Getting help with apps

Shopify only provides support for apps built by Shopify. Most apps for your Shopify store are built by third-party developers, not by Shopify. If you need help with an app or sales channel that was built by a third-party developer, then contact the developer directly.

Apps installed from the Shopify App Store

If you need help with an app that you downloaded from the Shopify App Store, then you can request support from the app developers in one of the following ways:

Send a message to app developers from the Shopify admin

You can get support for your installed apps from the Apps and sales channels section of the Shopify admin. If the app was developed by Shopify, then you'll be directed to the Shopify Help Center for help. If the app was developed by a third-party developer, then you'll be prompted to enter the details of your issue, which is then sent to the developer.

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Apps and sales channels.
  2. Next to the name of the app that you need help with, click ... > Get support.
  3. If the app was developed by a third-party developer, then enter the details of your issue, and then click Send message.

If you sent a message, then your message is sent directly to the app developer. Shopify contacts you after three days to check if the app developer has helped to resolve your issue. If they haven't, then Shopify contacts them again on your behalf.

Reach out to app developers from the Shopify App Store

You can reach out to app developers directly from the Shopify App Store. Some developers include a specific contact method or support portal, or might have their own support documentation which can be found in their app listing on the Shopify App Store.

Steps:

  1. From the Shopify App Store, search for the app you need help with.
  2. Click the name of the app to open the app listing.
  3. In the Built by section, review the app developer's available listed Support options and contact them from whichever method you prefer.
  4. Optional: Click Send a message to open a dialog. Enter the details of your issue, and then click Submit.

Apps installed from a developer's website

If you need help with an app that you downloaded directly from a developer's website, then you can find the developer's contact information on the website where you installed the app. Shopify doesn't provide support for apps that you downloaded directly from a developer's website.

Apps with unsupported APIs

If an app on your store stops working because of changes to Shopify's APIs, then you'll receive a notification in your Shopify admin. To manage an unsupported app, contact the app's developers directly, or find a new app in the Shopify App Store to replace the unsupported app.
