Modal
Modals are a special type of overlay that shift focus towards a specific action/set of information before the main flow can proceed. They must be specified inside the overlay prop of an activator component (Button, Link or Pressable).
The library automatically applies the WAI-ARIA Dialog pattern to both the activator and the modal content.

Examples
Basic Modal
React
import { reactExtension, useApi, Button, Link, Modal, TextBlock, } from '@shopify/ui-extensions-react/checkout'; export default reactExtension( 'purchase.checkout.block.render', () => <Extension />, ); function Extension() { const {ui} = useApi(); return ( <Link overlay={ <Modal id="my-modal" padding title="Return policy" > <TextBlock> We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return. </TextBlock> <TextBlock> To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase. </TextBlock> <Button onPress={() => ui.overlay.close('my-modal') } > Close </Button> </Modal> } > Return policy </Link> ); }JS
import { extension, Button, Link, Modal, TextBlock, } from '@shopify/ui-extensions/checkout'; export default extension('purchase.checkout.block.render', (root, {ui}) => { const modalFragment = root.createFragment(); const modal = root.createComponent( Modal, {id: 'my-modal', title: 'Return policy', padding: true}, [ root.createComponent( TextBlock, undefined, 'We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.', ), root.createComponent( TextBlock, undefined, 'To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.', ), root.createComponent( Button, { onPress() { ui.overlay.close('my-modal'); }, }, 'Close', ), ], ); modalFragment.appendChild(modal); const link = root.createComponent( Link, {overlay: modalFragment}, 'Return policy', ); root.appendChild(link); });
Anchor to best-practicesBest Practices
Use modals if:
The information needed to be shown is not critical in completing the checkout process and information cannot be condensed into one sentence.
The information the buyer is entering requires less than two rows of input fields.
The information the buyer is entering is not reliant on information on the page (which is underneath the modal and not visible to them).
