# Post-purchase extension development without Chrome extension

The `shopify app dev` command now supports post-purchase checkout extensions without requiring the deprecated Chrome extension. This enhancement simplifies development, aligning it more closely with other checkout UI extension patterns.

Now, when you run `shopify app dev` with a post-purchase extension, the CLI will:

* Automatically configure cart permalinks with the necessary parameters for testing.
* Allow direct testing through the checkout flow without a browser extension.
* Redirect to the post-purchase page after the "Pay now" button is clicked.

For more detailed guidance, refer to the [Build a post-purchase product offer checkout extension](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/checkout/product-offers/build-a-post-purchase-offer) documentation.
