Will a custom checkout app work on a different Shopify partner store?

Topic summary

Topic: Installing a custom checkout app across different Shopify Partner accounts.

  • A developer built a custom checkout app with a custom UI on a development store under their Shopify Partner account.

  • They generated a one-time distribution link to install the app on a different Shopify Plus store that belongs to another Shopify Partner account.

  • They ask whether a one-time install URL will work when the target store is under a different Partner organization, and report an installation error (details shown only in a screenshot).

  • Key terms: “Plus store” refers to a Shopify Plus store; “one-time distribution link” is a private install URL for custom apps.

  • Current status: No solution or confirmation provided. The error details are not described in text; the attached screenshot appears central to diagnosing the issue.

  • Open questions: Are one-time distribution links restricted by Partner account/organization? What steps resolve the cross-partner installation error?

I have created an app for checkout using custom UI and that was on the development store and which is on our Shopify partner. now I created one one-time distribution link to install it on another Plus store. Now this store is on a different Shopify partner where an app is created. will that URL work on that store with another Shopify partner? while doing it I am getting an error as shown in the screenshot below.
