I’ve published an app on the Shopify App Store that uses Shopify Functions to apply discounts. Recently, I applied for the Built for Shopify (BFS) badge, and I received feedback from the review team regarding section 4.2.3 – Helpful homepage.
The feedback stated:
The app homepage should also indicate how well the app is performing. Include relevant metrics or analytics on the homepage that would be helpful to everyday users.
I would like to know what are required and an approach to achieve:
what kind of data is considered helpful or acceptable? For example, would showing count of total orders and value( shall we have like last 90 days ). We would like to know whats the most important recommendation that shall be dispalyed.
Hi @Ankit_Shrivastava
For a discount app using Shopify Functions, here are some metrics that could be both helpful for merchants using your app:
- Total number of orders affected by your app (e.g., orders where your discount was applied)
- Total value of discounts given (e.g., sum of all discounts applied by your app)
- Total sales influenced by your app (e.g., total order value where your discount was used)
- Recent activity (e.g., metrics for the last 7, 30, or 90 days)
- Conversion rate uplift (if you can estimate it)
- Top-performing discounts or campaigns (if your app supports multiple types)
Best of luck with getting Built for Shopify status!
Hi @Liam-Shopify
For better approach where shall we store this data?
Can we store this on our app Database or shop metafields.
If we store data on shop metafields is there any limit?
Also is there any API available to get the order information where the discount is applied?
