All things Shopify and commerce
Hi, for the first time, I am releasing my app to public, but I'm encountering this problem regarding pricing and I've been stuck for a week.
At first, I thought managed pricing seemed straight forwarded and the app was simple, so I selected managed pricing.
Later I figured that there are not much documentation regarding how I would check the active subscription of the store for many reasons. (what would be the value I put in the plans field on billing API. I see no active subscription while I'm on a dev store testing an app. Is this normal for dev? or is this an error? Couldn't find any documentation)
So I decided, I would use manual pricing since there are plenty of documentation and examples for that.
However, I'm encountering a problem using Billing API.
On the app distribution setting from Shopify partner, I set the pricing method to Manual pricing, deleted all the pricing I've created for managed pricing.
When I try to run Billing API such as billing.request(), I get the following error
Managed Pricing Apps cannot use the Billing API.
No matter how many times I check the App Listing Submission page, I have it on manual pricing. I even changed to managed -> click save -> change back to manual -> click save. Still not luck.
I don't know if its because the app is not released yet, or its because its running on npm run dev, or it's running on dev store. I can't find any documentation.
Is this normal? Or do I need to scrap this app, and register another new app?
Thanks!
