Missing a way to identify Shopify plus dev store

GraphQL Admin API Troubleshooting
1

Hello!

There doesn’t seem to be a way to identify shopify plus development stores from real organization with the API. We usually offer our application for free for development store but a client contacted us with this screenshot, they have a real shopify plus organization and in it they have a development store, though in our partner account and in the API this store appears as a standard Shopify plus store.

We usually use this query:

{
    shop {
        plan {
            partnerDevelopment
            shopifyPlus
        }
    }
}

But in this case partnerDevelopment is false and shopifyPlus is true. I also can’t find any other property in the API that would help me identify this store in particular.

Am I missing something or is there no way to identify those kind of development stores?

Hey @Tommy_Gaudreau,

We have a new field in the 2025-07 release candidate; publicDisplayName. This gives you more granularity around the specific plan.

If you add this field, is the plus development store mentioned or does it still just say plus?

Hi @KyleG-Shopify,

I also checked this earlier when I was testing but publicDisplayName was just saying “Plus”.
