Is it possible to create an app through Shopify CLI while under the Basic Shopify plan?

Thank you so much! You cleared out big confusion for me.

I just went to the Create An App documentation, used the Laravel template and proceeded without fully understanding the difference between public and custom apps.

I agree, custom apps sound better, will proceed with this. Do you have any recommendations / resources for for creating a custom app to store customer orders information? I want to use webhooks and will be using php / Laravel as my primary language / framework.

Again, thank you very much.
