App developer asks how reviewers will install/test their Shopify app and whether they must share Partner Dashboard access or provide an installation URL.
Latest guidance: Once the app is submitted for review, Shopify’s review team automatically has access. There is no need to share Partner Dashboard access or a special install URL.
Practical tip: You can start the app submission now and save it as a draft to preview required information, understand the review steps, and prepare materials in advance.
Outcome: Proceed via the standard submission flow; no extra reviewer access steps are required.
Status: Largely resolved; outstanding specifics about testing instructions are handled within the submission form/draft process.
Hi Shopify Community,
I’m preparing my Shopify app for its review and have already tested it using a test store from the partner dashboard. I’m wondering how to give instructions for testing my app during the review.
Do I need to share access to my partner dashboard for the installation test? I’m not sure how the Shopify review team plans to install the app for their testing, or if it’s something I need to worry about. Do I need to provide any app url for installation?
Thanks,
Nagendra
The review team will have access to your app when you submit it for review. You don’t need to share your partner dashboard. You can start the application now - you don’t need to submit it before your app is ready and you can save it as a draft. It will give you an idea what is required, how the review process looks, and you can prepare things early.
