See every featureOn August 26, 2026 the Additional Scripts box and order status script tags were removed from non-Plus stores. Google Ads, Meta, GA4 and affiliate scripts placed there stopped firing without warning. Checkout Rescue reads your installed script tags, classifies the Additional Scripts you paste in and shows which ones stopped and how to restore each.
On August 26, 2026 Shopify stops running Additional scripts on your Thank you and Order status pages. Purchase tags there stop firing, no error — your ad numbers flatten. Holdfast reads that box and rebuilds your GA4, Meta and TikTok tags as an official Web Pixel. GA4 also gets a server-side copy from your store, so an order lands even if the browser never fires. Only one copy counts.
