Shopify Partner Town Hall: Building the best in commerce
On Thursday, April 15 at 12 p.m. EDT, Shopify Partner Town Hall will be returning. Partner Town Hall is a continuation of Shopify’s Town Hall tradition, where employees get together to listen, reflect, and keep in sync with company developments.
The Shopify Plus Certified App Program has gained new partners.
A new group of apps has joined the Shopify Plus Certified App Program, and we are thrilled to have them! New members include:
- Carro (affiliate and influencer marketing)
- Impact (affiliate and influencer marketing)
- Stamped.io (reviews and user-generated content)
- Bluecore (marketing automation)
- Gladly (customer support)
The Shopify Plus Certified App Program assists the biggest Shopify merchants in growing and scaling their businesses by assisting them in locating the applications and solutions they want. The program is offered only to Shopify app partners that fulfill the high standards of Shopify Plus merchants for product quality, service, performance, privacy, and support. A partner app is made accessible to merchants worldwide through the Shopify Plus Certified App Directory and the Shopify App Store once it has been certified by Shopify. For entry into the Shopify Plus Certified App Program, applications are currently being accepted. To be listed in our premium Shopify Plus directory, prove your commitment to performance, security, privacy, and support.
App charge overview page in the Partner Dashboard
In the Partner Dashboard’s new Charge Overview tab, app partners may now examine app subscriptions, one-time app charges, and use charges paid to merchants. You may use this information to rapidly get crucial details regarding app costs and respond to concerns about billing from businesses.
Subscription APIs now support Scripts
The ability to utilize subscription applications that are seamlessly integrated into Shopify’s checkout is now available to Shopify Plus merchants that use Scripts. The subscription app assigns a selling plan to each subscription product that merchants offer. You may tell when a product is being purchased as a subscription by using the line item object.selling_plan_id when writing scripts.
Jan, 2021
You may locate the most crucial updates you need to know in this issue of our monthly product email for Shopify Developers and continue working with your app’s users.
New Partner API
You may now programmatically access data, such as app events and profits, that was previously only accessible through the Partner Dashboard, thanks to the new Partner API. This enables you to download this information to the appropriate reporting and analytics platforms and boost the effectiveness of your business operations.
More granular permissions for the Partner Dashboard
You now have more precise control over the resources that the staff members of your company have access to thanks to two new staff permissions that have been introduced to the Partner Dashboard.
- View referrals grants access to the Referrals page.
- Access the Affiliate tools page and the Affiliate tools on the Referrals page by managing affiliate programs. Affiliate marketing programs can also be managed by staff members with this authorization. Only companies that are a part of the Shopify Affiliate Program are eligible for this authorization.
The Manage stores permission was formerly in charge of limiting access to these services. As part of this upgrade, employees in your company with the Manage shops permission are given access to View referrals. If you are a participant of the Shopify Affiliate Program, this update grants staff members who already have the Manage stores access the ability to Manage affiliate campaigns as well.
Polaris v6.0.0, style guide, and Figma UI kit

Additionally, a fresh Figma UI kit that follows the revised Polaris recommendations is now accessible. This package provides a cross-platform browser-based design tool with better flexibility and speed. The UI kit was formerly offered in Sketch.

Components for large- and small-screen devices are presented as different variations of the same component.
The addition of auto layout to basic components.

Utilizing the new style guide and UI kit, you may work directly in Polaris v6.0.0 while streamlining your design process and accelerating your development.
