Private apps are built exclusively for your Shopify store (unlike public apps, which are built to work with many stores). You can use private apps to add features to your Shopify admin, access your store's data directly using Shopify's APIs, or extend your online store to other platforms using custom storefronts.

Note

Consider asking your app developer to create a custom app. Like private apps, custom apps are built exclusively for your shop, but they don't require open API access to your store or access to your Shopify admin.

Private apps have different use cases:

  • Build an importer to migrate your data from Magento or another provider to Shopify. Instead, you can also migrate your data with the Shopify Import app.
  • Integrate your store's data with a custom solution that you're using to manage your orders, products, or inventory outside of Shopify.
  • Offer products from your Shopify store on a custom storefront, like a mobile app, website, or video game.

If your store is on the trial plan, then you can't create more than five private apps. Otherwise, you can create as many private apps as you need. To learn more about building a private app, see Shopify's developer documentation.

Grow your business

If you need help creating private apps for your store, then you can hire a Shopify expert.

Enable private app development from the Shopify admin

Note

The Shopify API License and Terms of Use document governs your access to and use of Shopify's APIs. Make sure you're familiar with these terms before you create a private app.

If you want to work with private apps, then you need to first enable the private app development setting in your Shopify admin. Only the store owner can enable private app development.

By default, this setting is disabled. Private apps have open API access to your store and access to your Shopify admin. If you're comfortable with a private app and its app developer having this level of access, then you can enable private app development.

Note

After you enable private app development, the feature can't be disabled.If you have private apps on your store made before July 2020, then those apps will continue to work without having to enable private app development. You can still access those apps in your Shopify admin and you can remove them if you don't need them anymore.

Steps:

  1. Log in as the store owner.
  2. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.
  3. Click Manage private apps.
  4. Click Enable private apps.
  5. Read and check the terms, and then click Enable private app development.

After you've enabled private app development, you can generate new credentials for a private app.

Generate credentials from the Shopify admin

After you enable private app development from the Shopify admin, you need to generate the required credentials from the Shopify admin of the store that you want to connect with your app.

Apps Developed By One Person Omniscient

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.

  2. Click Manage private apps.

  3. Click Create private app.

  4. In the App details section, enter a name for your private app and a contact email address.

    Shopify uses the email address to contact the developer if there is an issue with the private app, such as when an API change might break it.

  5. In the Admin API section, select the areas of your store that you want the app to be able to access.

  6. If you want to use the Storefront API, then select Allow this app to access your storefront data using the Storefront API.

    1. In the Storefront API permissions section, select which store data you want to expose to the app.

    Four permissions are selected by default: Read products and collections, Read and modify customers, Read and modify checkouts, and Read blogs and articles.

    Caution

    The Storefront API is an unauthenticated public API, which means that all data you expose to the app could be seen by any visitors to your store. You should use the Storefront API only if you are comfortable with this risk, and you should give permissions for only the types of data that the private app needs.

  7. When you're done, click Save.

The API key and password for your app are now displayed on screen.

Caution

Treat the API key and password like you would any other password, because whoever has access to these credentials has full API access to the store.

After you have the required credentials, the private app can access your store's data.

Change Storefront API permissions for a private app

If your private app uses the Storefront API, then you can change what areas of your store the app can access by changing the app's permissions.

Note

Changing the permissions for a private app might cause the app to stop working.

Steps:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.

  2. Click Manage private apps.

  3. Click the name of the app whose permissions you want to change.

  4. In the Storefront API section, under Storefront API permissions, select which store data you want the app to access.

Four permissions are selected by default: Read products and collections, Read and modify customers, Read and modify checkouts, and Read blogs and articles.

Caution

The Storefront API is an unauthenticated public API, which means that all data you expose to the app could be seen by any visitors to the store. You should use the Storefront API only if you are comfortable with this risk, and you should give permissions for only the types of data that the private app needs.

  1. Click Save.

  2. In the You've made changes to your app dialog, click Save.

Change the developer contact email

Shopify uses the developer contact email to contact the developer if there is an issue with the private app, such as when an API change might break it. To make sure your app keeps working as expected, you should make sure that this email is correct and up to date.

You can change or update the developer email in the Shopify admin:

  1. From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.

  2. Click Manage private apps.

  3. Click the name of the app that you want to edit.

  4. Enter the developer's email address in the Emergency developer email field.

Delete a private app

You can delete private apps that you no longer want to use from the Apps page in your Shopify admin.

Note

After you delete a private app, you can't reinstall it unless you contact the developer who made it.

It's never been easier to send and transfer money directly from your mobile device. From splitting dinner to sending money to a friend or business, applications like Zelle, Venmo and Cash App have revolutionized how consumers move money, allowing transfers in seconds without needing to ever having to write a check or handle cash.

So what is Zelle and how does it work? Read on to learn how this payment app can make safe, quick money transfers—and what to watch out for to ensure you use it safely.

What Is Zelle?

Zelle is a mobile payment application that allows peer-to-peer (P2P) money transfers, simplifying the process of paying for things and making it easier to move money without handling cash or visiting the bank. Users transferred $187 billion in 2019 using Zelle, an increase of 57% since 2018.

Zelle was developed by more than 30 major U.S. banks, and has a standalone app that users can download to their smartphone. The service is also integrated within the mobile banking apps of major participating banks, including Bank of America, Chase, Citi and Wells Fargo. Consumers who already have their bank's mobile app can start using Zelle right away.

How Does Zelle Work?

Unlike Venmo, money transferred using Zelle moves directly from one bank account to another. Most banking transfers between accounts require account numbers to initiate transactions, and these transactions can take up to several business days. Zelle eliminates this need, allowing users to transfer funds from one checking account to another in a matter of minutes.

To initiate a transfer, all you need is the email address or phone number of the person you're sending money to. Zelle sends the recipient a text or email indicating there's a payment waiting for them, along with a link to accept it. If the recipient's bank is a participating partner, the recipient simply needs to register for the service through their bank's website or mobile app with an email address or phone number.

Once registered, the recipient can accept the payment, though first-time users may have to wait up to three days to receive payment. If the recipient's bank is not a participating member, they can still receive the funds by downloading the Zelle mobile app, registering with an email or phone number, and entering a debit card to receive the funds.

What Banks Use Zelle?

Zelle is compatible with nearly all major banks, and most even have the service integrated into their mobile banking app. Consumers who download Zelle's standalone app must provide a phone number or email and debit card information to be able to receive and send funds.

As long as you have a Visa or Mastercard debit card, you can download Zelle and use the application to send money. If your bank already works with Zelle, you'll be directed to your bank's mobile app, as long as you have it downloaded on your device.

To see the full list of banks that work with Zelle, refer to this list.

Does Zelle Charge a Fee?

Unlike certain other P2P transfer services, Zelle does not charge any fees. Venmo and Cashapp charge fees if users send money using a credit card, and if users want to immediately deposit funds into their bank account. These fees can range from 1.5% to 3% and can make the transfer of large amounts costly.

What Is Zelle's Transfer Limit?

If your bank doesn't offer Zelle, your limit for sending money is $500 per week. If your bank does offer Zelle, you may be able to transfer larger amounts; contact your financial institution to find their spending limits. When it comes to receiving funds through Zelle, however, there are no limitations to how much you can accept.

Here are some of the major banks that offer Zelle and the daily and weekly limits they allow users to transfer using the service.

BankDaily LimitMonthly Limit
Ally Bank$5,000$10,000
Bank of America$2,500$20,000
Chase Personal Checking$2,000$16,000
Chase Business Checking or Chase Private Client$5,000$40,000
Citibank Account, Basic Account and Access Account$2,000$10,000
Citibank Citi Priority, Citigold and Citi Private Bank$5,000$15,000
Citizens Bank$1,000$5,000
PNC Bank$1,000$5,000
U.S. Bank$2,500$10,000
USAA$1,000$10,000
Wells Fargo$2,500$20,000

Is Zelle Safe?

Compared with handling cash and sending bills or checks in the mail, Zelle could be considered a safer option for moving money quickly. Because the funds never sit in a third-party location, your money is always insured. And the company touts its security, because the idea is that your bank is already protecting your personal financial data.

One caveat to using Zelle is that you need to be sure you're sending funds to the correct recipient—and it's a person you trust. Because the money moves so quickly, if the person you send money to has a Zelle account, the transfer will be completed in minutes and thus cannot be canceled once it's sent. That means you'll want to double-check your transfers to ensure that you don't make a mistake and send the funds to the wrong person.

Zelle's speed in transferring funds also makes it a prime target for criminals, some experts warn. If you're transferring money in exchange for goods and services, a scammer could take your money and not complete the exchange.

Indeed, Zelle does not have the safety features PayPal offers, including protection against being charged for something that wasn't purchased or for not receiving an item that they paid for. If you fall victim to a scam in which you authorize a transfer to someone for goods and services that they do not ultimately provide, there may not be a way to recoup those funds through Zelle. If your account is hacked and money is transferred without your authorization, Zelle recommends you contact your financial institution to see if you can report the fraud and get your money back. You can find out more information about fraud and scams on Zelle's website.

Is Using Zelle a Good Option?

Apps Developed By One Person Whose

Overall, if you need to transfer money quickly, Zelle is a good, no-cost option that works almost instantly. Unlike other P2P transfer apps, Zelle does not charge fees, and easily moves money between banks, making it one of the better options for immediate transfers.

Though it may be a quick and easy option, it's important for users to remember to use it responsibly, making sure to confirm they're sending funds to people they know and trust. If you are going to use Zelle to pay for goods and services provided by someone you haven't met, make sure they are reputable before transfering money, as this is one of the major areas of loss while using money-transfer apps.
