# Built for Shopify grace period extended for uninstall and app embed requirements

DateSeptember 25, 2025

FlagsUpdate

SurfacesBuilt for Shopify

We have extended the grace period for Built for Shopify (BFS) apps that no longer meet specific automated criteria [from immediate to 60 days](https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/launch/built-for-shopify/regain-lost-status#criteria). This extension applies to the following criteria:

* Uninstall cleanly using theme app extensions.
* Are embedded within the Shopify admin.

This change provides you with additional time to resolve any issues without immediately losing your BFS badge. During the 60-day grace period, your app will retain its BFS badge and remain visible to merchants. If the issues are not resolved within this timeframe, the BFS badge will be removed until the problems are addressed.
