Test customer account UI extensions
Follow these guidelines to test your customer account UI extensions in different user scenarios. Recreating merchant and customer experiences helps ensure that extensions behave as desired in different locations.

The inline and order action menu extensions tutorials show you how to start generating and previewing extensions. Previewing UI extensions locally is different when you use static versus block targets.
Anchor to Static targetsStatic targets
When you're using a static target, the UI extension automatically renders in a chosen location.
Some static extensions on the Profile page only render for B2B customers. B2B on Shopify is only available on the Shopify Plus plan. Explore B2B Profile targets
Anchor to Block targetsBlock targets
When you're using a block target, merchants can place the UI extension in any of the supported placements on the page.
To preview a block extension in each supported placement, append ?placement-reference={name} to the customer account URL that's outputted by Shopify CLI. For example, ?placement-reference=ORDER_SUMMARY3.
