Commercial transition
Previous stateApps were limited to four public and ten private plans and commonly needed separate test-plan handling.
→New stateApps can define eight public and fifteen private plans, reuse plans in review and offer bounded no-charge development-store testing.
Who is affected
Shopify public-app partners, reviewers and development-store testers.
Action required
Review plan inventories, testing entitlements and App Event validation before using the expanded model.
Evidence boundary
The change does not alter merchant-facing prices or automatically migrate existing subscriptions.
Timeline
- Packaging expanded
