Embedded Apps are the future of Shopify Apps Our new Embedded App Software Development Kit allows you to improve your app’s user experience by embedding it directly inside the Shopify admin. The SDK enables simple and powerful communication between your app and Shopify. Access and customize many …

Eventually, embedded apps will become the expected standard for our App Store. I gather this would not apply to cross-channel tools like ShipStation and StitchLabs?

@standoutd : We’re encouraging every app developer to adopt the EASDK if they can. In fact, many of our partners that have cross-platform products are already developing versions that use the EASDK.

These Apps will be listed in the a…

@Christopher : Aha, that makes sense. Thanks for taking the time to respond and clear this up! One final question regarding this. How do you install an unpublished app? Is there a URL syntax that will allow it to be installed? Our main store unfortunately isn’t our developer store and it appears the…
