Editor's Note
If you sell into Shopify Plus merchants, this matters.
Shopify Scripts are being sunset. That means a lot of old discount, shipping, and payment logic that was set years ago will need to be replaced.
This is one of those platform shifts that creates a real buying window. Merchants and agencies are forced to revisit checkout logic, and the moment they do, they evaluate options again.
This issue stays light, but gives a clear plan for app founders:
what breaks
who is affected
what to do this week
how to message it calmly
how to use it as a warm distribution hook
Let’s get into it.
Shopify Scripts Is Going Away
A founder-first playbook for what breaks, what to do next, and how to turn it into distribution.
Hello Founders,
Today’s issue: Shopify Scripts Is Going Away
Here’s what you’ll find inside:
What Scripts were used for in plain English (discount, shipping, payment rules)
Who is affected (Plus merchants, agencies, apps near checkout workflows)
The two replacement paths merchants will pick between:
custom rebuild using Shopify Functions
Functions-powered apps that package common Script-style logic behind a UI
A “do this week” checklist for founders (FAQ, docs update, forwardable help page, support macro)
Copy-paste messaging templates for merchants and agencies
How to turn this change into warm conversations with Plus agencies without sounding salesy
A practical example of the app-based path, plus a simple way to refer merchants who want handholding
