Shopify Policy Change

Shopify integration support in Tradevine ends on 30 June 2023. If you want to keep using Shopify with Tradevine, you will need to create your own Shopify custom app. Shopify changed their app store policies and the types of applications they support – affecting Tradevine and third-party systems. This change means we can’t continue to support this integration.

If you want to keep using Tradevine with Shopify, you will need to create your own custom application by 30 June 2023.

For Tradevine Sellers who are currently using this feature please check your email for more information. We also have an FAQ you can read.
