Category-specific achievement criteria

Not all apps are the same. Apps are built to address a wide variety of merchant workflows and serve many diverse functions. A great app for one workflow uses different APIs, has different extensions, and looks different from an app for another workflow.

To ensure that the Built for Shopify status represents the highest quality of apps, Shopify maintains category-specific criteria. These requirements are designed to ensure that each app that earns the Built for Shopify status excels in meeting the unique needs of the merchants it serves.

If your app belongs to one of the categories on this page, then it must meet all of the criteria listed for that category.
