Here's a Shopify App Security Field Guide so we can keep up with this changing landscape:

I've been publishing new guides and tactics based on what's happening in the ecosystem. Clearly the times have changed, and it's an opportunity to improve

[sandesh 🇨🇦 @heysandy801]

there's a bug affecting apps using storefront api tokens due to which you'll see an api deprecation notice in dev dashboard. and starting today, you're also likely seeing "This app is unsupported" when merchants install.

turns out it's a bug on Shopify's end and the earliest it will "auto-resolve" is Oct 16.

which is wild? for a period of time when merchants are actively searching for apps. 2 weeks where they'll continue to see a banner.

partner/dev support was extremely unhelpful. i spoke to 2 people who each gave me ai copy-pasta answers and then refused to do anything else.

i feel like this is a much bigger issue than the way it's being talked about. it needs some attention asap cc @ShopifyDevs @eytanseidman @Shopify

@denniscessan @mattdkoenig Are there any sidekick docs I can follow to enable this for my app as well? 🤔

[Sam @Sam115200]

Really happy to see my hard-earned reviews coming back! 🎉

Each one represents a real merchant, a lot of support, and a lot of work behind @CheckoutRules, so seeing them restored means a lot.

Thank you @Shopify for listening to the feedback and refining the review system. 🙏💚

@TalktoHenryJ @hialexlam @AdityaPMalani @TalktoHenryJ thanks, Mantle also used BigQuery, but the attribution never worked for me. I could never see end to end details of who converted and came from which source. Did it worked for you?

[Sam @Sam115200]

Running ads for a Shopify app and hitting a frustrating analytics gap:

When the install happens, I can’t reliably tell whether it came from Google Ads, organic search, X, etc.

Has anyone cracked this? Is there a way to get clean attribution all the way from traffic source → App Store visit → actual Shopify app install?

[Sam @Sam115200]

@hialexlam @hialexlam thank you. Is there any guide or any detail on how to do this?

[Sam @Sam115200]

Not sure what’s going on with LCP reporting in the Shopify Dev Dashboard lately. It seems to be missing data on some days entirely.

For example, Aug 13 shows no data at all here, which definitely isn’t correct.

Anyone else seeing this? 🤔

[Sam @Sam115200]

@sandro_vol @GleapSDK Mainly because of the Ai agent features which work amazing by default and full API control layer for all features which are available in Gleap.

[Sam @Sam115200]

Just checking out Gleap today and damn, it looks so good. 😍

I was exploring Intercom as a replacement for Crisp, because of Fin, but it seems @GleapSDK is way better. 🙌

[Spencer Bonthoux @Bonthoux]

Contacted @intercom to discuss our bill + adding a feature. Mentioned potential switch to @GleapSDK due to cost

Was told:
❌ Won't do anything about current bill
📈 New feature = 3x bill

And now told they're raising our prices anyways

Hard to feel like our business is valued.

[Sam @Sam115200]

@atomgiant @SammyIsseyegh Yes please 🙏

[Sam @Sam115200]

TIL Shopify App Store developer names don’t appear to be unique 🤯

I’ve used “StoreSpark” since 2023, but another partner began using the same name in 2024.

Now merchants sometimes confuse us, and I’m receiving support requests meant for their apps.

This really should be unique. 🤷‍♂️

[Sam @Sam115200]

@soulchildpls How was the experience?

[Sam @Sam115200]

@denniscessan I’m also using Gleap for many months now, love their Ai and API features.

[Sam @Sam115200]

@blairbeckwith 👋

[Sam @Sam115200]

@TRPage_dev Thanks for the organizing the event, it was nice to finally meet you in person 😊

[Sam @Sam115200]

@jzazove @liam_at_shopify Thank you!

[Sam @Sam115200]

This happened to me today as well. 😞

Losing legitimate reviews is really discouraging, especially when each one takes time and genuine effort to earn. I only get a few reviews each month, so having many disappear at once is tough.

Meanwhile, some apps seem to gain dozens of reviews every day and don't appear to be affected. It's honestly a bit confusing.

[Axel Hardy @fraxool]

Lost ~30 (obviously) legit reviews today. Getting reviews is already incredibly hard: I only get 1 or 2 per month. Meanwhile, competitors somehow collect dozens every day and barely seem affected by these removals. Pretty confused by what’s going on.

[Sam @Sam115200]

@denniscessan See you 😊

[Sam @Sam115200]

@fraxool Maybe these upcoming changes are the reason mantle shutdown 🤔
