Developer Community 
We’re seeing more of your submissions than ever, apps that solve unique problems for merchants, and we’re genuinely excited about what you’re building.
That said, we want to set expectations: review times are longer than usual right now, and we apologize for the wait.
We’re actively investing in improvements to the application process. We’ll keep you updated as those changes roll out. In the meantime, a few reminders:
Your submission is in the queue
Every submission goes through the same review process, and our team is working through the backlog. Please don’t resubmit, doing so will move you to the back of the queue and delay your review. There’s also no need to contact support for status updates as they all get directed to the same team.
How to help your app move smoothly through review
The best thing you can do while you wait is make sure your app is ready and fully functional. Apps that meet requirements on the first review help us move faster for everyone.
We recommend:
-
Reviewing the App Store requirements before your submission is reviewed
-
Using our Dev MCP to catch common issues before they’re flagged by our team
-
Double-checking your app listing, privacy policy, and test credentials are complete and accurate
A reminder on repeated review failures
Apps that repeatedly fail review may be subject to a temporary suspension. This policy helps ensure ready, compliant apps are reviewed in a timely manner.
We encourage you to use the waiting period to thoroughly test and refine your app rather than resubmitting prematurely.
We appreciate your patience and your commitment to building great experiences for Shopify merchants. We’ll continue investing in tools and processes to improve review times going forward.
Thanks for being part of the community!
