Checklist

This is the checklist that Shopify will use to review your channel before it is made available for public install by merchants. Make sure you can check off these items before submitting your sales channel for review.

If your channel stops meeting these requirements, your sales channel may be removed from Shopify admin until the requirements are met again.

Setup

• Installable from the App Store
• Uses the Embedded App SDK
• After install, “[Sample] account” is the only visible section within the sales channel (other sections are visible only after an account has been connected)
• If merchants have to log in or sign up for your service to use your sales channel, this process takes place in a new window outside of the sales channel and return to the channel once completed
• Any fees are made explicit during setup
• If there is an approval process, this is communicated to merchants via a yellow banner
• Approval or rejection is communicated to merchants via a green or red banner respectively

Account page

• Page has an “Account” section always visible (labelled with your channel name, i.e. Sample channel)
• “Account” section allows merchants to disconnect their account
• Has a “Publishing” section
• “Publishing” section shows number of current products published, and links to the Shopify bulk editor to view and manage those products
• “Publishing” section shows any products with errors preventing publication
• Has a “Commission” section (where applicable)
• “Commission” section states the commission rate
• “Commission” section states how and when merchants will be charged
