Installing apps
After you've found an app that you want to use, you need to add it to your store. You can either install it from the Shopify App Store or with a third-party install link. If you want to install a custom app, then you need to use the unique install link provided by the developer.
Install an app through the Shopify App Store
Steps:
- Log in to the Shopify App Store.
- Find an app that you want to install, and then click it.
- On the app listing page, click Add app.
- In your Shopify admin, to authorize the use of the app, click Install app.
After the app is installed, you can view and use it from the Apps page in your Shopify admin.
Install an app with a third-party install link
Note
Third-party install links only work for apps created before December 5, 2019. If you click a third-party install link for an app made after that date, then you get an error message in your Shopify admin and can't install the app.
Steps:
- Get the app install link from the developer's site, and then click the link.
- In your Shopify admin, to authorize the use of the app, click Install app.
When installing with a third-party install link, you receive a warning that the app isn’t from the Shopify App Store. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the app is unsafe. However, the app has not been through the verification and approval process that’s required for apps that are listed in the Shopify App Store.
