Installing apps

After you've found an app that you want to use, you need to add it to your store. You can either install it from the Shopify App Store or with a third-party install link. If you want toinstall a custom app, then you need to use the unique install link provided by the developer.

Install an app through the Shopify App Store

Steps:

1. Log in to theShopify App Store.
2. Find an appthat you want to install, and then click it.
3. On the app listing page, clickAdd app.
4. In your Shopify admin, to authorize the use of the app, clickInstall app.

After the app is installed, you can view and use it from theAppspage in your Shopify admin.

Install an app with a third-party install link

Steps:

1. Get the app install link from the developer's site, and then click the link.
2. In your Shopify admin, to authorize the use of the app, clickInstall app.

When installing with a third-party install link, you receive a warning that the app isn’t from the Shopify App Store. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the app is unsafe. However, the app has not been through the verification and approval process that’s required for apps that are listed in the Shopify App Store.

Install a custom app

If you hire a developer to build acustom appfor your Shopify store, then they provide you with an installation link. Custom app installation links are specific to your store, and can't be used to install the app on another store.

Steps:

1. Get the app install link from the developer, and then click the link.
2. In your Shopify admin, to authorize the use of the app, clickInstall app.

For security reasons, custom install links expire after seven days. If your link expires, then the app developer needs to provide a new one.
