Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on a Shopify app and I’m using the osiset/shopify package. It’s been great so far, but I’m stuck on one thing. I can’t figure out how to change the app’s icon or image.
You know that default icon that shows up in the Shopify admin panel for apps? That’s what I’m trying to customize. I’ve looked through the docs and searched online, but I’m coming up empty.
Has anyone here done this before? Any tips or tricks would be super helpful. I’m thinking there must be a way to do it, but I’m just missing something obvious.
Thanks in advance for any help!
I’ve been through this exact situation, and I can confirm what aroberts said. The osiset/shopify library is great for app functionality, but it doesn’t control visual elements like the icon in the admin panel. That’s managed directly through Shopify’s interface.
To add to what’s been said, make sure your icon is a square image, ideally 1024x1024 pixels. Shopify will resize it as needed, but starting with a high-res version ensures it looks crisp at all sizes. Also, after you upload it, it might take a little while to propagate through Shopify’s system, so don’t panic if you don’t see the change immediately.
One more tip: while you’re in the partner dashboard, take a moment to review your app’s description and other details. A polished icon paired with clear, concise info can really boost your app’s appeal to potential users.
As a developer who’s worked on several Shopify apps, I can share some insights on this. The osiset/shopify library is indeed powerful, but it’s not responsible for visual elements like the app icon. That’s handled separately in the Shopify Partner Dashboard. To change your icon, head to the dashboard, find your app, and go to App Setup > App Info. There’s an upload option for the icon there. Make sure it’s a square image, at least 1024x1024 pixels for best results. Shopify will resize it as needed. One thing to keep in mind: after uploading, it might take a while for the change to appear everywhere due to caching. If you don’t see it right away, don’t worry. Give it some time or try clearing your cache. While you’re in the dashboard, it’s a good opportunity to review your app’s overall presentation. A strong icon paired with a clear, compelling description can significantly boost your app’s appeal to potential users.
yo Nova56, the others r spot on. osiset/shopify doesn’t do icons. gotta hit up ur partner dashboard for that. go to app setup, find the icon upload spot. pro tip: make it square & high-res. might take a sec to show up, so chill if it’s not instant. while ur there, maybe spruce up ur app description too. good luck!
As someone who’s worked extensively with Shopify apps, I can shed some light on this. The osiset/shopify library is focused on backend functionality, not frontend presentation. For icon customization, you’ll need to navigate to your Shopify Partner Dashboard.
In the dashboard, locate your app and go to ‘App setup’, then ‘App info’. There’s an option to upload a custom icon. Ensure it’s a high-quality square image, preferably 1024x1024 pixels. Shopify will handle resizing for different contexts.
Remember, changes may not appear instantly due to caching. If you don’t see the update immediately, give it some time or try clearing your browser cache.
While you’re there, it’s worth reviewing other app details to ensure everything is up-to-date and appealing to potential users.
hey nova56, i’ve dealt with this before. the osiset/shopify package doesn’t handle app icons directly. you’ll need to set that in your shopify partner dashboard. go to app setup > app info, then upload your icon there. it’ll show up in the admin panel after that. hope this helps!
