Shopify has officially announced the end of Shopify Scripts, a feature that many Shopify Plus stores relied on for advanced checkout customization.
If your store currently uses Scripts for discount logic, shipping rules, or payment customization, this change directly affects you.
Here is everything you need to know and what actions you should take.
Shopify Scripts Deprecation Timeline
Shopify has provided a clear timeline for the transition.
April 15, 2026
- You can no longer edit Shopify Scripts
- You can no longer publish new Scripts
June 30, 2026
- All Shopify Scripts will stop running completely
After this date, any functionality built with Scripts will stop working.
This means discount logic, shipping rules, bundle discounts, and payment rules created with Scripts will break unless migrated.
Why Shopify Is Replacing Scripts
Shopify is moving toward Shopify Functions, which is a more scalable and performant system.
Shopify Functions allow developers to:
- Build checkout logic with better performance
- Run code directly inside Shopify infrastructure
- Support modern extensibility features
- Integrate easily with public and private apps
In short, Shopify Functions are the future of checkout customization.
Common Shopify Scripts That Need Migration
Many Shopify Plus stores currently use Scripts for:
1. Advanced Discount Logic
Examples:
- Buy 2 Get 1 Free
- Tiered discounts
- Wholesale pricing
- Customer tag-based discounts
2. Payment Method Rules
Examples:
- Hide payment methods based on cart value
- Restrict payment options for specific customers
3. Shipping Customization
Examples:
- Free shipping based on conditions
- Hide shipping methods
- Custom shipping rules
4. Bundle & Cart Logic
Examples:
- Product bundle discounts
- Cart-based promotional rules
All these can now be recreated using Shopify Functions.
How to Identify Scripts in Your Store
Before migrating, you should audit your store.
Shopify recommends using the Scripts Customizations Report inside your admin.
This report helps you identify:
- Which Scripts are active
- What logic they apply
- Whether they can be replaced with Shopify Functions or public apps
This makes migration planning much easier.
Why You Should Migrate Early
Waiting until June 2026 is risky.
Early migration gives you time to:
- Test checkout behavior
- Ensure discounts work correctly
- Avoid checkout errors
- Prevent revenue loss
Many merchants underestimate how complex their Scripts are.
Migrating early ensures a smooth transition.
Migrating Shopify Scripts to Shopify Functions
Migration usually involves:
- Analyzing existing Shopify Scripts
- Rebuilding logic using Shopify Functions
- Testing checkout behavior
- Deploying functions safely to production
In some cases, functionality may also require custom Shopify apps.
An experienced Shopify developer can help ensure that the migration does not affect your store’s checkout performance or conversion rates.
