Hello Community O/
So, I work in the IT department in a store that is migrating from Vtex to Shopify (Brazilian market) and we noticed that the payment rules used in our store did not fit with Shopify’s payment structure. Apparently it would be necessary to add custom logic at checkout (hide payment options). Although there were several public apps that made this option available, none fit our conditions.
With a little research I saw that it is possible to develop a custom application for checkout. With some programming knowledge and shopify’s Remix tutorials, I was able to develop an app that met our conditions. The installation had no problems (I even hosted it with a third-party provider so I wouldn’t be dependent on a local machine).
The problem was when I received the message inside the App UI “Shop must be on a Shopify Plus plan to activate functions from a custom app”. Then I realized that our plan is advanced and not plus. Now we are in a complicated situation, shopify plus is not viable for the company and we are unable to meet our payment conditions that are currently available in our ecommerce.
I would like to know if there is any way around this situation? or the only solutions really are:
-
Upgrade to the plus plan
-
Publish the application to the Shopify store (when the application is public, the payment customization functions are released with some limitations for non-plus users).
Thank you for your help.
