Joe Shaughnessy netted five minutes into stoppage-time to secure St Mirren a place among the seeded teams in the Premier Sports Cup second round before Hearts fell just short.
The Saints skipper’s goal made it 2-0 and ensured they bettered Dundee United’s record.
Hearts later had the chance to take their place among the seeds but a 1-0 win over Inverness was insufficient and United retained their spot in the top half of the draw.
Jamie McGrath’s first-half penalty had put St Mirren on course to top the group but they left it late to guarantee themselves a place among the seeds.
