RuffRuff Tags Help Center

Development Stores

Learn the requirements for development stores and Shopify Plus development environments.

Development stores created through a Shopify Partner account can test every RuffRuff Product & Blog Tags plan for free. Shopify Plus staging and sandbox environments require separate confirmation.

Prerequisite: This applies to non-Shopify Plus development stores created through a Shopify Partner account.

Eligible development stores can use the app under the following conditions.

  • Subscribe to the Free, Light, or Regular plan at no charge

  • Test every feature included in the selected plan without restrictions

  • Select the plan from the Plans page in the app

For more information about Shopify development stores, see Shopify Help Center: Development stores.

When a development store is launched or ownership is transferred, its free plan subscription is canceled automatically. To continue using the app, subscribe to a plan again from the Plans page after launch or transfer.

Note: If the development store previously subscribed to a paid plan at no charge, the free trial will not apply after the store is launched or transferred.

To test a paid plan in a Shopify Plus development environment, contact us for a dedicated URL that enables a free subscription.

(1) Install the app in the production and development environments
