I am working on a stencil theme, (first one), just using the default Cornerstone Light theme they supply you with. I am wondering if its possible to login to my local version of the theme at the http://localhost:3000 to alter pages and nav menus. My default login credentials for my bigcommerce store don't work.
You have to login to the store online and it will sync with the local version. It isn't a complete BigCommerce VM, so it lacks the ability to support local merchant login (but does support customer login).

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 try to use command shopify theme serve in my project. My account is owner and i also create a staff account with all sensitive permissions. But the terminal always return You can't use Shopify CLI with development stores if you only have Partner staff member access. If you want to use Shopify CLI to work on a development store, then you should be the store owner or create a staff account on the store. . How i can fix this
I've had a plethora of issues with Shopify CLI, so I can help here. This has happened when I have been logged in for a while. I will need more information, but will provide a few catch-all solutions.
1.Are you using a developer account, or are you logged into a store? Try logging out and logging in again as the owner account.
What version are you using?
shopify version
Have you tried logging out and logging back into your store? This usually rectifies it.
shopify logout
shopify login --store=[your .myshopifyURL]
Are you using ruby or homebrew? I have found ruby to be much more stable, and it allows to switch between Shopify CLI versions.
Try switching to a previous shopify version 2.20 or 2.19 if you continue seeing issues. Again, this will need to be done with ruby, as homebrew does not allow any version backtracking.
Edit: make sure your login command looks like this:
shopify login --store=verizon.myshopify.com
You can paste this link from shopify admin, as it is the same link.
I am developing a public Shopify app.
Where should I store app custom settings? Does Shopify have some API to store custom settings?
In case I save settings in my custom database how can I load them in my embedded app?
Store your app settings in your database. The embedded app you're creating should handle authentication properly and your app should access the store settings and any other store data only when you're sure the app is loaded by the client that has the right to access this data.
Here are the links that might be useful:
Shopify App CLI
Authenticate with OAuth
Building embedded apps using session tokens

You should store your app settings in the store metafields.
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 to install some Apps in my unpublished theme (development theme) without impacting published (live) theme.
I have searched in google but couldn't find any solution. If anybody have done this type of task then please help me. Thanks in advance!
If the app provides an option for choosing a theme then yes you can, but otherwhise you can't.
Most APPs now install scripts that inject some content. Those scripts are tied directly to the live theme and if there is no option to choose a specific theme you can't change that functionality.
So you don't have a lot of options, if the APPs are not paid you can create a separate dev store where you can do your testing or styling and transfer the theme to the live store once you are done. But if the APPs are paid you will need to communicate with your client that there is a chance that the app may modify some of the current theme functionality and this may be visible on the live site.
The different apps are as follow:
Has an option for choosing a theme
Modify the theme files directly
Includes a script that will inject content and functionality to the front-end
Mash up of the above
Have in mind that all of the above indicates that these apps will modify the front-end in some way, there are APPs that extend the back-end and doesn't modify the front-end.
