We have some happy news to share: BookThatApp now shows the Built for Shopify badge on its Shopify App Store listing.
What is Built for Shopify?
Shopify describes Built for Shopify as the highest level of recognition and achievement that an app can reach. It is tied to a set of app quality standards meant to help developers make apps that are easy to use, safe, and performant, and that help solve merchant problems.
On our listing, Shopify sums the badge up as meaning the app meets its highest standards for performance, design, and integration.
What Shopify checks
Shopify publishes the full list in its Built for Shopify requirements. In short:
Performance
Shopify sets strict requirements for how fast apps load in the Shopify admin and for keeping stores fast. BookThatApp's performance meets Shopify's strict requirements, so merchants get the best experience.
Integration
Shopify asks that apps work inside the Shopify admin, so merchants can do their main tasks without leaving Shopify, and that merchants can sign up with their Shopify login. Apps that add features to a store must be easy to remove cleanly, without changing the store's theme.
Design
Apps should feel familiar, helpful, and user-friendly: they should look and behave like the Shopify admin, work on mobile, offer clear onboarding and error messages, and avoid pressuring or misleading merchants.
Proven usefulness and trust
Shopify also looks at installs, reviews, and average rating, and expects apps to follow the App Store's rules and keep a good track record with Shopify.
What it means for you as a merchant
- A quality check you don't have to run yourself. The badge means Shopify reviewed the app against the standards above.
- Easier to find. Merchants can use a Built for Shopify search filter in the App Store, and the badge shows on the app card in search and category pages.
For us, it's a nudge to keep doing what merchants running rentals, tours, classes, events, and services count on us for.
