Example: Checkout uses this to manage the state of an object and communicate state changes to extensions running in a sandboxed web worker. This interface is compatible with \[Preact's ReadonlySignal]\(https://github.com/preactjs/signals/blob/a023a132a81bd4ba4a0bebb8cbbeffbd8c8bbafc/packages/core/src/index.ts#L700-L709). Some fields are deprecated but still supported for backwards compatibility. In version 2025-10, \[\`StatefulRemoteSubscribable\`]\(https://github.com/Shopify/remote-dom/blob/03929aa8418a89d41d294005f219837582718df8/packages/async-subscription/src/types.ts#L17) was replaced with \`ReadonlySignalLike\`. Checkout will remove the old fields some time in the future. * current ```ts T ``` * destroy ```ts () => Promise ``` * subscribe Subscribes to value changes and calls the provided function whenever the value updates. Returns an unsubscribe function to clean up the subscription. Use to automatically react to changes in the signal's value. ```ts (fn: (value: T) => void) => () => void ``` * value The current value of the signal. This property provides immediate access to the current value without requiring subscription setup. Use for one-time value checks or initial setup. ```ts T ``` ### AppliedGiftCard * amountUsed The amount of the applied gift card that will be used when the checkout is completed. ```ts Money ``` * balance The current balance of the applied gift card prior to checkout completion. ```ts Money ``` * lastCharacters The last four characters of the applied gift card's code. ```ts string ``` ### Money * amount The price amount. ```ts number ``` * currencyCode The ISO 4217 format for the currency. ```ts CurrencyCode ``` ### CurrencyCode ```ts 'AED' | 'AFN' | 'ALL' | 'AMD' | 'ANG' | 'AOA' | 'ARS' | 'AUD' | 'AWG' | 'AZN' | 'BAM' | 'BBD' | 'BDT' | 'BGN' | 'BHD' | 'BIF' | 'BMD' | 'BND' | 'BOB' | 'BOV' | 'BRL' | 'BSD' | 'BTN' | 'BWP' | 'BYN' | 'BZD' | 'CAD' | 'CDF' | 'CHE' | 'CHF' | 'CHW' | 'CLF' | 'CLP' | 'CNY' | 'COP' | 'COU' | 'CRC' | 'CUC' | 'CUP' | 'CVE' | 'CZK' | 'DJF' | 'DKK' | 'DOP' | 'DZD' | 'EGP' | 'ERN' | 'ETB' | 'EUR' | 'FJD' | 'FKP' | 'GBP' | 'GEL' | 'GHS' | 'GIP' | 'GMD' | 'GNF' | 'GTQ' | 'GYD' | 'HKD' | 'HNL' | 'HRK' | 'HTG' | 'HUF' | 'IDR' | 'ILS' | 'INR' | 'IQD' | 'IRR' | 'ISK' | 'JMD' | 'JOD' | 'JPY' | 'KES' | 'KGS' | 'KHR' | 'KMF' | 'KPW' | 'KRW' | 'KWD' | 'KYD' | 'KZT' | 'LAK' | 'LBP' | 'LKR' | 'LRD' | 'LSL' | 'LYD' | 'MAD' | 'MDL' | 'MGA' | 'MKD' | 'MMK' | 'MNT' | 'MOP' | 'MRU' | 'MUR' | 'MVR' | 'MWK' | 'MXN' | 'MXV' | 'MYR' | 'MZN' | 'NAD' | 'NGN' | 'NIO' | 'NOK' | 'NPR' | 'NZD' | 'OMR' | 'PAB' | 'PEN' | 'PGK' | 'PHP' | 'PKR' | 'PLN' | 'PYG' | 'QAR' | 'RON' | 'RSD' | 'RUB' | 'RWF' | 'SAR' | 'SBD' | 'SCR' | 'SDG' | 'SEK' | 'SGD' | 'SHP' | 'SLL' | 'SOS' | 'SRD' | 'SSP' | 'STN' | 'SVC' | 'SYP' | 'SZL' | 'THB' | 'TJS' | 'TMT' | 'TND' | 'TOP' | 'TRY' | 'TTD' | 'TWD' | 'TZS' | 'UAH' | 'UGX' | 'USD' | 'USN' | 'UYI' | 'UYU' | 'UYW' | 'UZS' | 'VES' | 'VND' | 'VUV' | 'WST' | 'XAF' | 'XAG' | 'XAU' | 'XBA' | 'XBB' | 'XBC' | 'XBD' | 'XCD' | 'XDR' | 'XOF' | 'XPD' | 'XPF' | 'XPT' | 'XSU' | 'XTS' | 'XUA' | 'XXX' | 'YER' | 'ZAR' | 'ZMW' | 'ZWL' ``` ## CheckoutApi The API object provided to `purchase.checkout` extension targets. * **applyGiftCardChange** **(change: GiftCardChange) => Promise\** **required** Performs an update on the gift cards. It resolves when gift card change have been negotiated and results in an update to the value retrieved through the [`appliedGiftCards`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/apis/gift-cards#standardapi-propertydetail-appliedgiftcards) property. **Caution:** \> See \security considerations\ if your extension retrieves gift card codes through a network call. **Note:** This method will return an error if the buyer is using an accelerated checkout method, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay. ### GiftCardChange ```ts GiftCardAddChange | GiftCardRemoveChange ``` ### GiftCardAddChange * code Gift card code. ```ts string ``` * type The type of the \`GiftCardChange\` API. ```ts 'addGiftCard' ``` ### GiftCardRemoveChange * code The full gift card code, or the last four digits of the code. ```ts string ``` * type The type of the \`GiftCardChange\` API. ```ts 'removeGiftCard' ``` ### GiftCardChangeResult ```ts GiftCardChangeResultSuccess | GiftCardChangeResultError ``` ### GiftCardChangeResultSuccess * type Indicates that the gift card change was applied successfully. ```ts 'success' ``` ### GiftCardChangeResultError * message A message that explains the error.
