What does Shopify Launch Check scan?
Shopify Launch Check is an app built by Shopify. Per its help page, it uses AI and Shopify APIs to review, in about 2 minutes:
- Store data
- Shopify admin settings
- Storefront elements
- B2B setup
- POS configuration
The App Store listing shows it as Free on October 25, 2026; the Help Center pages we read that day name no plan requirement.
The App Store listing says it needs to view customer data, staff and contributor data, and store data. The app might also display your Shopify Payments configuration. Give its app permissions only to staff or Partners you trust.
How to read its four results
Shopify's help page gives each task one of four results:
- Ready: baseline requirements are met; still review the findings.
- Not ready: issues could affect launch; fix them, then mark the task Ready.
- Confirm set up: technically correct; confirm it fits your business.
- Check manually: it can't be verified automatically, so you do it and update the status.
- Apps
- Launch Check
Re-run it after fixes: in the areas you re-check, any task you haven't manually edited is reassessed based on your store's current state.
Does it replace your own launch checklist?
No. Tasks marked Check manually are yours by design, and its help page asks you to review all the results before launch; Shopify's launch guide separately recommends test orders. The Launch Check help page and listing we read on October 25, 2026 don't say the app places one, so place your own test order.
Plus stores and POS launches have their own Shopify lists: the Plus launch checklist and the POS launch checklist. Our Shopify Store Launch Checklist is a separate list on this site, not a Shopify app.
