Changing app category / description - will it trigger approval process?

[mishakrunic]

Hi,

I have an approved Shopify app.

If I change this app's Category and Description - will this mean that the app will have to be re-approved?

Thanks

Misha

Hey Misha,

You can change your app description (we do every few months or so as we add new features), but changing your app's category will likely get the Apps Team poking around. The reason being, you wouldn't have the need to change your app's category unless you made substantial changes to the original (and approved) product. 

IIRC, you can reach out to the apps team directly at apps@shopify.com to inquire about this.
