Shopify App Store
We help launch in the Shopify App Store (the app store for Shopify merchants): listing preparation per requirements, passing Shopify review, ASO optimization, analytics. Honestly and bluntly upfront, and as a matter of principle: this is a marketplace for apps — you must already have a working app for Shopify (or it must be developed separately). Shopify strictly reviews apps, a listing does NOT guarantee installs/revenue, the algorithm decides ranking. Without promises of approval, top and revenue.
Shopify App Store — overview

Shopify App Store is launching an app (for Shopify merchants) into the Shopify App Store catalog and optimizing it: checking the app's readiness for Shopify requirements (App requirements, API/OAuth, billing via Shopify, security/performance), preparing the listing (title, description, keys, screenshots/video, categories, support/documentation), passing the mandatory Shopify app review, ASO optimization for App Store search, working with rating/genuine reviews, analytics, tracking rules. The work: requirement compliance, listing, review, ASO. Honestly about 'a ready app is needed', this is key and fundamental: the Shopify App Store is an app marketplace; to get in, you must already have a working app compliant with Shopify's technical requirements (or it must be developed — this is separate development, not part of the listing). 'We will simply list you in the Shopify App Store' without a ready compliant app = a lie. Honestly about 'strict Shopify review': every app passes a mandatory review (functionality, security, billing, UX, policies); Shopify may reject and require fixes — the decision and timelines are beyond our control; 'we guarantee approval' = a lie. Honestly about 'a listing ≠ installs/revenue': ASO/listing increase visibility and conversion, but installs and revenue depend on the app's value to merchants, price, competition, reviews, niche — not on the fact of presence. Honestly about 'the Shopify algorithm decides ranking': the position is determined by the algorithm (relevance, installs, reviews, retention) — we optimize, but top is not guaranteed. Honestly about 'billing and fees': monetization is via the Shopify Billing API with a Shopify commission; we account for it in the economics. Honestly about 'no inflation': reviews are only genuine. Honestly about the effect: it prepares the listing and launches a ready app in the Shopify App Store (requirement compliance, review, ASO, analytics, genuine reviews), increasing the chances of visibility/conversion, but a ready app is needed (development separate); Shopify review can reject; a listing ≠ installs/revenue; the algorithm decides ranking; Shopify billing/fees; only genuine reviews. Honestly about access: a ready Shopify app (or development), a Partner account, requirement compliance are needed. An important boundary: this is listing/ASO in the Shopify App Store (not app development); Chrome Web Store — 605; Salesforce AppExchange — 606. The base price starts from 30,000 ₽ for listing preparation + review + ASO (app development — separate).

FAQ
Can you just list me in the Shopify App Store?
Only with a ready app, honestly: the Shopify App Store is an app marketplace, and getting in requires a working app compliant with Shopify requirements. If there is no app or it is non-compliant — this is separate development/fixes, not part of the listing. We will honestly check readiness and say what is needed.
Do you guarantee approval and revenue?
No, honestly: every app passes a mandatory strict Shopify review (functionality/security/billing/UX/policies), and Shopify may reject or require fixes — the decision and timelines are beyond our control. And a listing/ASO increase visibility, but installs and revenue depend on the app's value, price, competition. We do not give approval/revenue guarantees.
Can reviews/installs be inflated?
No, honestly: inflating reviews/installs violates Shopify rules and leads to sanctions/app removal. We work only legally (ASO, requesting genuine reviews, working with feedback). We do not do inflation — this is fundamental.
