Central question: When is a Shopify app that can create or update order information treated as a “sales channel,” and when is it not?
Context: The author is building a Shopify app with order creation/update capabilities and finds Shopify’s documentation on “sales channels” vague and lacking specific criteria.
Requested outcome: A clear analysis defining the conditions or features that qualify an app as a sales channel versus a non-channel app.
Current status: No clarifications, decisions, or examples provided in the discussion. No technical attachments cited.
Resolution: None. The thread remains open with the key question unanswered.
I am developing an application on Shopify that can create or update order information. However, I don’t understand when this application is considered a ‘sales channel’ and when it is not. Please analyze this clearly for me. Thank you!
I have read the descriptions in the documentation, but they are quite vague and not specific.
