I’m developing a public app for the company I’m working on.
For now, we only need to use the app in two of our stores with Limited Visibility listing, but after that, we want to use the same app to sell it on the Shopify Store with full visibility. If I’m going to use the app with Limited Visibility for now, is it necessary to implement the Billing process for the app to be approved by Shopify during review? At the moment we will not sell it to anyone, we will only use it in our business. Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi Raisel,
Even if the app is initially intended for Limited Visibility and used only within your company, it will need to have the Billing API implemented. An alternative option would be to have two versions of the app a Custom App (for use just with your company - no need for Billing API) and a Public App (listed on Shopify App Store either full/limited visibility, with Billing API). See this page on app types for more info: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/apps/app-types
OK, thank you for your response Liam.
