Shopify Checkout Update for Fees
Shopify now requires customers to approve fees before checkout. To stay compliant and ensure that Magical Product Fees is available on the Shopify App Store, we are making updates that will take effect automatically. Without these updates, the app would be delisted from the Shopify App Store.
What’s Changing?
- Most stores (All Plans) – Customers will see a pop-up requiring them to accept fees before checkout. If they decline, related items will be removed.
- Shopify Plus – Fees will be built into the checkout, and customers must accept them before completing their order.
- POS users – No changes. Fees will continue to work as they do now.

How this impacts Shopify Plus
What You Need to Do
Most stores (All Plans) – No action needed. The fee approval pop-up will appear automatically.
Shopify Plus – Action required. You must update your checkout settings to ensure fees apply correctly:
- Go to Settings > Checkout in your Shopify admin.
- Under Configurations, click Customize next to your checkout.
- Click the Magical Product Fees block.
- Turn on “Allow app to block checkout.”
- Click Save.
Why Is This Changing?
Shopify has updated its policies to ensure transparency in fees and optional charges. Apps must:
- Display costs clearly and obtain explicit buyer consent before adding paid items to the storefront, cart, or checkout.
- Avoid automatically adding or pre-selecting paid items that increase the total checkout price.
FAQ
I liked how the app worked before. Why can’t I keep it that way?
This is a Shopify requirement, and we are required to make this change. There is no way around it.
What if a customer declines the fee?
The related item will be removed from their cart.
What if I don’t update my Shopify Plus settings?
Fees may not apply properly at checkout, which could lead to missing charges or incorrect order processing.
