Thanks for the heads up @donny ! Also, respect to the Shopify team for the quick update and additional documentation.
However, my initial question still remains:
Given the fact that we already operate a solution that violates this policy, who can we contact to discuss a potential authorization by Shopify?> > Also, how will this impact merchants that already rely on our solution?
Our competitors in the face of Bold, One Click Checkout and Carthook have all released statements, that their custom checkouts have been authorized to keep working. What are the rules/conditions that we need to comply with to get this authorization? Who can we talk to? Also, what will happen to our current customer base?
It would be a shame if you cherry-pick some custom checkouts and kill-off smaller projects, just because they have an internal connection with Shopify. We’ve all chosen to build software for Shopify, because of the open API’s and the opportunity to stand out if you build a better product, I would hate to see my app being shutted down, while the exact same alternative product keeps working with Shopify’s blessing.
