Data & Databases curated

shopify-payments-apps

The Payments Apps API enables payment providers to integrate their payment solutions with Shopify's checkout.

shopify-polaris-admin-extensions

Add custom actions and blocks from your app at contextually relevant spots throughout the Shopify Admin, including **App Home UI extensions** — the Shopify-hosted `admin.app.home.render` target (API version `2026-07` or later) that renders your app's landing page instead of an iframe. Covers the Intents API (`shopify.intents.invoke`) for launching native workflows from an extension. Admin UI Extensions also supports scaffolding new admin extensions using Shopify CLI commands.

shopify-polaris-app-home

Build your app's primary user interface embedded in the Shopify admin using the **iframe** model — a web app you host yourself, rendered with `@shopify/polaris-types` and App Bridge. Covers the Intents API (`shopify.intents.invoke`) for launching native workflows from App Home. For the Shopify-hosted `admin.app.home.render` extension target, use **`polaris-admin-extensions`** instead. If the prompt just mentions `Polaris` and you can't tell based off of the context what API they meant, assume they meant this API.

shopify-polaris-checkout-extensions

Build custom functionality that merchants can install at defined points in the checkout flow, including product information, shipping, payment, order summary, and Shop Pay. Checkout UI Extensions also supports scaffolding new checkout extensions using Shopify CLI commands. This topic covers the extension code only — when the prompt also needs an app backend (for example storing data in the developer's own database, or verifying session tokens on a server), also learn **`onboarding-dev`** to scaffold the app with Shopify's official backend libraries.

shopify-polaris-customer-account-extensions

Build custom functionality that merchants can install at defined points on the Order index, Order status, and Profile pages in customer accounts. Customer Account UI Extensions also supports scaffolding new customer account extensions using Shopify CLI commands.

shopify-use-shopify-cli

Choose when the user needs **Shopify CLI** to run or fix something now: validate app or extension config on disk (`shopify.app.toml`, `shopify.app.<name>.toml`, `shopify.extension.toml`); review or audit an app's code for security vulnerabilities; run or troubleshoot store workflows (`shopify store auth`, `shopify store execute`); or perform explicit store-scoped reads/writes on a named store domain (for example, show/list/find the first 10 products on my store at `foo.myshopify.com`, or inventory and product changes by handle, SKU, or location name). Emphasize **commands and operational steps**, not only authoring GraphQL. Skip for API-only understanding or codegen with no CLI execution, and skip for brand-new merchant asks to start a Shopify store or try Shopify before they have an account. Examples: validate configuration before deploy; run an existing query via CLI; show the first 10 products on `foo.myshopify.com`; missing `shopify store execute`.
