We're Officially Built for Shopify: Why Native Design Matters - illustration for blog post about announcementsshopify

We are thrilled to announce that My Product Cares has officially earned the Built for Shopify badge.

This isn’t just a badge on our listing—it’s a validation of our core philosophy since day one: build specifically for Shopify merchants, not just for the platform.

What Does “Built for Shopify” Mean?

The Built for Shopify program is Shopify’s highest standard for app quality. To earn this badge, an app must meet rigorous criteria in three key areas:

  1. Safety & Security: Meeting strict data handling and privacy standards.
  2. Performance: Ensuring the app doesn’t slow down your admin or storefront.
  3. Usefulness & Clean Design: Providing an intuitive, embedded experience that feels like part of Shopify itself.

Only a small percentage of apps achieve this status. It guarantees that when you choose our app, you’re choosing a tool that is fast, secure, and reliable.

The “Native” Difference: Why It Matters

In the world of Shopify apps, there are two types of tools: those built for Shopify, and those ported to Shopify.

Many of our competitors started as standalone platforms or tools built for other ecosystems. They later created a “connector” to plug into Shopify. While this works functionally, the experience often feels disjointed. You might find yourself:

  • Bouncing between different dashboards with different logins.
  • Dealing with user interfaces that look nothing like Shopify.
  • Facing compatibility issues with Shopify’s latest themes or features.

My Product Cares is different.

We built our platform from the ground up exclusively for Shopify. We didn’t adapt an old tool; we designed every pixel to feel native to your Shopify admin.

1. Seamless UI/UX

Our interface uses Shopify’s own design language (Polaris). When you open My Product Cares, it feels like you never left your Shopify admin. There’s no learning curve—if you know how to use Shopify, you know how to use our app.

2. Deep Integration

Because we aren’t splitting our focus across multiple e-commerce platforms, we can integrate deeper. Our data flows seamlessly into your Customers and Orders sections. Our forms work perfectly with Online Store 2.0 themes because they were designed for them, not adapted to them.

3. Performance First

“Ported” apps often carry a lot of legacy code bloat because they have to support multiple systems. Our codebase is lean and optimized specifically for Shopify’s infrastructure. This means faster loading times for you and, more importantly, for your customers.

Why This Badge is a Promise

Earning the Built for Shopify badge is a milestone, but it’s also a promise. It’s our commitment that we will continue to uphold the highest standards of quality.

While other apps might offer product registration as a side feature of a larger, generic system, we are dedicated to being the best Shopify-native after-sales platform. We believe that sticking to one platform allows us to master it completely, providing you with a tool that is robust, beautiful, and “just works.”

Thank you to all the merchants who helped us get here with your feedback and reviews. This badge belongs to you as much as it does to us.
