I have developed two Stencil themes following the BigCommerce online docs.
As of to date: how does one go about installing a theme developed against Stencil on BigCommerce?
After filling out the upload request form (as instructed) and bouncing around with their tech support all night and morning -- who insisted on pointing me to docs on how to use a customizer.
I am being told installation of custom Stencil themes is not possible (?) until June.
Please tell me this is just a misinformed rep.
This is a pending feature, as you were told. Currently, custom theme uploads have to be done manually by a member of the BigCommerce staff. The upload request form goes to the team that has the ability to do so, but is actively limited by bandwidth since it is uncommon for a developer to need only a single upload.
Some information about this is listed under our new and pending features page.

We have a request from our business to create a custom application capable of extracting CMS content out of one SAP Commerce environment and loading it up into another SAP Commerce environment. The idea is that our content admins could "transport" a new page from QA to production without having to manually recreate it. Also, such a tool could be used in "refreshing" certain parts of one environment with the content of another.
I believe that we could write such a tool ourselves, and I found one other stackoverflow post mentioning a technique to do this:
Can SAP commerce cloud (Hybris) export content?
We could create an OCC endpoint for both retrieving cms content and putting cms content.
My question to you all is does there exist a third party application that could do this for us already? It would be beneficial to our organization if we could purchase a solution that did this for us rather than writing and maintaining the app ourselves.
SAP just released an extension for db sync, check here.
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.
Hi I'am trying to test a post purchase extension.
I tried the following steps:
registered my post purchase extension with the code provided
Served the extension using shopify extension serve
Installed the local app extension to firefox
Updated the firefox extension with the ngrok url
Tried to checkout from my development store
-No redirect occurs to the extension and nothing in logs, checkout goes directly to thank you page
if someone experienced could make a basic guide over this topic, that wold be awesome :)
I ran into a similar problem.
For dev stores, the store needs to have checkout extensions preview enabled. You can enable it during store setup in the partners panel. During set up you will be asked what extra features you need.
You need to enable checkout extensions in your main app settings in the partners panel
You need to enable preview mode in extension panel in partners panel. (if your extension is not on the list, remember to build and deploy it)
For checkout UI extension there is an extra step:
go to Online Store -> Themes -> Customize -> Find checkout page -> in customizer click link in the "Optimize your checkout with apps, fonts, colors, and more. Customize checkout" text (IMPORTANT: this will work only on new dev stores or the stores that have checkout UI feature enabled during setup; it's hard to tell exactly) -> scroll to the bottom and add your app.
I highly recommend going through Shopify documentation and tutorials slowly step by step :)
I wasted too much time on this detail.
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 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.
