Shopify store cleanup and fixes
For stores that have collected apps, scripts and theme edits over the years, and want them sorted out without breaking anything.
ScriptTag migration
Shopify has announced that scripts added through the ScriptTag API stop loading on storefronts on March 1, 2027. Apps that are still maintained will usually move on their own. Abandoned apps and custom integrations will not.
- ✓List every ScriptTag script on your storefront and the app behind it
- ✓Tell you which ones the app vendor will handle and which ones need work
- ✓Move the scripts that need it into your theme or an app embed

Leftover app code cleanup
Uninstalling an app does not always remove what it added to your theme. Old snippets, scripts and assets keep loading on every page and slow the store down.
- ✓Find snippets, includes and assets left behind by apps you no longer use
- ✓Remove them on a duplicate theme, with the file and line of every change listed
- ✓Measure page speed before and after with Google PageSpeed
Page builder to native sections
Pages built in a page-builder app live in that app. You pay monthly to keep them, and removing the app can remove the pages.
- ✓Rebuild your pages as native sections inside your theme
- ✓Keep the same URLs
- ✓Leave you able to edit everything in the Shopify theme editor
Tracking and app embeds after a theme change
App embeds and tracking are tied to a theme. Switch themes and some of them are silently turned off.
- ✓Compare the old and new theme for missing app embeds and scripts
- ✓Find scripts and pixels that load twice
- ✓Restore what should be there and remove what should not
How the work is done
- Access is through a Shopify collaborator request that you approve and can revoke at any time.
- All changes are made on a duplicate of your theme. Your published theme is not edited.
- You get a written list of every file changed.
- You publish the new theme yourself. The old one stays in your theme library.
