# Enabling Install Requirements in the Shopify App Store

Merchants whose stores don't fit the install requirements you've set in your app submission form will be blocked from installing your app.

***

Install requirements let you specify which merchants your app will and will not work for, based on a merchant’s geographic and sales channel settings. You should only set requirements if your core app functionality won't work without these settings. Merchants whose stores don't fit the requirements you've set in your app submission form will be blocked from installing your app. [Learn more about Install Requirements](https://help.shopify.com/en/api/app-store/listing-in-the-app-store/app-listing#f-merchant-install-requirements)
