This made me smile and sad in equal measure 🙈

We've just launched Purchase Order support!
With Stocky going away in August, its left a gap & a lot of worries for merchants.
We now support Stock Takes (Inventory Counts), Transfers, Replenishments & now Purchase Orders.
All included for no extra cost

If Shopify added support via Partner dashboard for apps it would be incredible powerful. Merchants could better trust the emails they get from app devs, key messages for upgrading or problems would get through rather than unseen & would unify the experience further for merchants

10) Support
This is a biggie, right now Shopify is pushing for native development deeply integrating apps into the Admin and other surfaces.
But app support is still a wildwest for merchants, some chat, some email, emails come from devs which the merchant won't know.

9) Usage Based Managed Pricing
Managed pricing came out quite a long time ago now in Shopify Dev time anyway. But it has gone quite quiet on when it will support usage based pricing and would make it easier for apps to help merchants only pay for what they use

productVariantsCount filter Hi, At the moment the productVariantsCount has a query parameter, however the docs and in testing no filters are supported or work. Are there any plans to support queries here? As the productsCount ...

8) Filterable GraphQL Counts
Some entities like products can have counts with a filter applied, but its very inconsistent and sometimes doesn't work.
This would save so much querying and downloading of data if simple count aggregations with filters worked
community.shopify.dev/t/productvar...

Draft Orders API Limitations yea last time I checked draft order trigger order routing but they dont consider it, meaning its always primary or default location being selected for fulfillment once a draft reserves inventory, or s...

7) Metafield filtering
This is really powerful on products, I'd love to see it roll out to other entities, such as draft orders to be able to better integrate and work with them. Speeding up app and merchant workflows
community.shopify.dev/t/draft-orde...

6) Shopify search my app
With the Sidekick integration coming, I'd love for the global Shopify search bar to also be able to search the installed apps for functionality and documentation. It would really help merchants quickly find what they need.

5) Create views for merchants
Love building Shopify natively, but would love an API to create a view across products / inventory etc for a merchant so you could display specific information for a staffs / app specific workflows.
Maybe with merchants having to approve

4) POS Push Notifications and Sound
Right now apps can send in POS toast notifications, but for more critical actions and feedback adding the ability to send real mobile push notifications and play sounds would really help retailers managing their tasks and staff

3) Stabilising Preact Web Components.
I love the move to web components & preact. But the feature parity across Web & POS for example isn't great right now, leading to delaying upgrading.
Likewise the more complex components seem to have quite a few bugs

2) Inventory in Shopify functions
Would love for inventory information to be available in Shopify Functions, would be able to make smarter discounting logic, better order routing.
Would be a big improvement for multi location and physical retailers

[Bug]: Inventory States Hello Inventory Team, I’m currently using Inventory States to correctly reflect where inventory is located. However, when running mutations to adjust inventory quantities, it results in the inventor...

1) Managing Inventory states as an app, just doesn't display correctly in Shopify Admin. All the inventory states an app might set get rolled up into managed by so v unclear for merchants
