I am starting to create my first app using PHP laravel and osiset.
I have created a partner account and created an app as well. I have integrated the library also. Done with app installation and authorization.
Now I am stuck for the next step. I don't understand how can I link my code and settings implemented on my app to Shopify frontend. How can I link the app database to Shopify website?
I save all the customized data in the app and how can I link that data with Shopify website?
I am able to make a standalone app with PHP but don't understand how its data can be linked to Shopify website. How my app database can be used in shopify website?
I am new here. Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
You have two main choices in 2022.
App Proxy
Theme App Extension
Also, Post-Purchase extensions, for checkout stuff, but I digress. You should have no trouble injecting your special content using #1 or #2.

I am trying to make one feature in my Shopify theme that is currently integrated using 3rd party app. now I am achieving the same functionality using liquid code and javascript code but now I want to test without the app and once all tested on the development and if all working well then an then I want to push or deploy on a live one.
so for that, I want to remove that 3rd party app reference in the development theme only. the app will add js using a script tag.
I am using Shopify CLI to develop the theme feature. also I have blocked the JS of that app from the console window but I need to block it permanently on an unpublish theme so I can send the preview link to everyone to test the same things on a different machine and in a different browser.
My goal is to display data retrieved from a 3rd party (external) API that requires authentication in my Liquid Shopify theme.
I'm looking to access product options data from the Hulk Product Options API, which requires authentication, as documented here: https://productoption.hulkapps.com/api-docs/index.html
My goal would be to send a get request and retrieve data from the Hulk Product Options endpoint.
I've read that an App Proxy is what I need to set up, however I am new to the Shopify app world and am totally lost at how to set this up.
What I've done:
Followed the steps here to create an app and install it on a development store that I created through my partners dashboard.
Went to the partners dashboard, clicked "Apps" and found the app proxy section.
Questions:
What do I put in those fields? I can't find examples for filling out that section with info from an external API.
What code in which file do I need to add to the node app that was generated using shopify node create. Or is this app just necessary to be able to fill out the app proxy info?
What url can I send a GET request to using AJAX / JS in my liquid theme code?
I'm a theme developer new to app development and have never created an app, so if you can provide basic and specific instructions (code would be wonderful!) for someone who knows front-end and is competent but is lost in the app world it's much appreciated. I've asked other theme developers who also have also tried and not been able to figure this out, so there seems to be a gap in the tutorials and resources provided.
Thanks in advance!
I'm using the BigCommerce embedded checkout on an external site and want to know if there's a way to alter it?
I edited the theme files in the browser via the admin panel as well as following this tutorial to edit the Checkout SDK. In each case the changes showed up on the checkout of my BigCommerce site but not on the embedded checkout of my external site.
An embedded checkout is rendered separately from the respective store's built-in checkout so changes made via the Checkout SDK aren't supported. The Storefront Web APIs don't currently support CORS and because of that this library only functions on BigCommerce storefronts.
I want create an affiliate application for Bigcommerce to interact with my store. I trying to use API but it's not work proper.
Follow the instructions on https://developer.bigcommerce.com/ to build an app.
https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api-docs/getting-started/building-apps-bigcommerce/building-apps
If you need help with a specific API, try posting the details of the request, and what you're trying to do.
This is a general question I know. I read the documentation and I'm completely lost. I know how OAuth works and I know how to do basic access to the API. But my question is:
How to create a public app that users can install? How can the app be integrated with store's panel dashboard? Initially, I don't want my apps to listed, do I have to host my own app?
There are two kinds of Shopify apps: public and private apps. Public apps are listed in Shopify's App Store, where it's only place store owners can install apps. Private apps are built for specific stores so they aren't necessary listed anywhere.
You do need to host your apps, your apps are basically web applications.
Shopify provides an Embedded App SDK which you can use to integrate your app smoothly inside store owners' Admin panel. If you also use Shopify Polaris to build front-end with ReactJS then your apps' user interface is exactly same as Shopify's
I have created a sample Shopify app with NodeJS - hello-shopify - it's easy to start if you are familiar with NodeJS.
