Simicart Earns “Built for Shopify” Badge and Is Featured as a Staff Pick on Shopify App Store
We are proud to announce that Simicart has recently achieved two major milestones that reflect our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, merchant-first solutions for the Shopify ecosystem.
Simicart Is Now “Built for Shopify”
Simicart has officially been awarded the Built for Shopify badge, the highest level of app recognition from Shopify. This badge is reserved for apps that meet the platform’s most stringent criteria across four key pillars: quality, performance, security, and usability. Earning this certification places Simicart among a select group of apps—fewer than 4% out of over 12,000 apps on the Shopify App Store—that meet Shopify’s highest technical and experience standards.
To qualify for the Built for Shopify badge, apps must pass a detailed manual review process. Shopify evaluates each app across multiple quality benchmarks:
Trustworthiness: Apps must handle merchant and customer data securely, use approved APIs, and uninstall cleanly without leaving residual code.
Performance: Apps must load quickly and have minimal impact on store speed, meeting Core Web Vitals requirements.
Ease of use: Apps should offer a smooth, intuitive experience and integrate seamlessly into the Shopify admin, using the Polaris design system where applicable.
Proven value: Shopify reviews the app’s install rates, user engagement, merchant reviews, and overall contribution to store success.
In addition to increased visibility within the App Store, the badge also gives developers access to enhanced marketing opportunities, faster review times for future updates, and validation from one of the most trusted names in eCommerce.
Featured in the “In the Spotlight” Section
In addition to earning the Built for Shopify badge, Simicart has also been selected by the Shopify Apps Team to be featured in the “In the Spotlight” section on the Shopify App Store homepage. This section showcases apps that have been handpicked by Shopify staff for their excellence in product quality, innovation, and merchant support.
Each week, Shopify features only a few apps in this section, highlighting those that demonstrate a strong alignment with Shopify’s ecosystem standards and a track record of helping merchants succeed. Our feature is scheduled to appear for one full week beginning Friday, July 4th.
Being selected as a Staff Pick underscores our continued investment in the Shopify ecosystem and our focus on building tools that are not only functional but truly impactful for merchants. Shopify staff recognize and feature apps that provide strong features, offer reliable support, and consistently deliver merchant value.
What This Means for Merchants
These two achievements serve as a powerful signal to merchants considering Simicart as their mobile app solution. With both the Built for Shopify badge and a Staff Pick feature, Simicart stands out as a proven, reliable, and scalable choice for Shopify stores looking to go mobile.
By choosing Simicart, merchants benefit from:
A high-quality mobile app builder that meets Shopify’s latest technical and user experience standards.
Increased confidence and trust, thanks to rigorous review and endorsement by Shopify.
A streamlined app experience that integrates natively with the Shopify admin.
Access to a solution that has demonstrated strong impact through real-world use cases and customer reviews.
We are honored by the recognition and grateful to our users, partners, and the Shopify team for their continued support. These milestones represent not just a reward for our past efforts, but a motivation to keep improving, innovating, and delivering value.
