Can you promote in r/shopifydev?

A place for Shopify Apps and Store developers. Do not share what are you working on. Surveys are not allowed.

The short answer

Do not advertise or post links; only engage by providing on-topic technical help and, if hiring, follow the strict hiring-post requirements or seek moderator approval first.

What works here

  • On-topic technical Q&A and discussion
  • Detailed hiring requests that include project description, budget, timeline, and document link
  • Partnership/co-dev requests from developers or proven public track records (with intent to support developer vision)
  • As a verified member with prior approval, limited promotional posts

What gets posts removed

  • Posting product/store/service links or promotional content
  • Soliciting customers, marketplace listings, or sales offers
  • Posting surveys/polls or data-collection requests without mod approval
  • Low-quality or off-topic posts and vague feedback requests
