  5. postmortem May 19, 2025, 01:56 PM UTC

    **Issue:** Some Shopify merchants experienced issues with widgets not displaying correctly in their checkouts. This was linked to a new feature we recently introduced within the checkout extension framework. The disruption was traced back to a logic issue that caused valid widget IDs to be misinterpreted as invalid, impacting the visibility of the widget during checkout. ‌ **Actions Taken:** * **Rollback to Stable Version:** As soon as the issue was confirmed, we rolled back to the last known-good version of the extension to limit further impact. * **Root Cause Fix:** Once identified, the root cause was addressed with a hot-fix to ensure valid widget IDs were recognized appropriately.
