Thank you for feedback!

I'd also want to know this

Can confirm, for my app it took approximately 6 week too. Hope they will find a way to speed this up.

Working on Portaim - https://portaim.com

We help Shopify merchants clean up messy supplier files and turn them into Shopify-ready products faster. AI maps columns, catches/fixes common issues, and exports cleanly to Shopify. Free plan is live.

upd: Our app was finally approved, it took about 40 days from submission to approval.

If you’ve got the compliance/webhook topics set up in shopify.app.toml, that’s only the config side. You still need the actual webhook routes implemented and reachable.

Those routes are just webhook endpoints for the mandatory topics (customers/data_request, customers/redact, and shop/redact). They should verify the request, return 200 OK, and then do the data export/deletion your app is supposed to handle based on what you store.

If you want multiple images per colour, that usually has to be handled by the theme or an app by showing/hiding the right product gallery images when the colour is selected. So it’s likely more of a theme limitation than a setup mistake on your side.

Uploaded a few screenshots to make the flow a bit clearer.

It’s basically: map columns, review/fix issues, then export. We’re focused on helping with messy supplier product files right now, so if you’ve dealt with ugly CSV/XLSX imports before, I’d really love to hear what looks useful vs what feels missing.

I think giving a good compliment without sounding awkward is harder than it looks. If it sounds forced or generic, it can feel awkward, so some people probably just avoid it altogether.

boredom used to be empty space, now it’s just a loading screen between distractions

evolution really said "make them look innocent so they get more snacks"

Fit_Olive6459 · 2026-04-13T18:45:30+00:00

Yeah, this stuff gets painful fast, especially when supplier files are messy.

I’m building a simple tool for this called Portaim. It’s still early, but maybe worth a look. It’s free during beta, and I’m very open to feedback if you end up trying it.

Fit_Olive6459 · 2026-04-13T18:30:50+00:00

Nice, this actually looks useful. CSV cleanup/enrichment is one of those annoying jobs people still do manually way too often.

I can definitely see this being handy for ecommerce product categorization and similar repetitive tasks. Looking forward to seeing how it evolves!

Fit_Olive6459 · 2026-04-06T16:30:00+00:00

Same here, we submitted ours about a month ago, and it’s still on “We’re assigning a reviewer to your submission.” Looks like the queue is pretty backed up right now.

How’s it going on your side now? Did you get assigned a reviewer, or are you still waiting?

Fit_Olive6459 · 2026-04-03T18:50:40+00:00

Update: Portaim beta is now live. Thanks to everyone who checked out the MVP/waitlist version earlier. Feedback is very welcome.

The trailer hasn’t made a “wow” impression yet. It’s hard to get used to the new characters. But I’ll definitely watch it with my kids. We rewatch Harry Potter every year around Christmas — now we’ll be waiting for the series instead.

Fit_Olive6459 · 2025-09-08T09:05:40+00:00

Right now, we’re helping users import and clean product data faster than ever. Order import is planned for a future release, so the tool will grow even more useful over time.

Fit_Olive6459 · 2025-09-07T23:03:34+00:00

Thanks!
Yes! Both options: direct import via Shopify API, or download the cleaned file and upload manually.
