Shopify Functions Development Services

Need discount, shipping, payment or checkout rules that Shopify does not offer out of the box, or old Shopify Scripts logic to rebuild? Shero writes Shopify Functions as custom apps for tiered and bundle discounts, hidden or renamed delivery and payment options, checkout validation and order routing by warehouse.

Execution time for a Shopify Function

Shopify Functions compile to WebAssembly and execute on Shopify's own servers in under 5 milliseconds, with no cold starts during traffic spikes. Ruby Scripts were executed in a sandbox and could slow down under heavy load.

25

Maximum payment customization Functions active per store

Shopify Functions support up to 25 payment customization Functions per store simultaneously, enabling granular control across different customer segments, order types, and market conditions at the same time. Script Editor was limited to one payment Script at a time.

Cart Transform

Credit-only checkout in a custom app

Regal Crown Club members needed to buy rewards using only their loyalty credits, and Shopify's standard checkout could not accept that. We wrote a custom app that applies the credits and discounts on the cart page and charges the correct shipping.

June 30, 2026

The date Shopify Scripts stopped working

Shopify set June 30, 2026 as the end date for Shopify Scripts, so line item, shipping and payment Scripts now need to be Functions. We rebuild each Script as a Function in a custom app and test it against real carts as part of our checkout customization work.

Since partnering with Shero Commerce, our eCommerce revenue has grown by 200%. Their support and solutions have been game changers for our business.

What Shopify Functions are and can do

Shopify Functions are compiled WebAssembly modules that execute at specific points in the commerce lifecycle: discount calculation, shipping logic, payment customization, cart transformation, and checkout validation. Shero writes and migrates across every Functions extension point Shopify Plus supports:

  • Script Editor to Shopify Functions migration for plus stores with existing Ruby Scripts
  • Custom discount Functions for tiered pricing, BOGO, and multi-condition promotional logic
  • Payment customization Functions for B2B payment gating and method ordering
  • Shipping customization Functions for zone-based logic, carrier filtering, and rate renaming
  • Cart Transform Functions for component-level bundle splitting and line item modification
  • Checkout Validation Functions for order condition enforcement and fraud prevention logic

Why choose Shero for Functions development

Shero audits existing Scripts against the three migration paths before writing a line of Functions code, so the replacement scope covers what the business actually needs instead of a one-for-one Ruby-to-WebAssembly translation.

01

Scripts audited before any Functions code is written

Most Shopify Plus stores had Scripts that were written years ago by developers who have since left. Shero audits every Script the store relied on before starting any migration, categorizes each by replacement path (native Shopify feature, public app, or custom Function), and identifies dead logic that can be dropped entirely. The audit prevents rebuilding logic that is no longer serving a business purpose.

02

New Functions checked against past Script orders to confirm parity

Shopify allowed Scripts and Functions to work side by side until the June 30, 2026 cutoff. Since Scripts stopped, Shero puts sample carts through each new Function and compares the results with past orders placed under the old Script before launch. The failure mode most agencies miss is a Function that deploys successfully but returns no discount because a required field was left out of the GraphQL input query.

03

B2B pricing Functions that key to customer metafields

B2B pricing logic stored in customer metafields (wholesale tier, account type, region) cannot be expressed through Shopify's standard Discounts admin. A custom discount Function reads the customer metafield at checkout, applies the correct pricing tier, and returns the adjusted line item prices in under 5 milliseconds. This is the most common custom Function use case for wholesale and distribution brands on Shopify Plus.

04

Payment customization Functions for B2B payment gating and method ordering

Retail customers and wholesale accounts need different payment options at checkout. A payment customization Function reads customer tags or company account data and hides, reorders, or renames payment methods accordingly. Up to 25 payment customization Functions can operate simultaneously per store, covering different customer segments and order types at the same time.

05

Shipping Functions for carrier filtering, zone logic, and rate renaming

Hazmat products, PO box restrictions, carrier-specific rules for B2B accounts, and zone-based rate structures all require shipping logic that Shopify's standard shipping admin cannot express. A shipping Function receives the cart contents, delivery address, and customer data, applies the required logic, and returns the correct rates. For Alto Music, Shero wrote a delivery customization that shows or hides its two-day shipping method at checkout by product region and login status.

06

Custom development apps created through the Partner Dashboard, not the Shopify admin

Custom Shopify Functions for store-specific logic are deployed in a custom app, and only Shopify Plus stores can use custom apps that contain Functions. Shero writes Functions as properly structured apps, which means they are maintainable, testable, and deployable through Shopify CLI instead of depending on fragile admin customizations.

Process

How a Shopify Functions project works

We sort your old Scripts logic, rebuild what is still needed as Functions and prove the results match.

  1. 01

    Discovery and Script audit

    In discovery we pull the Scripts customizations report and sort each Script into a native feature, a public app or a custom Function.

  2. 02

    Development

    Custom Functions are created with Shopify CLI in a custom app for your Plus store and tested locally first.

  3. 03

    Result checks

    We put sample carts through checkout and compare them with past orders placed under your old discount, shipping and payment Scripts.

  4. 04

    Testing and UAT

    Every promotion, customer segment and order type is tested at checkout with live payments, and you sign off in UAT.

  5. 05

    Launch and upkeep

    We launch the Functions, then update them as discounts and B2B tiers change and check them against each API release.

Invisible Bead Extensions®

"Working with Shero Commerce on our migration from WordPress to Shopify was honestly such a pleasant experience. We’d been on WordPress for five years with tons of content and very specific styling, and moving all of it into one cohesive Shopify site was no small feat, this was a genuinely complex, highly technical migration. But they pulled it off on deadline with zero errors and zero issues. Their team showed up with everything we needed: a project manager, multiple developers, marketing leads, email specialists, and CRO experts, all coordinated through dedicated meetings and a real task management system. They also designed several high impact conversion pages so our digital presence didn’t just function better, it looked beautiful too. Since migrating, we’ve seen an increase in revenue thanks to having one simplified, cohesive platform. I’m so grateful for how seamlessly they executed this, and I’d recommend Shero Commerce to anyone facing a migration like ours."
