Tactics from Shopify Dev Docs: Best practices for apps in the Shopify App Store
Shopify app name leads with brand, not generic category
Name the app with the brand first and keep it short so merchants remember which product they saw instead of blending you into a pile of generic utilities.
Shopify demo store link to best moment with instructions
Point the listing's demo store URL at the one page that proves the app best and add short instructions so the merchant does not have to guess what to try.
Shopify feature media shows merchant outcome before tour
Use short promotional feature media that shows the merchant outcome first, then only enough screen detail to prove the app can deliver it.
Shopify install eligibility filters before wrong-merchant installs
Set sales-channel and geography eligibility in the listing form so the wrong merchant does not install first and leave a confused review later.
Shopify pricing details own every charge and free-plan flag
Keep every price, trial term, and extra charge inside Pricing details, and mark the free plan explicitly when the listing has both free and paid tiers.
Shopify translated listing overrides auto copy where market matters
Use custom translated listings in the markets that matter instead of relying only on automatic translation when the local wording affects trust and conversion.
