Shopify has implemented updates to its Partner Program Agreement and API License and Terms of Use, effective July 16, 2025. These changes are designed to support partner and merchant growth while maintaining platform reliability and performance. Revenue share updates take effect January 1, 2025, with continued service use constituting acceptance of the new terms.
For Shopify developers and partners, these updated terms directly affect how you build, deploy, and monetize applications on the platform. Understanding the new licensing requirements and revenue share adjustments is critical to ensuring your apps remain compliant and your business relationships with Shopify stay in good standing. Partners who don't review and adapt to these changes risk service interruptions or reduced revenue opportunities.
