App using locations as proxy for inventory - fulfillment category requirements?

We use custom locations to manage inventory as a proxy in some cases (we don’t actually fulfill orders or handle shipping). However, we’re now subject to “Built for Shopify” fulfillment app requirements that don’t apply to our use case.

Is there a way to use locations for proxy inventory management without triggering full fulfillment app categorization?

Hi - connecting with our team now to see what would be the best approach here!

Thank you @Liam-Shopify!

Please feel free to DM me if you need more details about our specific use case - happy to provide additional context to help find the best approach.

Appreciate you looking into this!
