# checkout\_started now triggers on every checkout visit in checkout extensibility.

As of August 17, 2023 4:30 pm EDT, **checkout\_started** now triggers on every checkout visit in checkout extensibility.

The customer event, **checkout\_started**, will now trigger for all checkout visits if you upgraded to checkout extensibility. Previously, it only triggered the first time you entered the checkout.

Additional event data will provide additional insights into the customer journey. The customer event reference can be found [here](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/pixels/customer-events#checkout_started).
