If not, do you just need to use the app_installed webhook to set up notifications?

Or does any modification to the app listing need to be reviewed by Shopify? Or is it only specific modifications that require review?

It seems that just creating a common component library like you normally would when enforcing a common UX across multiple web apps is not enough, because the internals of those components might need to use different elements that are mobile-specific.

So is the strategy to just create soemthing like “design tokens” and reuse those?

Or is there some existing framework that already takes care of this problem?

My app does importing, exporting, (of products) and inventory sync between Shopify and a third-party marketplace. There are several existing published shopify apps that do the same thing with the same marketplace (I added additional features on top of that core functionality).

I got the following feedback from the shopify reviewer: "Fix these core issues with your app: Shopify is not currently accepting apps that connect to a marketplace system outside of Shopify. This applies to all apps that connect to a marketplace outside of Shopify."

In my original submission, I categorized the app under "Orders and shipping -> Inventory -> Inventory Sync." Now that I am looking at the other apps on the app store, I see most of them are categorized under "Sales channels -> Selling online -> Marketplaces ."

Is that my mistake? That I didn't use that category? The only mismatch I see with that category and my app is that Shopify says the following about sales channel apps: "Only create a sales channel if you own and operate, or are contracted to represent, a distinct surface where merchants can promote or sell products outside Shopify."

I do not own the third-party platform. Am I misinterpreting this?

Extremely devastated because I worked on this for over 6 months nonstop, trying to take into account every detail and make it as high-quality and reliable as possible. I never saw this coming because plenty of other apps do the same thing.

Since they no longer allow development stores to install paid plans, the only option is to use the private test plan (if no free public plan is available). But this requires specifying exactly which stores have access to the private test plan.

Will the test stores that the reviewers use to install the app bypass this?

Anyone who went through review recently and can speak to this?

Around the intersection of Essex street and Madison street.

For those that develop software applications that integrate eBay, being that the sandbox environment is mostly broken, do you just create test listings in a production account?

I’ve tried doing that and I just include “Test Listing” in the title at the beginning.

Is this fine ? I would use the sandbox but it is genuinely broken and only works for a very small subset of features.

Should I end all my test listings when I finish to reduce chances of someone placing an order on them?

How do you usually handle this?

For example, say a user signs up for Plan A. Plan A allows up to 100 actions per month for some feature. But plan A has a 7 day free trial.

I am using Shopify App Pricing (so not manually implementing it using the Billing API).

Is there any way to impose some additional limit during the trial period (so say 10 actions instead of the full 100), but also give an option to the user to start the paid plan before the trial ends?

I’ve been trying to come up with brand names. It is for a suite of apps that sync various e-commerce platforms.

My only worry is that this is phonetically equivalent to “sink fly” which is sometimes used as an alias of the more common term “drain fly”, the flies that infest kitchen sink drains.

My shopify app involves integrating with a third party platform. In the app submission, I need to provide account credentials for a test account on the third party platform.

I just created a new account on the third party platform. However, when I tried logging into it on an incognito tab, it asked to verify my login via email or text. But I used my own email and phone number to set up the test account.

If the shopify reviewers encounter this, they won't be able to proceed. I checked the third party platform, and I don't have 2FA or MFA enabled. This was just a random "We need to verify you for security reasons" prompt. I believe this is known as "risk-based authentication" which is separate from 2FA/MFA, though when it occurs, it is functionally the same (email or text a verification code). For example, it might be triggered by "suspicious" sign-ins (such as signing in from a new device/location).

The only option I see currently is using this random app called GetMyMFA, which seems to solve this problem. Anyone deal with this situation before?

I'm working on filling out app submission details. I'm up to the "Test account" section. It says "Provide login information for a test account that gives us end-to-end access to your app. If your app includes features that require separate login (like access to a marketplace), include account information for those."

Assuming there is no other platform involved besides Shopify, which credentials am I supposed to give so they can install the app and test it? Am I supposed to create a a staff account on a dev store and provide the staff account credentials on the submission? Or am I supposed to give them my own shopfy login credentials so they can access the dev store?

My app is set to public app distribution in the partner dashboard. I haven't submitted it for review yet. Just seeing if there is a (simple) way for my family member to install and use the app before it has been approved by shopify.
