Creating or updating script tags blocked

1 October 2026Upcoming

Who is affected

All apps using script tags on the online store

What it changes

No new measurement tool can install via script tag; an app embed block or a Web Pixel is required.

What to do

The replacement runs through customer events for measurement and checkout extensions for anything shown on screen. Putting a script back in the same place will not make it run again: the mechanism itself is gone.
