Updated App Store requirements: 4.1.2 Use a unique name for your app
UpdateUnverifiedAdded Sep 24, 2026
Your app's name is what merchants use to discover, identify, and remember your app. We've added requirement 4.1.2, "Use a unique name for your app," to reduce merchant confusion over identical and copycat app names in Shopify’s App Store. We know that changing an app name isn't easy , it affects your brand, your discoverability, and your existing merchants.
