Inventory and order management applications are counted as plan branches

Topic summary

Main update: A clarification states that inventory and order management applications are treated as “branches” within a plan. This means they are included in whatever counting or limits apply to branches, but no specifics are given.

Key gaps and open questions:

  • What exactly “plan branches” refers to (billing metric, usage limit, feature tier) is not defined.
  • Which types of inventory/order apps qualify, and whether all third‑party apps are included, is unclear.
  • Whether this applies across all Shopify plans or only certain tiers is unspecified.
  • How counting works (per app, per instance, or aggregated) and any caps or thresholds are not described.
  • Implications for costs, limits, or required upgrades remain unstated.

There is no evident disagreement, no action items, and no concrete outcomes. The discussion remains open and would benefit from official definitions and examples clarifying how apps are counted as branches and the resulting plan impacts.
