Shopify announced that unified dev stores will allow for testing apps on stores that match real merchant plans — including Plus. I wonder if this would be available for theme developers as well. For instance, we are not Plus partners but would like to integrate our theme with Plus features, like the Combined Listings App are others.

As far as I’m aware its no different, it should be fine for testing themes as well.
Hey Ann,
Luke is correct here - with the new developer platform, any Shopify partner will be able to create development stores with Plus features for testing. See docs here: Development stores
So isn’t it also that merchants will be able to do this through the upcoming developer dashboard.
So a merchant can setup a dev store for a designer to work in.
Meaning designers could use just a staff account on the merchants store and not even need a partner account at all?
And if that staff account has permissions, in an organization role, the designer could just make the dev store in the dashboard themselves?
e.g. basically getting a way for merchants to create staging environments , or another way too look at is as a fancier version of theme-access app.
Wildly good DX if that holds up
