All things Shopify and commerce
Hi all,
I have completed the billing API integration. After the plan charge is approved, I want to redirect the user back to the same billing page with the dynamic shop name and app name. Currently, I'm using a static app name.
Do I need to make the app name dynamic as well, or will the Shopify review team handle this during the app submission process? If it needs to be dynamic, please suggest me the best way to do it.
If anyone has experience with this, I'd really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance!
Hey! Great job getting the billing API wired up — that's one of the trickier parts of the app flow.
To your question: the app name shown on the billing page (during the charge approval) is pulled directly from your app setup in the Partner Dashboard, not from your app's frontend logic. So no, you don’t need to make it dynamic manually — Shopify handles that part automatically based on the app name set in your app’s public listing or dev settings.
That said, if you're redirecting the user back to a billing-related page within your own app (e.g., a post-approval confirmation or billing dashboard), and you want to personalize that page with the shop's name and a clean app label, you can definitely pass the shop name via the return URL or get it from the shop query param and populate it dynamically in your frontend.
Quick tips:
Use the shop param to get the store’s subdomain (e.g., cool-store.myshopify.com) and display a friendlier name by formatting it (e.g., turning cool-store into “Cool Store”).
For the app name, keep it consistent with your Shopify listing so users don’t get confused.
If you’re prepping for submission, make sure all your post-install and billing redirects feel smooth and branded — reviewers do check that, especially for embedded apps.
Happy to jump in and take a look if you want a second set of eyes before submission — I help devs polish flow and pass review faster.
Good luck!
