Shopify scripts are one of the lesser-known features of the Shopify Plus platform. However, they are probably the most powerful. They allow merchants to create Ruby scripts that can automatically discount items, offer free shipping and modify payment gateways based on who the customer is and/or what they have in their cart.
Shopify’s Shipping Scripts is an amazing way to reward customers and offer more customized shipping options.
Before we begin, you must have the Shopify Script Editor app installed. It is where you will be copying and pasting the scripts below.
Note: Shopify Scripts is limited to Shopify Plus merchants only. Not yet a Plus merchant? Check out the benefits of Shopify Plus.
To date, there are 3 different script types:
- Line item scripts. They affect line items in the cart and can change prices and grant discounts to your customers.
- Shipping scripts. They interact with the Shipping API and change shipping methods and grant discounts on shipping rates.
- Payments scripts. They interact with the Payment API and can rename, hide and reorder payment gateway.

Whether it’s a special holiday incentive or a flash sale to attract customers, nothing gets visitors more excited than a storewide discount. A sale like this becomes an event and (when used strategically) can attract visitors and turn them into buyers, and eventually convert them to loyal, repeat customers.

# Apply the discount to every item in the cart.
