How to Tell If Your Store Still Uses Shopify Scripts

How to Tell If Your Store Still Uses Shopify Scripts

Shopify Scripts stops working on June 30, 2026. Before you can plan a migration, you need to know whether you actually use Scripts, and many merchants are not sure, especially if an agency or a past developer set them up. Here is the two-minute check.

Check 1: open the Script Editor

The fastest answer. In your Shopify admin, look for the Script Editor app (Scripts are a Shopify Plus feature, so this only exists on Plus stores). Open it. If you see any active scripts listed, those are exactly what stops working on June 30, 2026. Note what each one does, you will need that list to migrate.

If the Script Editor app is not installed and never was, you almost certainly do not have Scripts.

Check 2: think about your checkout behavior

Scripts power three kinds of behavior. If any of these happen on your store, a Script may be behind it:

  • Automatic discounts at checkout that are not regular discount codes, for example "spend $100, save 10%," a free gift in the cart, or a returning-customer reward.
  • Shipping rate rules, like hiding express over a weight, renaming a rate, or reordering options.
  • Payment method rules, like hiding cash on delivery above a total, or reordering wallets.

If you see these but cannot find a corresponding automatic discount or customization in the admin, a Script is likely doing it.

Check 3: ask whoever built your store

If an agency or freelancer set up your checkout, ask them directly: "Do we use any Shopify Scripts, and what do they do?" It is a one-line question that saves a lot of guessing.

If you find Scripts

You have until June 30, 2026 to move them to Shopify Functions. Start here:

Not sure, or no time?

Quick answers

Frequently asked questions

When do Shopify Scripts stop working?
Shopify Scripts stop working on June 30, 2026. Any active scripts you have will simply stop running after that date, so you need to migrate the logic to Shopify Functions before the deadline. The first step is confirming whether you actually use Scripts at all.
How do I check if my Shopify store uses Scripts?
The fastest check is to open the Script Editor app in your admin, which only exists on Shopify Plus stores; any active scripts listed there are what stops working on June 30, 2026. If the app was never installed, you almost certainly do not have Scripts. You can also look for automatic checkout discounts, shipping rate rules, or payment method rules that have no matching setting in the admin, since a Script is likely behind them.
What do I do if I find active Shopify Scripts?
Note what each script does and migrate it to Shopify Functions before June 30, 2026. Start with the full Scripts to Functions migration guide, then work by type for discounts, shipping, and payment customizations. If you are unsure or short on time, sending a screenshot of your Script Editor to a developer is enough to scope the move.
