Is the checkout opening in a new tab a technical limitation? #47

Closed cordial closed 4 years ago

hey again!

I noticed you open the checkout using window.open and was wonder why you decided to load it in a new tab? Is it because if I were to open it in the same tab as the site, I would lose the ability to get back to the site after the checkout process? It isn't ideal having it in a different tab as it is but I was wondering if it is like this for a reason (I imagine there is one)?

Sorry, this is more a question that an issue.

Hey,

When using the Shopify checkout sdk, they want the checkout site to be loaded in a new tab instead of an iFrame. It’s not recommended to run the checkout in an iFrame in terms of security.

It can't just be run in the same tab as its on full page though?

Sure I guess you could do that, never thought much it tbh.
