On November 12, 2026, Shopify awarded MODA AI Built for Shopify status. It is Shopify’s quality program for apps, and you will now see the badge on our Shopify App Store listing.
To earn it, an app goes through a review by Shopify’s own team, on top of automated checks. We want to explain what they look at and what it means when you use MODA AI to build your catalog.
What Shopify checks
Shopify publishes the full list in its Built for Shopify requirements. In short, it covers three things:
- Performance. The app has to meet Shopify’s speed benchmarks, measured on real merchants’ admin sessions.
- Integration. The app runs inside the Shopify admin, with no separate website to log into, and its main work happens there.
- Design. It has to look and behave like the rest of Shopify, work on a phone, guide new merchants through setup, and show useful information on its home page.
The status isn’t permanent either. Shopify reviews it every year, so the bar stays where it is.
What it means when you use MODA AI
Everything happens in your Shopify admin. You install MODA AI from the App Store, open it from your admin menu and start straight away, with no extra account. Credits are bought through Shopify’s own billing, and your finished photos go straight onto a product or into Shopify Files.
The first time you open the app, a short setup guide walks you through the three steps that matter: create your first catalog, add the photos to your store, and turn them into a video. Once you dismiss it, the home page shows how many catalogs and videos you have made, your last run, and your recent runs.
It also works the way the rest of your admin does, on a laptop or on your phone.
The same product underneath
The badge is about how the app works inside Shopify. What it makes hasn’t changed: you upload the front and back of one garment, and MODA AI shoots it ten ways on the same model, for one credit.
What went in: the front and back of one striped polo.
What came back: ten frames on one model, from a single run.
