What are Shopify Functions and how does Sway Functions help?
Shopify Functions are serverless modules that customize Shopify's backend logic for discounts, shipping, payments, and validations. Sway Functions provides a visual, no-code builder that lets you create these complex functions without writing any code. Instead of spending weeks developing custom functions, you can build them in minutes using our intuitive interface.
Do I need coding knowledge to use Sway Functions?
No coding knowledge required! Sway Functions is designed for merchants and marketers who want powerful customizations without technical complexity. Our visual builder uses simple forms and dropdowns to create sophisticated logic. However, if you are a developer, you can still benefit from the speed and efficiency of our function generator.
What types of functions can I create with Sway Functions?
You can create four main types of Shopify Functions: (1) Discount Functions - Custom discount rules, bundle pricing, BOGO offers, tiered discounts; (2) Payment Customizations - Hide/reorder payment methods, conditional payment options; (3) Shipping Customizations - Custom shipping rates, delivery method logic, shipping restrictions; (4) Validation Functions - Cart validation rules, checkout restrictions, inventory checks.
How does pricing work and is there a free trial?

Will Sway Functions slow down my store or affect performance?
No, Sway Functions are built using Shopify's native Functions platform, which means they run directly on Shopify's infrastructure with minimal performance impact. Functions execute in milliseconds and are designed for high-performance ecommerce. Your store speed will not be affected, and functions work seamlessly with Shopify's checkout process.
