Does the Auware app conflict with any other Shopify apps?

Auware avoids conflicts by using Shopify-native methods like meta objects and app proxies. It never edits theme code, keeping your store fast, stable, and compatible with other apps.

Not that we know of.

Auware was intentionally designed to avoid conflicts with other Shopify apps and with your existing storefront. We know that many agencies manage complex stores with multiple apps installed, so we built Auware to stay lightweight, isolated, and non-intrusive.

Technically, Auware relies on Shopify’s meta objects to store and manage its data. Meta objects are structured data containers provided by Shopify that allow apps to extend store functionality without modifying theme code or overwriting native objects. By using meta objects, Auware keeps its data separate from your product catalog, theme files, and existing store logic. This ensures that your current setup remains untouched and that no conflicts occur with other apps that also rely on Shopify’s ecosystem.

When Auware publishes landing pages, it does so as independent entities that are not added to your navigation or sitemap. These pages exist only for the campaigns you launch and can be safely removed if you uninstall the app. Unlike some builders that inject code into your theme or add script tags that run globally across your site, Auware keeps its presence limited to where it is needed. This minimizes performance overhead and reduces the risk of creating conflicts with other tools.

From an API standpoint, Auware uses standard Shopify endpoints to access only what it requires. For example, we use the Orders API to identify which purchases came through Auware landing pages, tagging them with “Auware” for attribution. We also use Shopify App Proxies to capture visitor data, which routes requests securely through Shopify before they reach our system. These methods are fully compliant with Shopify’s best practices, which is why conflicts are highly unlikely.

Another key design choice was to avoid making permanent changes to your theme or assets. Many apps inject liquid code, add custom templates, or create orphaned files that remain even after uninstalling. Auware does not do this. When you uninstall the app, we remove our meta objects, revoke API access, and delete your Auware campaigns. Your store returns to its original state with no leftover clutter. This approach not only prevents conflicts while the app is installed but also ensures a clean removal if you decide to stop using it.

Of course, Shopify stores vary widely in configuration, and no app developer can predict every possible interaction. If you do encounter an issue while running Auware alongside another app, we want to hear about it immediately. You can contact support and we will investigate to ensure compatibility.

In short, Auware uses Shopify-native methods like meta objects and app proxies, avoids theme changes, and keeps its footprint isolated. This design makes conflicts with other apps highly unlikely and ensures your store remains fast, stable, and secure.
