Updates to the App Design Guidelines

Shopify App Store

Effective July 26, 2023

We've updated the App Design Guidelines for better clarity and coverage of the trickiest parts of app design. “Mandatory” and “Unacceptable” directives are now “Must Do” and “Do Not”, to clarify that all these directives must be met to qualify for Built for Shopify status. We have also added new guidelines for Forms, Marketing, and Admin UI extensions.

All Built for Shopify applicants will be evaluated against the updated App Design Guidelines starting September 1, 2023.

See the new guidelines on Shopify.dev.
