Rebuy's Shopify App Store listing went offline on October 18, 2026. If your store uses Rebuy for upsells, bundles or a smart cart, here's what the delisting means. You'll also see what to do this week, and how to replace each feature if you switch.
Is Rebuy off the Shopify App Store?
Yes, for now. Since October 18, 2026, Rebuy's App Store listing has read "not currently available," and Rebuy hasn't publicly said why. It was one of more than 470 apps delisted between October 14 and 22, according to Revenue Shield's tracker. Rebuy's listing also went down briefly in mid-September and was back by September 19.
A delisting can be pulled by Shopify or by the developer, and the banner looks the same either way. Check the listing again before making decisions, since apps can return.

Was Rebuy part of the October checkout hijack?
No link has been reported. The apps whose developers confirmed unauthorized code in the October 2026 checkout hijack were Hulk Product Options, Selleasy and Swym Wishlist Plus. Rebuy was delisted the same week, but neither Shopify nor Rebuy has connected it to the attack. A delisting on its own isn't evidence of a compromise.
Shopify has said it acts when an app falls short of its security and privacy standards, which can include delisting. It hasn't given reasons for most of the October removals.
Does Rebuy still work on my store?
Yes. Delisting removes an app from the App Store listing, not from the stores that already have it installed. A third-party scanner still detected Rebuy's script on live storefronts in October 2026. New merchants, though, can't install it from the App Store while the listing is down.
What should Rebuy merchants do right now?
Check your checkout, confirm your app's status with Rebuy, and make sure Rebuy loads through its app embed. Then decide whether to stay or switch based on facts, not headlines. A rushed uninstall can break your cart and remove features that are earning revenue.
- Test your checkout on desktop and mobile, and confirm it stays on your own domain.
- Contact Rebuy for its statement on the listing and your account.
- Turn on the Rebuy Connector app embed. Shopify stops supporting script tags on March 1, 2027, and Rebuy's connector is the replacement.
- Review your other apps, since many were delisted that week.
- Benchmark your numbers: average order value and upsell revenue, before any change.

What are the best Rebuy alternatives?
For most stores replacing Rebuy's upsells, the main options are multi-placement apps: One Click Upsell, Upsell.com (formerly ReConvert) and Aftersell. For carts and bundles, Kaching CartDrawer and UFE are common choices, and Essential Upsell and Honeycomb suit stores that want revenue- or traffic-based billing.
| App | Covers | Billed on | Entry price | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One Click Upsell (Zipify) | Product page, cart, checkout (Plus), post-purchase, thank-you page | Upsell revenue | $9.95/month after a 30-day trial | Available |
| Upsell.com (ReConvert) | Product page, cart, checkout (Plus), post-purchase, thank-you page | Higher of store orders or upsell revenue | Free to 50 orders, then from $9.99/month | Available |
| Aftersell (Rokt) | Post-purchase, thank-you page, cart, checkout (Plus) | Total store orders | From $34.99/month after a 30-day trial | Available again |
| Kaching CartDrawer + Post Purchase | Cart drawer and post-purchase (two apps) | Total store orders | $9.99 + $4.99/month | Available |
| UFE Cross Sell & Upsell Bundle | Bundles, quantity breaks, cart, post-purchase | Total store orders | Free to 50 orders, then from $9.99/month | Available |
| Essential Upsell & Cross Sell | Product page offers and post-purchase add-ons | Revenue the app adds | Free to $100 added revenue, then from $9.99/month | Available |
| Honeycomb Upsell & Cross Sell | Product page, cart, thank-you, checkout (Plus), post-purchase | Funnel views | Free to 100 views, then from $54.99/month | Available |
Sources: each app's Shopify App Store listing and pricing, as compiled by Zipify (prices as of October 29, availability as of November 2, 2026), and Aftersell's App Store listing. Zipify makes One Click Upsell. Check each listing yourself before installing, since availability changed quickly in October.
Left out deliberately: Selleasy. Its developer confirmed an attacker used an internal Selleasy tool to add a phishing script to some stores in October 2026. Its developer says it's safe now, but we'd wait for a clear track record before recommending it as a replacement.
Which Rebuy features does Shopify cover for free?
Product recommendations and simple bundles. Shopify's free Search & Discovery app handles recommendations, and its free Bundles app handles fixed bundles. Smart carts can be built into your theme, but checkout upsells, post-purchase offers and advanced personalization need an app or custom development.
| Rebuy feature | Free Shopify option | When you need an app or custom work |
|---|---|---|
| Product recommendations | Shopify Search & Discovery app | Personalized, rule-based or AI recommendations |
| Bundles | Shopify Bundles app | Mix-and-match or build-your-own bundles |
| Smart cart with upsells | Theme customization | Complex rules, tiers and progress bars at scale |
| Checkout upsells | None; needs Shopify Plus and an app or custom checkout extension | All checkout offers |
| Post-purchase offers | None; needs an app built on Shopify's post-purchase extensions | All post-purchase offers |
| Reorder and subscription prompts | Shopify Subscriptions | Deeper retention flows |
Post-purchase extensions are developer tools, not a switch in your admin, so post-purchase offers always come through an app or custom build.
How do you choose a Rebuy alternative?
Choose an alternative that's listed and active, and loads through app embeds rather than script tags. It should price fairly at your volume and not slow your store. Check its access permissions and support record too. Several popular cart and upsell apps were also delisted in October, so confirm each one's status first.
- Check the listing is live, and look for the "Built for Shopify" badge.
- Confirm it uses app embeds, since script tags lose support on March 1, 2027.
- Model the cost at your actual order volume, not the entry price.
- Test page speed before and after installing.
- Review requested permissions, using our integration scorecard.
How do you switch from Rebuy without breaking your cart?
Build the replacement on a duplicate theme, test it fully, then switch themes and remove Rebuy's code. Merchants have reported leftover code breaking carts after uninstalling, so check the cart drawer, product pages and checkout carefully. Compare average order value before and after for at least two weeks.
- Duplicate your live theme and build the new setup there.
- Recreate your best-performing offers first.
- Test every cart path, including discounts and free shipping thresholds.
- Publish, then remove Rebuy's code and app embed.
- Compare results against your benchmark.
Should you stay with Rebuy?
Staying is reasonable if Rebuy works well, your checkout tests clean, and Rebuy gives a clear account of the listing. Rebuy is still one of the most complete personalization tools for Shopify. Switching makes sense if you can't get answers, need to install fresh, or only use features Shopify now offers natively.
How we build carts, upsells and bundles
Solo Media Group builds cart, upsell and bundle features directly into Shopify themes when apps don't fit. For Lifelines, we built a smart cart with conditional upsells and a free-shipping progress bar. The store held a 2.8% conversion rate as sessions rose 171%. For Medik8, we built a bundle builder that works across several regional stores. Lifelines case study

Was Rebuy hacked?
No compromise has been reported. The apps confirmed in the October 2026 checkout hijack were Hulk Product Options, Selleasy and Swym Wishlist Plus.

Partly. Shopify's free Search & Discovery app handles product recommendations, and its free Bundles app handles simple bundles. Smart carts and checkout upsells usually need an app or custom work.

Shopify stops supporting script tags that day. Turn on the Rebuy Connector app embed so Rebuy keeps working.
