Is this a mandatory requirement for sales channel? We want to handle the product import differently.
Topic summary
A developer is asking whether implementing a “published” section (product status card) is mandatory when submitting a sales channel app to Shopify.
Key Question:
- Is the product status card feature required for sales channel apps, or can it be handled differently?
Response:
- According to Shopify App requirements for Sales Channels, the published section appears to be a required component.
- A reference to official Shopify documentation on product publishing requirements was provided to support this.
Status: The question received confirmation that it is likely mandatory, though the developer expressed interest in alternative approaches to handling product imports.
Looking at the Shopify App requirements for Sales Channels, I would say “Yes, it is required.”
