Hello, we’re in the early stages of developing an app that we’d like to eventually
like to achieve ‘Built for Shopify’ status.
The app itself will be free, and allow merchants to buy shipping labels at favourable prices.
I have a question regarding how merchants pay for shipping labels through our app. While I understand that the Shopify billing API supports one-time charges, the revenue share model isn’t commercially viable for our low-cost, low-margin shipping label product.
We’re aware that it’s possible to request permission to bill outside of Shopify. However, if we were granted approval to operate this way, would it affect our eligibility for the “Built for Shopify” status?
Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated!
