Creating a Submission
Publishing your Shop Mini to the Shop app includes a manual review process. You can use the CLI to create a submission, which will upload your source code and initiate a review. Once you submission has been approved, your Shop Mini will appear in an upcoming release of the Shop app.
Requirements
- You have a Shopify Partner account and you Mini is linked to the account. See Setup your Mini step for more details.
- You have a Shop Mini ready for review.
- You have all required fields in the
manifest.jsonfile. - You don't have lint errors in your code.
Submitting code for review
Submit your code for review:
npx shop-minis submit
You'll need to enter a description to tell us what your Shop Mini does and any changes since your last submission. Please provide a video showing an end-to-end flow of your Shop Mini. This will help provide our team with more clarity during the review process.
Your source code will be uploaded for us to review. Once we've reviewed your submission, we'll either approve it or ask you to make some changes.
If it's approved, it will be included in an upcoming release of the Shop app. New app versions are released regularly and should be live within 7-10 days.
If it's rejected, we'll provide detailed actionable feedback to assist with your next submission. If you have questions or concerns about the outcome of a review, please talk to the Shop Minis team in the #shop-minis channel in the Shopify Partners Slack Community.
Checking the status of a submission
You can use the check-submission command to see details about your latest submission:
npx shop-minis check-submission
Cancelling a submission
If you realize there is an issue with the code you have submitted or you change your mind, you can cancel a submission:
npx shop-minis cancel-submission
This will only work for pending submissions—if we have already reviewed the submission, you'll need to make a new one. Please contact us if we have approved a submission that you later realize includes a bug.
Updating a submission
It's not possible to update a pending submission. If you'd like to make changes, you'll need to cancel the pending submission and make a new one.
There can only be one pending submission at a time, you cannot line up multiple submissions. You should either cancel and combine the changes into a single submission or wait for the pending submission to be reviewed first.
