Card #570 · Shopify App Store
Forced product listing and reviews on Shopify Shop app
Merchants are unable to opt out of having their product catalogs and pricing live on the Shopify Shop app, even after uninstalling the channel. This leads to products being available for sale and receiving reviews that merchants cannot manage or disable, regardless of their admin settings.

§ Evidence — 3 verified quotes
all stores are on the shop app regardless of whether or not you want to be on the shop app.
Your products + pricing are live on Shopify’s Shop, even if you don’t have any of your products live on the Shop channel and even if you uninstall the Shop channel.
Forcing us into a review system that we cannot manage or opt out of is a massive breach of merchant control.
