TLDR: Don't even have Stripe as an option for Shopify users or we'll boot you. Also backpay since Jan 2019.
"At Shopify, it is critical to maintain high trust and integrity within the Shopify App Store, so merchants have a reliable place to find solutions to grow their business.
During a routine investigation, Partner Governance identified your app [our app] as offering external billing for Shopify merchants and not using the Billing API for all payments.
[a couple of images of our cart]
As you are aware, all paid apps are required to use our Billing API, as noted in our Partner Program Agreement (Section 3.2 Payments, Point 5) unless express permission is granted by Shopify.
Payment information should not be obtained from the merchant directly and all charges should be processed through the billing API.
We require that you make the required changes as soon as possible to ensure all future payments are handled through our billing API. This would include redirecting any current merchants to select their plan and re-approve the new subscription through the Billing API and ensuring that all new merchants are billed through the API.
Shopify has also recently rolled out an annual subscription feature on the Billing API that makes the yearly subscription event easier on the API.
Additionally, we will require a report of the merchants who have been billed outside of the Billing API and retroactive revenue share payment for any/all qualifying 20% revenue dated January 2019 - Present.
Once the report has been reviewed, we will reach out with next steps on how to submit the transfer of funds to Shopify via wire transfer."

building Your Next Store, a modern, ultra-fast, open-source commerce in Next.js with Stripe as the backend - no DB required.
Selling online is often more complex than it needs to be. Setting up a storefront with great performance can feel daunting and time-consuming. There are many plugins, libraries, etc - the choice can be overwhelming.
Plus, in e-commerce, the backend and frontend are often written in different languages (e.g., PHP, Python, or Ruby for the backend). This increases the complexity and makes code management more challenging, especially for teams.
After working in e-commerce for several years, Micha\u0142 and I set out to build the fastest and most compelling storefront for small to medium-sized merchants. Fast e-commerce sites are crucial because slow pages hurt sales [1]. Unfortunately, performance issues are still very common. The beauty of Your Next Store is its simplicity. No additional tools and no databases - just Next.js and Stripe.
On the technical side, we use App Router, React Server Component, Partial Pre-Rendering, Optimistic Updates, and Streaming with Suspense to make the store faster and leaner so it feels almost like a static website.
In summary:
Modern & Popular Stack: Built with Next.js, React.js, and TypeScript, making development faster and hiring easier compared to platforms that use less common frameworks like Shopify\u2019s Liquid.
No Database Needed: Stripe handles the backend, reducing the need for complex infrastructure and simplifying the setup process.
Open Source: Free and open (AGPL), with the option for a commercial license if needed.
This is just the beginning. We want to make YNS even better and easier to use and eventually provide a good, open-source alternative to Shopify.
