To complete the order action flow, you can link the button to a modal. For example, to prompt the customer to confirm the action, or surface additional UI needed to complete the order action. The [`CustomerAccountAction`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/components/customeraccountaction) component is a modal that renders the [`customer-account.order.action.render`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/targets/order-action-menu/customer-account-order-action-render) static extension target. If the order action experience you’re building requires complex forms or large amounts of information, you can alternatively also link a button to a [full-page extension](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/customer-accounts/full-page-extensions/build-new-pages), or any other function or action. *** ## Limitations The [`customer-account-order-action-menu-item-render`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/targets/order-action-menu/customer-account-order-action-menu-item-render) target only supports the [`s-button`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/checkout-ui-extensions/polaris-web-components/actions/button) component, which is available in the checkout UI component library. *** ## Developer tools and resources [![](https://shopify.dev/images/icons/48/pickaxe-1.png)![](https://shopify.dev/images/icons/48/pickaxe-1-dark.png)](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/extension-targets-overview) [Targets overview](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/extension-targets-overview) [Explore all extension targets available for customer account UI extensions.](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/extension-targets-overview) [![](https://shopify.dev/images/icons/48/blocks.png)![](https://shopify.dev/images/icons/48/blocks-dark.png)](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/polaris-web-components) [Polaris web components](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/polaris-web-components) [Learn about the components that you can use to build customer account UI extensions.](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/customer-account-ui-extensions/polaris-web-components) *** ## Next steps [![](https://shopify.dev/images/icons/48/growth.png)![](https://shopify.dev/images/icons/48/growth-dark.png)](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/customer-accounts/order-action-extensions/build-for-order-action-menus) [Build an order action menu extension](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/customer-accounts/order-action-extensions/build-for-order-action-menus) [Build extensions on the order action menu that enable customers to report a problem with their orders.](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/customer-accounts/order-action-extensions/build-for-order-action-menus) *** * [How it works](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/customer-accounts/order-action-extensions#how-it-works) * [Limitations](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/customer-accounts/order-action-extensions#limitations) * [Developer tools and resources](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/customer-accounts/order-action-extensions#developer-tools-and-resources) * [Next steps](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/customer-accounts/order-action-extensions#next-steps)
