Shopify locked Script editing on April 15. On June 30, every Script stops running entirely. If your automatic discounts, tiered pricing, or BOGO logic lived inside Scripts, you have less than 12 weeks to replace them — or your promotions break on a random Tuesday with no warning beyond the one Shopify already gave you.
The replacement technology is Shopify Functions, but most merchants don't write code. You need one of the best Shopify discount apps that use Functions under the hood. The good news: several already do, which means they run faster than Scripts ever did (sub-5ms execution, no cold starts) and work on every Shopify plan — not just Plus.
What Shopify's Native Discounts Already Cover
Before you install anything, check whether Shopify's built-in discount tools handle what you need. Shopify now natively supports:
- Percentage and fixed-amount discounts (automatic or code-based)
- Buy X Get Y promotions
- Free shipping thresholds
- Automatic discounts targeted to customer segments
- Discount combinations (stacking a code on top of an automatic discount)
That last one is important. Shopify used to require Scripts to stack discounts. Now it's a native setting under Settings → Checkout → Discount combinations. If simple stacking was the only reason you used Scripts, you might not need an app at all. For more on the Scripts shutdown timeline, see our full Scripts deprecation guide.
When Do You Need a Shopify Discount App?
Shopify's native tools break down when your discount logic gets conditional. If you need any of these, you need an app:
- Tiered pricing that changes based on quantity (buy 2 get 10% off, buy 5 get 20% off)
- Cart-level conditions like "spend $100, get a free gift automatically added"
- Scheduled flash sales across hundreds of products at once
- Volume discounts displayed as a pricing table on the product page
- Complex BOGO rules (buy any 3 from Collection A, get the cheapest free)
- Discount logic that varies by customer tag, market, or location
Scripts handled all of this. Now apps do — and most of them are easier to configure than Scripts ever were.
Dealeasy: Best for Volume Discounts and Tiered Pricing
Rating: 4.9 stars (523 reviews) · Pricing: Free plan available, paid plans from $6.99/month
If your Scripts handled quantity breaks or tiered pricing, Dealeasy is the most direct replacement. It creates volume discount tables that display directly on your product pages — "Buy 2, save 10%. Buy 5, save 20%." — with a progress bar that nudges customers toward the next tier.
The app also handles product bundles, BOGO offers, and free gift thresholds. It's built on Shopify Functions, so discounts apply at checkout natively rather than through workarounds. The free plan covers stores with fewer orders, which makes it low-risk to test before committing. Merchants consistently highlight the support team's willingness to hop on Zoom calls to help with setup.
Discounty: Best for Bulk Sales Across Large Catalogs
Rating: 4.9 stars (280 reviews) · Pricing: Free plan available
Discounty is built for merchants who need to apply discounts across hundreds or thousands of products at once. Where other apps work product-by-product, Discounty lets you select entire collections, set a bulk rule (percentage off, fixed amount, or a new compare-at price), and apply it in one action.
It also supports countdown timers on discounted products — useful for creating urgency during flash sales without needing a separate countdown app. The setup is straightforward: pick your products, set the discount type, schedule start and end dates, done. Multiple merchants specifically mentioned it working flawlessly during Black Friday, which is the real stress test for any discount app.
AIOD: Best for Complex BOGO and Free Gift Promotions
Rating: 4.8 stars (333 reviews) · Pricing: Free plan available
AIOD (All-in-One Discounts) specializes in the conditional promotions that Scripts used to handle — mix-and-match BOGO, automatic free gifts based on cart value, and stackable discount rules. If your Scripts logic was "buy any 3 items from this collection, get the cheapest one free" or "spend $75, automatically add Product X as a gift," AIOD can replicate that.
The app also integrates with Shopify POS, which matters if you sell in physical locations and need consistent discount behavior across online and in-store sales. It supports location-based offers, customer tag targeting, and discount scheduling. The 4.8 rating across 333 reviews reflects solid reliability, though the interface takes a bit more time to learn than simpler apps because of how many options it exposes.
Bold Discounts: Best for Scheduled Flash Sales
Rating: 3.9 stars (492 reviews) · Pricing: Free plan available, Essentials plan $19.99/month
Bold is one of the oldest discount apps on Shopify, launched in 2012. Its strength is storewide flash sales: select a collection or your entire catalog, set a percentage off, schedule start and end times, and Bold automatically adjusts prices and reverts them when the sale ends. A live countdown timer on product pages creates urgency.
The 3.9 rating is lower than newer competitors, and some reviews mention occasional issues with price reversion after sales end. But Bold has handled more Black Fridays than any other discount app on the platform, and the free plan covers basic functionality. If your primary Scripts use case was "run a scheduled sale across the store," Bold still does this well.
Every Possible Discount: Best for Flexible Automatic Rules
Rating: Highly rated · Pricing: Free plan available
Every Possible Discount lives up to its name — it supports virtually every discount type Shopify merchants need. Tiered pricing, BOGO, bundles, automatic gifts, volume breaks, and discount codes all work from a single app. The differentiator is flexibility: you can offer discounts on either the selling price or the compare-at price, target discounts to specific markets (UK, UAE, USA), and apply conditions based on cart line item attributes.
For merchants migrating from Scripts, the ability to target discounts by market is particularly useful. Scripts often included location-based logic that Shopify's native discounts don't support. The app applies discounts directly at checkout using Shopify Functions, so there's no visual glitch where the price shows full and then adjusts.
EasySell: Best for COD Stores Needing Quantity Discounts on Order Forms
Rating: 4.9 stars · Pricing: Free plan available
If your store uses cash on delivery and your discount logic lives on the product page rather than at checkout, EasySell handles quantity discounts and tiered pricing directly inside its order form. Customers see the pricing tiers as they select quantities — "Buy 2 for $18 each, Buy 5 for $15 each" — without leaving the product page.
EasySell isn't a general-purpose discount app. It won't replace Scripts for storewide flash sales or complex BOGO logic. But for COD merchants who need quantity breaks combined with order verification (OTP, phone blocking, partial payments), it handles both in one app instead of requiring separate discount and fraud prevention tools.
How to Choose the Right Discount App for Your Store
The best discount app for your store depends on the specific Script logic you're replacing. Here's a quick-match guide:
- Quantity breaks / tiered pricing: Dealeasy or EasySell (if you also need COD order forms)
- Storewide flash sales: Bold Discounts or Discounty
- BOGO / free gifts / conditional offers: AIOD or Every Possible Discount
- Multi-market discount targeting: Every Possible Discount
- Bulk catalog discounts: Discounty
If you're not sure what your Scripts actually do, Shopify now provides a customization report in your admin under Settings → Checkout → Scripts. It lists every active Script and suggests compatible Shopify Functions apps as replacements. Run that report before you start comparing apps — it'll tell you exactly what logic you need to replicate.
Don't wait until June. Install your replacement app now, run it alongside your Scripts for a few weeks to confirm the discount behavior matches, then deactivate the Scripts before the deadline forces a hard cutoff. A controlled migration beats a midnight scramble on June 30. And if you're rethinking your overall discount strategy while you're at it, our quantity discount strategy guide covers the pricing math behind volume offers that actually lift AOV.
