Not directly: route it through a connector that writes the row — Zapier (paid plans), Make or n8n — or a Google Apps Script web app you test first.
September 25, 2026
Yes, but outside a promo trial only via Shopify Support before your annual cycle ends; monthly billing starts when it ends.
September 25, 2026
Apps see only the last 60 days of orders by default; older ones need the read_all_orders scope, which Shopify must approve for App Store apps.
September 25, 2026
Only units already placed on the EU market before 18 February 2027; each later unit with a portable battery needs it user-replaceable unless exempt.
September 25, 2026
Yes: online sales to users in an EU country you aren't based in make you its WEEE producer; register via a representative if EU-based or unregistered.
September 25, 2026
If you must e-invoice, a B2B invoice without an IRN isn't a valid tax invoice: your buyer can't claim ITC on it and a penalty can apply.

Yes, if your store is eligible: Meta's direct checkout, Muse included when available, is on by default for shoppers in the US, Canada and Mexico.
September 25, 2026
Yes: built-in Estimated delivery dates show at checkout without an app — Manual on all plans, Automated on Basic and up in 33 countries.
September 25, 2026
Not with native quantity rules, which count each variant alone; a validation Function (a custom one needs Shopify Plus) or an app can enforce it.
September 25, 2026
No: on a development store, apps run on free or $0 test plans; a plan's price still applies on production stores.

Yes: a draft in a non-store currency locks the exchange rate at creation, but editing it later recalculates the whole order.
