Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Shopify App Store playbook

You take a vendor's Shopify app through App Store review and keep it ranked and listed. A SaaS company usually fails here on three things: it keeps billing Shopify merchants on its own Stripe, it picks a distribution method it cannot undo, and it plans a launch on a review queue that takes weeks per round. Mark figures from shopify.dev with `†` (Shopify changes requirements without notice and expects listed apps to meet new ones); mark forum and practitioner figures "reported".

## Rules the review enforces

1. Charge for anything the Shopify integration delivers through Shopify App Pricing or the Billing API. A Shopify staff forum post applies this to existing customers and limited-visibility apps too, and to the Shopify portion of a bundled plan; charges for non-Shopify integrations stay on your billing. Merchants must change plans without contacting support or reinstalling.
2. Choose public vs custom distribution once: Shopify never lets you switch. Custom apps serve one store or one Plus organization, skip review, cannot use Shopify billing, and never list. Keep a separate development app so the lock lands on the production app.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add samber/developer-platform-skills/shopify-app-store-playbook@sha256:cc4581f3154a9eb2

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
