Scripts examples

Migrating an amount off shipping script

Two classes in the generator library are one word apart and inverted. On a $30 rate, one leaves the shopper paying $25 and the other leaves them paying $5, and the bodies are almost the same ternary.

Rebuilt
What the Script did

It subtracted a fixed sum from every delivery rate, never taking it below free.

Run it against your own store

Paste it into Scripts rescue and watch what it rebuilds

  1. Copy the Ruby with the button beside any Script on this page.
  2. In your Shopify admin, open Stackable, then Tools, then Scripts rescue.
  3. Paste it there, read what the tool says it will build, and compare that with the settings on this page.

Scripts rescue is on the Pro plan. Nothing is published until you tell it what your old Script charged and the two figures match to the cent.

The Script

Rebuilt

Danger pair D4. This file and its partner look almost identical and behave differently, so read both before you decide which one you have.

The original Ruby

# GENERATED BY THE SHOPIFY SCRIPT CREATOR APP

class FixedDiscount
  def initialize(amount, message)
    @amount = Money.new(cents: 100) * amount
    @message = message
  end

  def apply(rate)
    rate_discount = rate.price - @amount < Money.zero ? rate.price : @amount
    rate.apply_discount(rate_discount, { message: @message })
  end
end

CAMPAIGNS = [
  ShippingDiscount.new(:all, nil, nil, FixedDiscount.new(5, "$5 off shipping")),
].freeze

CAMPAIGNS.each do |campaign|
  campaign.run(Input.shipping_rates, Input.cart)
end

Output.shipping_rates = Input.shipping_rates
What it becomes

Recognised as Shipping discount and rebuilt as a free_shipping offer. These are the real configuration keys the offer is saved with, so you can check your own rebuild against them field by field.

You will be asked to confirm
  • Confirm which products this applies to. We could not read product targeting from the script.
You will be told
  • This discounts every shipping rate at checkout, not one named rate.
The cart that proves it

Built on our public demo store, Meridian Goods, so every price here can be reproduced rather than taken on trust. The discount below is what the same engine that runs at checkout computes for this exact cart.

The figure the tool checks you against

This rebuild only changes shipping. We price shipping against a sample rate rather than the rate your shopper saw, so there is no figure here we could honestly compare. Publishing records that the amount was not checked.

The cart that must produce nothing

This rule carries no condition at all, so it fires on any cart holding anything and there is no quiet cart to build. The negative check is an empty cart, which the app runs for you. That is correct behaviour, not a failure.

Two files that look the same

Each pair below is one Script shape written two ways. They differ by a line or two and they do different things, so read both before deciding which one you have.

Common questions

Will Stackable rebuild this script?
Yes. Every spelling on this page is rebuilt today as a free_shipping offer, and the cart above is the one that proves it.
What cart proves it works?
1 x Braided USB-C Cable at $14.00. The engine takes $5.00 off, and checkout charges $14.00 plus $1.90 delivery.
What will I have to check before publishing?
Confirm which products this applies to. We could not read product targeting from the script. This discounts every shipping rate at checkout, not one named rate.

Related Script shapes

Flat rate shipping

Every delivery rate rewritten to one price rather than reduced by an amount.

Percentage off shipping

A share taken off every delivery rate at checkout.

Free shipping over a threshold

Delivery drops to free once the cart is worth enough.

Paste your Script and see it rebuilt

The rebuild is checked against the money your old Script charged before you can publish it.
