# Checkout stays Shopify-hosted

Checkout for the Storefront is Shopify's hosted checkout, reached by following a Cart's `checkoutUrl`. We are not building a custom checkout.

Shopify sunset the Checkout APIs in 2025-04 — no `checkout*` mutation survives in the Storefront API — so a merchant-built checkout is no longer a supported path. Checkout UI extensions and checkout styling are Plus-only, and this store is on **Grow**. The one documented exception, the Shop Pay Wallet / Shop Components API, is Shop-Pay-only and states that it cannot be used on an existing store.

## Consequences

- The buyer's origin changes from `mozimo.in` to `shop.mozimo.in` at payment. That is a brand-owned subdomain, not a `*.myshopify.com` host.
- Anything requiring Checkout to be rendered, extended or styled by us is out of reach until the store moves to Plus — at which point it becomes a fresh effort, not a resumption of this one.
