@Shopify can you create a collection of apps for social responsibility?

Whoever manages the Shopify app store, it would be awesome to see a collection of apps that enable merchants to be socially responsible. I know there are some apps out there that already work in this space, and it would be awesome to see them all grouped together!

Hey, @ianherri .

Thanks for reaching out and for this suggestion to have a collection of socially responsible apps listed in our App Store. I have forwarded this to our Apps team. If we move forward with your suggestion we will add this to our changelog or announcements page.

You mentioned acknowledging some apps that already are socially responsible, do you have a list of apps that I could pass along to our team? That would be so helpful for us to keep in mind and understand what you’re looking for specifically.

Thanks and chat soon,

Thanks for the reply @Tira !

Off the top of my head, I think these sorts of apps would fit the bill.

(And also one that I am working on called HeyThanks, but not quite ready to release it yet – so stay tuned!)

Hey Tira,

Another app that I thought should be included!

Accessibility Assistant

Some loose subcategories: accessibility & languages, charities & donations, environmental & carbon offsets, policy(ies), ethical sourcing

I thought there was a collection for accessibility & carbon offsets before but I can’t find it so must be imagining it /shrug.

Accessibility is no where to be found under store design which is suuuuuuper bad and weird as a standalone issue https://apps.shopify.com/categories/store-design

Policy is currently used Store management for ‘Policy and security measures’ in https://apps.shopify.com/categories/store-management

and sourcing https://apps.shopify.com/categories/sourcing-and-selling-products

Thanks for passing your suggestions along, @ianherri and @PaulNewton . I have forwarded your app suggestions to our apps team.

@PaulNewton , thanks for bringing that up. While we don’t have a dedicated social responsibility category in our App Store, if you do search, “social responsibility” in the App Store, you will find a list of apps that are related to social responsibility.

Thanks again for the app suggestions, everyone! Moving forward, if any posts with suggestions are added, they will be given a “Like” to indicate that we’ve acknowledged them and have forwarded them to our apps team. Your suggestions help us make our App Store and Shopify better for everyone, so please keep them coming.

Cheers,

Check out the 1:Tree App by TreeEra. This app is free to download, and allows merchants to plant 1 tree for $1 per order! The tree will go towards offsetting the carbon emissions from packaging and shipping.

@Tira Just wanted to let you know that our app HeyThanks - Fulfillment Tipping launched yesterday!

Thought it would fit nicely into the Social Responsibility collection if it ever is created.
