Is there any way to test your app or plugin before submitting for approval?
Or is there any sandbox for BigCommerce to test the apps prior?
How were the developers of the apps that are presently in the BigCommerce store able to test during the development phase?
You can test your app in a free trial store.
You can do this by:
Setting up a developer account
Logging in to the Apps section
Adding a draft app
Logging in to any Bigcommerce store (preferably a trial store) where you are an admin
Go to Apps then My Drafts
Install your app & test away
See https://developer.bigcommerce.com for more info.
To test your app on local, use ngrok.io to create a https url that tunnels to your localhost

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.
We have our application live on production. Is using an Facebook App ID for Business and is currently in use.
Before deploying updates to production we first test them on staging which uses a Facebook Test App cloned from the main App.
Right now we implemented a new functionality on staging which uses some new permissions. We tested it and is ready for deploy but first we need those permissions approved on production so our users can use it.
I can't see any App Review button on the Test App inside the App Dashboard on Facebook Dev. The solution would be to ask for those permissions on production but we haven't deployed there yet because the app is currently in use and the new funtionality will not work without those permissions from the start.
Any idea of what we can do to get those permissions approved on production?
We develop our first app and use Shopify gem. It works fine and all functionality (including installation flow) is working well.
We've sent the app for a review and received an answer with following comment from their QA:
After installing the app from the Shopify App store, the app is redirecting to the website where the app is hosted. When accessing the app from a shop's app dashboard, the app is redirecting to the embedded version. This occurs when an initial OAuth request redirect fails to escape the iframe. Please refer to our embedded app OAuth documentation (https://help.shopify.com/en/api/embedded-apps/embedded-app-sdk/oauth) for further information.
Has anybody faced with this problem?
Shopify QA doesn't answer our e-mails and we couldn't find any useful requirements or information on shopify forums.
I have an iOS app which I am about to release on the App store. I want to test In-App purchases in production environment. How I can test In-App purchases for production app which has not been released yet?
The answer is 'NO'.
For app that has not been release on App Store, you can test your IAP items in sandbox environment ONLY.
Go to itunesConnect , Users and Roles, Create a sandbox user .
I am thinking you have already made the in app purchase items in your app in itunes connect.
Now in your device log out the Appstore ID from settings.
Do the in app purchase using the Test user credentials you created, and it will make the in app using a sandbox environment.

Can we install shopify on localhost for development ?
like: we download opencart and can install on localhost for development.
IS there any way for shopify ?
No, you can't download "anything" from Shopify core like you would do with OpenCart. Shopify is a fully hosted SAAS solution.
Yes. Sign up as a partner. You can then create as many test shops as you wish. A test shop is fully enabled with all the possibilities of Shopify. You can test out front-end code. You can write and install Apps for backend manipulations. And you can run all your Apps on localhost, connecting to your shop. As well, your theme can be localhost too with a file watcher keeping you sync'd to your dev shop.
You can use Shopify Theme Kit to download your app to a local work station and perform live updates from your local station
