API Terms.

The terms for connecting software to our apps: Mobile App Builder’s AI tools and outbound webhooks, and any API key we give you.

In plain words

Keys are secrets

Keep them on your server, never in an app or a web page. Revoke them if they leak.

Within the limits

Rate and size limits keep the apps fast for every store. Don’t work around them.

Drafts, not surprises

AI tools can change your app’s draft design, never publish it or touch orders.

Data stays protected

What you receive through our APIs is yours to protect, under the law and Shopify’s rules.
