Shopify Expands App Store Ads to Mobile in 2025 with Advanced Targeting Options

What Changed

Shopify has significantly expanded its App Store advertising platform by launching mobile ad support and introducing sophisticated targeting capabilities. Developers can now run ads on mobile devices alongside existing desktop placements, and set differentiated bid prices for each device type. New targeting options allow you to reach merchants based on geographic location or subscription plan type across the homepage and category pages.

Why This Matters

This update opens substantial new opportunities for app developers to reach merchants where they're actively browsing—on mobile devices. With mobile commerce continuing to dominate, having access to this channel is critical for visibility and user acquisition. The ability to adjust bids by device type and target specific merchant segments means you can optimize your ad spend more intelligently and improve your return on investment.
