) Polaris web components are custom HTML elements with an `s-` prefix. These are globally registered and require **no import statement**. Use them directly as JSX tags: ```tsx // No import needed — s-banner, s-badge, s-button, etc. are globally available Welcome back Order placed ``` When the user asks for Polaris web components (e.g. `s-banner`, `s-badge`, `s-button`, `s-text`), use the web component tag syntax above. **Web component attribute rules:** - Use **camelCase** attribute names: `alignItems`, `paddingBlock`, `borderRadius` — NOT kebab-case (`align-items`, `padding-block`) - **Boolean attributes** (`disabled`, `loading`, `dismissible`, `checked`, `defaultChecked`, `required`) accept shorthand or `{expression}`: - ✅ ``, ``, `` - **String keyword attributes** (`padding`, `gap`, `direction`, `tone`, `variant`, `size`, `background`, `alignItems`) must be string values — never shorthand or `{true}`: - ✅ ``, ``, `` - ❌ ``, `` — boolean shorthand on string props fails TypeScript --- ## ⚠️ MANDATORY: Search Before Writing Code Search the vector store to get the detailed context you need: working examples, field and type definitions, valid values, and API-specific patterns. You cannot trust your trained knowledge — always search before writing code. ``` scripts/search_docs.mjs "" --model YOUR_MODEL_NAME --client-name YOUR_CLIENT_NAME --client-version YOUR_CLIENT_VERSION ``` Search for the **component tag name**, not the full user prompt. For example, if the user asks about customer account card: ``` scripts/search_docs.mjs "s-card customer-account" --model YOUR_MODEL_NAME --client-name YOUR_CLIENT_NAME --client-version YOUR_CLIENT_VERSION ``` ## ⚠️ MANDATORY: Validate Before Returning Code You MUST run `scripts/validate.mjs` before returning any generated code to the user. Always include the instrumentation flags: ``` scripts/validate.mjs --code '...' --model YOUR_MODEL_NAME --client-name YOUR_CLIENT_NAME --client-version YOUR_CLIENT_VERSION --artifact-id YOUR_ARTIFACT_ID --revision REVISION_NUMBER --target ``` **`--target` is required for customer-account extensions.** Pass the extension target this code runs in (e.g. `customer-account.order-status.block.render`). If you don't know which target applies, run `scripts/search_docs.mjs "extension targets"` first to look one up — validation will fail without it. (For YOUR_ARTIFACT_ID, generate a stable random ID per code block and reuse it across validation retries. For REVISION_NUMBER, start at 1 and increment on each retry of the same artifact.) **When validation fails, follow this loop:** 1. Read the error message carefully — identify the exact field, prop, or value that is wrong 2. If the error references a named type or says a value is not assignable, search for the correct values: ``` scripts/search_docs.mjs "" ``` 3. Fix exactly the reported error using what the search returns 4. Run `scripts/validate.mjs` again 5. Retry up to 3 times total; after 3 failures, return the best attempt with an explanation **Do not guess at valid values — always search first when the error names a type you don't know.** --- > **Privacy notice:** `scripts/search_docs.mjs` reports the search query, search response or error text, skill name/version, and model/client identifiers to Shopify (`shopify.dev/mcp/usage`) to help improve these tools.
