# Highlighting Install Requirements in Search and Categories

Merchants will be shown a “Not Compatible” badge on the search results, category and collection pages if their app does not meet install requirements.

***

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. Merchants will still be able to search and discover apps and view the listing, however it will be apparent if the app is compatible with their store.
