Conversation
Public apps are deprecated in favour of custom apps, so remove public-app content from the docs entirely (rather than leaving a deprecation banner): - Delete the "Set up Shopify using public apps" page. - Shopify overview: drop the two-approaches framing and the "About public apps" / public-app OAuth sections — custom apps only. - Commerce overview table: reclassify the Shopify row for custom apps (no Codat-side registration/approval) and remove the public-app footnote. - Testing page: remove the public-app connection branch. - Sidebar: remove the Public apps entry and flatten the single-item Setup category so Custom apps sits directly under Shopify. - Redirects: point the old public-apps URLs (and the deleted page) to the custom apps page so existing links don't 404. Adds a changelog deprecation post (dated 2026-06-03) as the announcement, and a codatchris author entry. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Apply the two agreed softenings from the review thread to match Codat's documented Shopify posture (don't tout avoiding Shopify app review as a benefit; frame around client effort): - "the standard, recommended method" -> "the standard method" - "Require no app review or approval from Shopify" -> "Don't require you to build and submit your own public Shopify app" Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
