Managing apps

Apps cover a wide range of functions and features, but you can do some basic actions with each of them.

If you need help with an app that you've installed in your Shopify admin, then see Getting support for apps.

Open an app in Shopify

You can see all the apps that you have installed from the Apps page in Shopify:

View an app's about page

The app's about page lets you view information about the app and perform actions related to the app, such as viewing the app's listing on the Shopify App Store, writing a review for the app, and checking for any app compatibility issues.

Steps:

Edit an app's preferences

You can edit an app's preferences from the app's about page.

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, click Settings > Apps and sales channels.

  2. Click the app that you want to view.

  3. Click Edit preferences.

View an app's invoice

You can check an app's invoice to see more information about the billing and usage charges associated with the app.

Steps:

Change the app's proxy URL

Some apps use a proxy URL to get and show dynamic content on a page of your online store, such as product galleries, wishlist apps, or custom forms. The default proxy URL is set by the app developer, but you can change it in the Shopify admin.

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, click Settings > Apps and sales channels.

  2. Click the app that you want to view.

  3. In the App proxy section, click Customize URL.

  4. Enter the new proxy URL.

  5. Click Save.

View an app's permissions and privacy policy

You can view an app's permissions and privacy policy from the app's about page.

Steps:

Check app notifications

The App status page gives you notifications about the status of your installed apps and sales channels, such as whether an app is compatible with your store.

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, click Settings > Apps and sales channels.

  2. In the App status notifications bar, click Review. You'll only see the App status notification bar if you have apps that need to be reviewed.

The App status page shows a list of any apps installed on your store that need to be reviewed, such as unsupported apps.
