Yep, looks like Monk has been targeted as well. This 1 star review came in from a store that didn't even start their free trial (which is literally the 1st screen you see after installing the app) Seems like a targeted attack at all apps ranking on 'checkout' related keywords.

We've been hit with another fake 1 star review - this is incredibly frustrating. Exact same playbook as the previous fake review and it's quite sophisticated - 1. Both stores are from Pakistan 2. Both installs came on 26th Feb, 11pm GMT (10 minute difference between the two)

Did some digging and it looks like 15 apps have been targeted in total (maybe more), all of them building checkout specific solutions for brands on Shopify Plus.

Forget the screenshots. Ignore all the MRR posts. For every flashy Shopify dashboard or MRR chart there are countless others fighting it out. Show up daily, stay at it.

I've been talking to Shopify app devs all weekend & documeting this in a sheet. I intend on sharing it with Shopify support soon. Currently at 25 fake reviews across 15 apps. DM me for link.

Update: Both reviews seem to have been removed by Shopify now. Thank you to everyone who helped amplify this + the folks at Shopify who looked into it! Back to business-as-usual and building for our merchants.

Anyone who’s adept at reducing build size of rust functions on Shopify? Looking for assistance on it, please comment/RT if someone in your network can help. Happy to pay for your/their time as well.

Is there a way for Shopify merchant share the validation function errors to an app? For discount functions, we get an option to share the errors on the Discounts page alongside the discount code which has errors, does something similar exist for validation functions?

Anyone in the Shopify ecosystem that's worked at the intersection of Shopify Functions and POS? Would love to buy a coffee + chat and learn a few things :)
