An End User License Agreement (EULA) is the license that governs how people may install and use your software: the rights you grant and the restrictions and disclaimers attached to them. For a Shopify App, getting it right matters: Shopify requires every app in the App Store to provide a privacy policy and to comply with its Protected Customer Data requirements for merchant and buyer data. This free EULA generator asks a few questions about your Shopify App and assembles a tailored document you can copy or download in seconds.
Why your Shopify App needs a EULA
A EULA sets the terms of a software license rather than a service, limits your liability, and lets you prohibit misuse such as reverse-engineering, resale, or redistribution.
Shopify requires every app in the App Store to provide a privacy policy and to comply with its Protected Customer Data requirements for merchant and buyer data.
What a Shopify App EULA should cover
A good EULA for a Shopify App is specific to how your product works. At a minimum, address:
- Merchant and buyer data accessed through the Shopify API
- How you handle Protected Customer Data and data minimization
- Mandatory GDPR/CCPA webhooks for data requests and erasure
- The scope of the license you grant (personal, non-exclusive, revocable)
- Restrictions such as no reverse-engineering, resale, or redistribution
- Ownership of intellectual property and any third-party components
- A warranty disclaimer, liability limits, and termination terms
How this generator works
PolicySmith builds your EULA entirely in your browser — nothing you type is sent to a server. Answer the questions above about analytics, payments, AI features, and the regions your users live in, and the document updates to match. Export it as HTML or Markdown, paste it into your Shopify App, and link to it from your store listing or footer.
Frequently asked questions
What does Shopify require for app privacy policies?
Shopify app review requires a reachable privacy policy and adherence to Protected Customer Data rules, including implementing the customers/redact, shop/redact, and customers/data_request webhooks.
EULA or terms of service — which do I need?
A EULA licenses installed software; terms of service govern an online service. Desktop, mobile, and downloadable apps typically use a EULA, while web and SaaS products use terms of service — some use both.
Is a click-through EULA enforceable?
Generally yes, when users must affirmatively accept it (a clickwrap "I agree") before using the software. A EULA with no acceptance step is weaker. Have a lawyer review high-stakes terms.
