What to build
The buyer wants a working replacement for broken Script logic without needing a developer, so a done-for-you Shopify Functions rebuild is the best answer rather than a product.

Customer complaints 2

Owners and users describing the problem in their own words: Reddit, low-star reviews, App Store, Ask HN.

  • After Scripts shutdown on June 30, a Shopify Plus store's automatic store-credit application for pending trade-ins silently stopped working. Customers check out without credit and no error is shown. Rebuilding the logic in Functions is not a quick fix.

  • After the Scripts Editor was deprecated, a script that limited percentage discounts to one eligible item stopped working, so reusable 30-50% codes now apply to about 10 products instead of one.
