Have an app you need tested? Read this!

[David Underwood]

Hello app developers,

Late last week we quietly released a new feature on the Shopify App Store: A new category for displaying apps in need of beta testers. You can see it in action here: http://apps.shopify.com/categories/beta

What does this mean for developers? It's pretty simple: Once you've created a listing for your app through the Partners dashboard you'll now see an option to 'Publish Beta App'. Hitting that button will place your app in the new category. Done! Then you can gather feedback, make changes to your app, and anything else you need to do before submitting it for the standard review.

Please let us know what you think of this feature, we'd love to hear your feedback. Thanks!

Cool! How are the reviews handled? 

I presume feedback with beta customers is supposed to happen on our side of the fence, with developers directly contacting their users. It seems, though, that people have been leaving reviews on a few of the beta apps anyway.

Will these reviews be shown on the "final version" app page?

Cheers,

Nick

Until we’re persuaded not to, yes.

Hey everyone,

We are so happy to join the group and have just created a new app for shopify that we would love everyone to try out.

For anyone who tries out the app and tests in in their store before we publish to the main app page, we will offer it free of service charges through beta and 1 month free after that.

Please let us know what you think.

Thanks,

Ben Stewart, CTO
