Shopify Plus was designed to offer additional features and support for large eCommerce businesses. With over 13,000 Shopify Plus stores, there is a growing need for app technologies that seamlessly solve a unique variety of commerce challenges.
The Shopify Plus Certified App Program is for best-in-class technology solutions chosen for their quality and alignment with Plus merchant needs. Each app is formally reviewed by the Shopify App Review and Quality Assurance Team, to ensure it meets advanced requirements in the areas of proven usefulness, infrastructure + performance, merchant support, security, and privacy.
Apps that meet the application requirements are then added to the Shopify Plus Certified App Partner Directory offering a convenient platform for Shopify Plus merchants to easily explore and evaluate app partners who have undergone thorough vetting to address various unique commerce challenges. This streamlined process facilitates efficient decision-making for merchants while providing app partners with an invaluable distribution channel.
