Which app replaces my Shopify Scripts discounts?
Who this guide is for
This guide is for Shopify merchants whose Scripts stopped working. Shopify retired Scripts and the Script Editor app on June 30, 2026, so a Script that ran your "buy 3, save 10%" ladder, your VIP price or your "no codes during the sale" rule does nothing today.
We compared 7 apps found by searching the Shopify App Store for "shopify scripts", "scripts migration", "script editor" and "shopify functions discount". Every competitor fact comes from the app's Shopify App Store listing, checked on November 12, 2026. We did not install the other apps. Prices are per month, in US dollars, and can change.
Shopstack makes Discount Genie, one of the apps on this list. It is listed first, and every app is described from its own listing.
What Shopify does on its own
Shopify's Help Center says Scripts "no longer run on any store" and tells merchants to "use an app that provides functions" for discounts, shipping and delivery options, and payment methods. A Function is a small program inside an app that runs during cart and checkout, for example "take 15% off when the cart holds 3 totes". Each item below links the Shopify page it comes from (checked November 12, 2026).

- Under Method, select Automatic discount, and set the value and any minimum purchase.
- Save the discount.

- Shipping Scripts: Discount Genie gives shipping discounts. To rename, hide or reorder delivery options, SMART Functions Creator, PowerX, Icona and Checkout Rules & Discounts list delivery rules, and Shopify Checkout Blocks lists them for Shopify Plus stores.
- Payment Scripts: PayLogic is built only for payment methods and lists a one-click Scripts importer. SMART Functions Creator, PowerX, Icona and Checkout Rules & Discounts also list payment rules.
- Hands-on migration help: Discount Genie's Scale plan, for Shopify Plus stores, includes help moving your Scripts logic into Discount Genie rules. PowerX lists "Scripts to Functions migration support" on its Enterprise plan.
Discount Genie
Discount Genie (by Shopstack, the team behind this guide) has 5.0 from 50+ reviews on the Shopify App Store. Install it from Discount Genie on the Shopify App Store. It is a Shopify discount app built on Shopify Functions: each discount type is a Function you set up in a form, so you rebuild a Script without writing Ruby. It runs on every Shopify plan, Plus or not.
How each line item Script maps:
- "Buy 3, get 10% off. Buy 6, get 15% off." A Volume discount. The standard version is on the basic free plan.
- "Spend $100, get 10% off. Spend $200, get 15% off." A Tiered order discount. The standard version is on the basic free plan.
- BOGO and "buy X, get Y". A Buy X Get Y discount. The Classic and Volume styles are on the basic free plan. Bundled pricing, Cart subtotal and Purchase amount need a paid plan.
- Price for customers tagged VIP or wholesale. A customer tag condition on the discount, on every plan. The shopper must be logged in.
- Percent off products with a tag. A Product discount aimed at a collection you build from the tag in Shopify.
- No discount codes during a sale. A rejection rule with Limit codes in cart and No codes allowed, on every plan. See limit and block discount codes.
Shipping and payment Scripts are only partly covered. Discount Genie gives shipping discounts, such as free shipping over a cart total; targeting only chosen shipping rates needs a paid plan. It never renames or reorders payment methods or delivery options. It hides them only inside two offers, after the shopper takes the offer: a payment method discount (for example 5% off with PayPal) hides the other payment methods, and a store pickup discount hides shipping and local delivery. You can create both on every plan, including the basic free plan.
The basic free plan covers up to 3 basic discounts. Paid plans are Core $29.99, Growth $59.99, Pro $79.99 and Scale $99.99 a month, with Scale for Shopify Plus stores; the plan offered depends on your Shopify plan, and new stores pay $0.99/mo for the first 3 months on any monthly paid plan. Scale adds help moving your Scripts logic into Discount Genie rules and Code Stacker. Gift with purchase is for Shopify Plus stores on the Scale plan, for stores that installed since July 15, 2026.

FAQ
What app replaces Shopify Scripts?
It depends on the Script. For line item discount Scripts such as tiers, volume breaks, BOGO and VIP prices, Discount Genie rebuilds them in forms, with a basic free plan. For payment Scripts, PayLogic hides, renames and reorders payment methods. SMART Functions Creator, PowerX and Icona list all three Script types in one app.
My line item scripts stopped working. How do I replace them?
Shopify retired Scripts on June 30, 2026, so they no longer run. Rebuild each one as a discount: a single percent off can be a native Shopify discount, and a tier ladder, a volume break or a tagged-customer price needs an app with Functions, such as Discount Genie. See Shopify Scripts replacement for each Script.
Do I need Shopify Plus to replace my Scripts?
No. Stores on any plan can use public App Store apps that contain Functions, and Discount Genie runs on every plan. Plus is needed for a custom app with Functions, for credit card field changes in the US and Canada, and for the checkout rules Shopify Checkout Blocks lists as Plus only.
Which Scripts can Discount Genie not replace?
Payment and delivery Scripts that rename, reorder or always hide options. Discount Genie hides payment methods or delivery options only inside a payment method or store pickup discount, after the shopper takes the offer. For the rest, use a payment or delivery customization app such as PayLogic or Checkout Rules & Discounts.
Is there a free Shopify Scripts replacement app?
Yes. Discount Genie's basic free plan covers up to 3 basic discounts, including volume, tiered and classic BOGO discounts and rejection rules. Shopify Checkout Blocks and Icona list themselves as free, and Checkout Blocks keeps its discounts and payment rules for Shopify Plus stores.
