How long will Shopify take to approve my app?

App submissions

Process known · duration unknown

No reliable estimate

Review process known · duration unknown

No reliable current end-to-end duration was established from the sources checked. The review process can be explained, but there is no defensible countdown to give you here.

What the clock measures

Process only · no measured window
  1. Process contextApp submitted
  2. Outcome not guaranteedReview & possible changes
  3. Separate later stagePublication, if approved

A process map, not your progress. Spacing does not represent duration.

Starts with
You submit the app for review.
Ends with
Approval, potentially after feedback and further changes; not guaranteed.

What can change the wait

  • Waiting for a reviewer and addressing requested changes are different stages.
  • Historic backlog notices and individual forum waits are not today’s forecast. Automated self-review does not replace human approval.

A useful next step

Where to check your situation

Check the review stage and requested changes in the Partner Dashboard or the feedback channel for your submission.
