// Shopify Checkout Upgrade Audit · Sydney

Did the August 2026 Shopify upgrade break your tracking?

On August 26, Shopify removed legacy checkout scripts from every non-Plus store. Orders still process — but for many stores, Meta and Google quietly stopped seeing them. We audit your real numbers, order by order, and show you exactly what's missing.

AUG 26 · 2026

What happened: Shopify permanently removed checkout.liquid, Additional Scripts and legacy script tags from all non-Plus stores. Anything pasted into those boxes — Meta pixels, GA4 tags, Google Ads conversions, affiliate scripts, custom checkout messages — stopped running. There's no error message. The most common sign is a yellow warning banner in Settings → Checkout that most merchants never open.

// The audit

Five checks. Real numbers. No jargon.

We don't guess from a script scanner. We pull your actual orders and match them against what each ad platform confirms it received.

Check 01 — Reconciliation

Order-by-order conversion match

Your last 30 days of Shopify orders vs. purchase events received by Meta, GA4 and Google Ads. The output is a number nobody else can show you: exactly how many sales your ad platforms never saw.

Check 02 — Dead scripts

Orphaned legacy tracking

Every pixel, tag and script that was living in Additional Scripts or injected into checkout — identified, and mapped to what replaced it (or didn't) after the upgrade.

Check 03 — Lost customisations

What the auto-upgrade deleted

Custom checkout fields, conditional messages, trust badges, delivery instructions — the small things that quietly converted, removed without a record. We list what's gone.

Check 04 — Double counting

Inflated & duplicate events

Old pixel plus new pixel firing together inflates your reported ROAS and corrupts Meta's learning. We find duplication and tell you which source to keep.

✓ before / after proof

Check 05 — Post-purchase pages

Thank-you & order status tracking

Surveys, affiliate confirmations and conversion tags on the pages that changed most in the upgrade. And if you take the fix: we re-run the full reconciliation afterwards, so you see the match rate rise — evidence, not promises.

// Questions

Straight answers.

How do I know if my store was affected?

If you're not on Shopify Plus and anyone ever pasted tracking code into Additional Scripts — or you used apps that injected scripts into checkout — the August 26 upgrade removed them. Open Settings → Checkout: a yellow warning banner about deprecated scripts is the clearest sign. But plenty of stores show no banner and still lost data, which is why we reconcile actual orders instead of guessing.

What access do you need?

Standard Shopify collaborator access (you approve the exact permissions), plus viewer access to your GA4 property and Meta Events Manager. No passwords, ever. Revoke everything the moment we're done.

What if the audit finds nothing wrong?

Then you get written confirmation that your tracking survived the upgrade — with the reconciliation numbers to prove it. That's evidence most stores can't produce, and we won't invent problems to sell a fix.

Can't my existing tracking app tell me this?

Tracking apps report on themselves — their dashboards grade their own homework. We're independent: we compare your Shopify order ledger against what each platform confirms it received. Different question, different answer.

My store isn't Australian — can you still help?

Yes. The upgrade hit every non-Plus store worldwide, and the audit works the same anywhere. We're Sydney-based, but reconciliation doesn't care about timezones.
