What’s Happening to Shopify Scripts?

Shopify has announced the deprecation of Shopify Scripts, meaning that merchants who rely on them for checkout customisations will need to transition to Shopify Functions before support ends.

Why Is Shopify Deprecating Scripts?

Shopify Scripts, which run on Ruby, were once a great tool for customising discounts, shipping rates, and payment rules. However, they come with limitations:

  • Only available on Shopify Plus

  • Not compatible with the new Checkout Extensibility

  • Require Ruby expertise

  • Don’t work with headless commerce setups

  • Limited functionality compared to modern extensibility options

Shopify is replacing Scripts with Shopify Functions, which are faster, more scalable, and more flexible.

How Can You Migrate Shopify Scripts to Shopify Functions?

If your store relies on Shopify Scripts, you’ll need to migrate them to Shopify Functions before Scripts become fully obsolete. The good news? Our system can convert your existing Scripts into Shopify Functions, ensuring no loss in functionality.

What Can Shopify Functions Do?

Shopify Functions offer enhanced performance and greater flexibility for:
Custom Discounts (percentage-based, fixed amount, BOGO, etc.)
Custom Shipping Rules (dynamic rate adjustments)
Payment Customisation (restricting/modifying payment options)
Cart & Checkout Logic (special rules for customer groups, order value conditions, etc.)

Unlike Scripts, Shopify Functions run on WebAssembly (Wasm), making them faster and more secure.

How Can We Help You Migrate?

2️⃣ Rewrite the logic using Shopify Functions (in both Rust and Typescript)
3️⃣ Integrate the new functionality into your store
4️⃣ Test & Optimise for a seamless experience

When Should You Migrate?

Since Shopify Scripts will stop working entirely once Checkout Extensibility takes full effect, it's crucial to migrate now. Migrating early means:


✔ Avoiding disruptions when Scripts are fully deprecated
