Hi everyone,

I submitted my first Shopify app for review 3 days ago. Before submitting, I carefully went through the Shopify App Store requirements, followed the guidelines, tested the onboarding flow, prepared the demo video, and made sure everything was working as expected.

So far, my app is still in the "In Review" stage, and I haven't received any feedback or update from the review team.

I know review times can vary, but I wanted to ask the community:

• Is a 3-day wait normal these days?
• How long did your most recent app review take?
• Did you receive any communication during the review, or only after it was approved/rejected?

I'm not complaining—just trying to understand what the typical review timeline looks like for other developers.

I'd really appreciate hearing about your recent experiences.

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm getting ready to launch my very first Shopify app after spending months building and testing it.

Before I hit the Publish button, I'd love to learn from developers who have already been through the process.

If you could go back and give yourself advice before launching your first app, what would it be?

Some things I'm currently thinking about:

• Common reasons apps get rejected during the review process.
• Mistakes that hurt installs or conversions.
• Pricing strategy (Free vs. Free Trial vs. Paid from day one).
• Getting the first 10–100 merchants.
• Collecting reviews without violating Shopify's policies.
• App listing optimization (title, screenshots, videos, description).
• Analytics and metrics I should track from day one.
• Customer support expectations after launch.
• Things you completely overlooked that later became important.

For context, my app is in the discounts/promotions category, and my goal is to build something that merchants genuinely find useful rather than chasing downloads.

I'd really appreciate any lessons, mistakes, success stories, or resources you'd recommend.

Thanks in advance—I hope to avoid a few beginner mistakes with your advice! 🙏
