Web components

Web components are the UI building blocks that you use to display data and trigger API functions. These components are native UI elements that follow Shopify's design system and render optimized interfaces for workflows in checkout.

Your target determines which components you can use because different locations in checkout have different interface requirements and constraints.

Constraints

You can't override the CSS for UI components. The checkout UI will always render the merchant's own branding. Checkout UI extensions don't have access to the real checkout DOM and can't render arbitrary HTML. They can only render custom HTML elements provided by Shopify.
