- Compliance with Shopify Acceptable Use Policy - Your store complies with the Shopify Acceptable Use Policy.
- Active Shopify Starter plan or higher - Your store is on an active Shopify Starter plan or higher. Learn more about checking or upgrading your current plan.

- Chargeback rate - Your store has had a chargeback rate of less than 1% in the last six months.
- Installation of Shop channel - Your store has the Shop channel installed.
- Product eligibility - At least one of your products meets Shop's product eligibility requirements. If you sell a combination of prohibited products and approved products, then only approved products display in Shop. Learn more about product eligibility troubleshooting.
- Online Store sales channel - Your store has the Online Store sales channel, and the store isn't password protected. Learn more about removing your store password.
- App compatability - You're not using any password control, or age verification apps such as Advanced Registration, B2B Login Access Management, Locksmith, Login to View Price and MagicPass Deal Club, Wholesale.
