Canva app policy and support links before review

Finish the support and policy links before you submit, because Canva treats the listing as part of the product handoff, not as optional packaging.

Why this can grow a startup

A lot of app teams still think trust gets handled on the company site later. Canva does not treat it that way. The listing itself requires support and policy links, which means the evaluation surface already expects the boring answers. That helps growth because the user can keep moving inside the marketplace instead of leaving to hunt for terms, privacy details, or a support path.

Source guidance

Canva's app-listing guide says listings require URLs for support and policy information, and those details must be completed in the Developer Portal before the app is submitted for review.

When to use it

Use this when Marketplaces, Trust, Product-led Growth is relevant to trust, support links, policy links and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.

When not to use it

Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.

How to do it

  1. Choose one target segment and define the exact next action this tactic should prompt.
  2. Adapt the tactic to Marketplaces and Trust, using evidence from Canva Apps SDK Docs: App listing guidelines as context—not as a promised result.
  3. Record a baseline for: Target users who complete the tactic’s intended next action. Set a guardrail that would make you pause the test.
  4. Run a narrow pilot and choose a test window that fits the normal decision or use cycle; do not scale before you have observed the full cycle.
  5. Compare the signal with its baseline. Scale only if the intended action improves without crossing the guardrail; otherwise revise one variable or stop and record what you learned.
