Can you promote in r/shopify?

This subreddit is a forum to ask or seek any information regarding Shopify. Store owners can discuss any Shopify-specific issues. Note that this is a promotion-free sub and the rules (please read them) are very strictly enforced. Your post must be specific and unique to the Shopify platform.

The short answer

Do not promote or mention your product/company; only participate with pure, non-promotional Shopify-specific help and meet account requirements.

What works here

  • Answering Shopify-specific technical questions without self-promotion
  • Posting non-promotional, platform-specific troubleshooting or advice

What gets posts removed

  • Advertising, product or service mentions, or asking for customers
  • Posting links to products, apps, blogs, signup pages or external content
  • Soliciting DMs, offering paid/free help, app research, or developer recruitment
