Updated October 2026
Short answer: Shopify Scripts stopped running on June 30, 2026, so shipping Scripts no longer change rates at checkout. Shopify Functions replaced them. RM: Advanced Free Shipping is built on Shopify Functions and covers the common shipping discount Scripts without code, on every Shopify plan.
Two jobs, two replacements
Shipping Scripts did two different jobs:
Discounting rates (free, percentage off, amount off): now a shipping discount. This is what the app does.
Hiding, renaming or reordering rates: now a delivery customization. The app doesn't do this, so use a delivery customization app for it.
Common Scripts, rebuilt
Free shipping over $X: Cart total (or Cart subtotal) Is at least X, then All shipping rates, Free.
Discount a rate by name, such as
rate.name.include?("Standard"): Choose specific rates, type "Standard" and choose Add "Standard" (wildcard match).Free cheapest rate: Cheapest shipping rate, Free.
Customer tag, such as
customer.tags.include?("VIP"): Customer tag Contains VIP. As with Scripts, the customer must be signed in.Country, state or postcode: Shipping country, Province / State or Postcode / ZIP.
Products or collections in the cart: Product in cart or Product collection.
Cart weight or item count: Cart weight or Cart quantity.
Percentage or amount off shipping: Percentage or Fixed Amount Off.
Cap shipping at a price: Fixed Price.
Only with a code: choose Discount code as the discount method.
if / elsif tiers: separate discounts per tier. Customers get the one that saves them the most.
Alternative ways to qualify (
||): rule groups, joined with OR. See How rules work.
Switching over
List what each Script checked and what it changed.
Build each one as a discount with Test mode on, so only checkouts with the first name ABC123 get it. See Test a discount before going live.
Check combinations. A shipping discount only applies alongside a product or order discount when both allow it. See Combining with other discounts.
Turn off Test mode.
Good to know
Scripts needed Shopify Plus. Discount apps built on Shopify Functions work on every plan.
One shipping discount applies per rate: the one that saves the customer the most. Discounts can't be chained the way Script changes could.
Common questions
When did Shopify Scripts stop working?
June 30, 2026. Scripts no longer run at checkout.
Do I need Shopify Plus to replace a shipping Script?
No. RM: Advanced Free Shipping works on every Shopify plan.
Can it hide or rename rates like my old Script did?
No. Hiding and renaming are delivery customizations, not discounts. Use a delivery customization app for those, and this app for discounting.
Do I need a developer?
No. Each Script pattern above is a few settings in the app.
