QA Checklist for
Shopify Scripts Migration
A practical QA checklist for validating Shopify Scripts to Functions migration before release.
Use this page to review expected checkout behavior, edge cases, regression risk, ownership, and rollout readiness before launch pressure takes over.
What should QA cover in this migration?
QA should confirm that replacement logic behaves as intended in checkout, that discounts, shipping, and payment rules still work correctly, that edge cases and regressions are covered, and that teams have clear sign-off and rollout readiness before release.
Migration risk often shows up during validation
Teams often assume the hard part is implementation. In practice, the most painful failures appear when checkout behavior changes unexpectedly, edge cases are missed, or rollout happens before sign-off is truly ready.
A structured QA pass gives teams a better way to validate what changed, what could regress, and whether launch conditions are actually safe.
Shopify Scripts migration QA checklist
Use this as a practical validation sequence before rollout.
Confirm expected checkout behavior
Validate that the replacement logic produces the intended customer-facing behavior across the checkout flow.
Test discount logic
Check that pricing, discounts, thresholds, stacking rules, and expected promotional outcomes behave correctly.
Test shipping logic
Verify shipping options, conditional availability, thresholds, and special-case logic tied to previous Script behavior.
Test payment rules
Confirm payment-related behavior still matches intended business rules and customer scenarios.
Check edge cases
Review exception paths, mixed cart conditions, threshold boundaries, and unusual but valid customer journeys.
Review regression risk
Test for behavior that may have been unintentionally broken during migration or replacement.
Confirm ownership and sign-off
Make sure responsibility for QA completion, acceptance, and release approval is clear before launch.
Validate rollout readiness
Confirm go/no-go criteria, communication readiness, rollback thinking, and operational confidence before release.
Where teams most often miss QA coverage
- Assuming “working in dev” means safe in checkout
- Missing edge-case cart conditions and threshold boundaries
- Testing only the main path, not exception paths
- Treating sign-off as informal instead of explicit
- Leaving rollback thinking until the last minute
What should be true before release?
Expected behavior is confirmed
The team has verified that intended checkout logic behaves correctly across planned scenarios.
Regression risk is acceptable
Key regressions have been checked and unresolved risk is clearly understood.
Ownership is explicit
QA, release approval, and communication ownership are assigned and understood.
Go/no-go is real
Teams have a real decision framework for launch readiness, not just launch momentum.
