Marketing Your Shopify App in The Shopify App Store
summary
App Store growth moves from under 100 to over 1,500 apps and ranking favors product signals: use Polaris UI kit and the Embedded App SDK, charge through the billing API, and instrument app actions to surface in the admin. A UI change from three dots to an apps dropdown measurably spikes actions, and the Merchant Marketing API brings app metrics into admin. Reviews now sort by stars with a “was this review helpful” vote. Partner integrations like Sweet Tooth + Recharge drive scale—570,000 loyalty points and ~22,000 recurring subscribers.
