This gem builds Rails applications that can be embedded in the Shopify Admin.

This gem includes a Rails engine, generators, modules, and mixins that help create Rails applications that work with Shopify APIs. The Shopify App Rails engine provides all the code required to implement OAuth with Shopify. The default Shopify App generator builds an app that can be embedded in the Shopify Admin and secures it with session tokens.
To become a Shopify app developer, you will need a Shopify Partners account. Explore the Shopify dev docs to learn more about building Shopify apps.
This gem requires that you have the following credentials:
Note
This package works best with the Shopify CLI. Learn more at https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/build/cli-for-apps
To get started with a Rails app already connected to the Shopify CLI, run shopify app init --template=ruby
for a complete setup app. (Recommended) Follow the instructions below to use this gem with a new or existing Rails app.
For a more detailed guide on how to set up Shopify CLI, see the Shopify CLI documentation.
To use your Rails app with Shopify CLI, you'll need to create the required configuration files and set up your project structure:
package.json
file in your app's root directory:{ "name": "my-shopify-app", "version": "1.0.0", "description": "Shopify app built with Rails", "scripts": {}, "dependencies": {}, "engines": { "node": ">=18.0.0" } }
This is required for the Shopify CLI to work. It will be used if you add extension like Checkout UI extensions to your app.
shopify.app.toml
configuration file in your app's root:# Learn more about configuring your app at https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/cli/configuration client_id = "" name = "My Shopify App" handle = "my-shopify-app" application_url = "https://localhost:3000" embedded = true [access_scopes] # Learn more at https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/tools/cli/configuration#access_scopes scopes = "write_products" [auth] redirect_urls = [ "https://localhost:3000/api/auth", "https://localhost:3000/api/auth/callback", "https://localhost:3000/auth/callback", "https://localhost:3000/auth/shopify/callback" ] [webhooks] api_version = "2024-10" [[webhooks.subscriptions]] topics = ["app/uninstalled"] uri = "/api/webhooks" [pos] embedded = false [build] automatically_update_urls_on_dev = true dev_store_url = "YOUR-DEV-STORE.myshopify.com"

With the Shopify CLI you can use localhost development to run your app.

This app implements OAuth 2.0 Token Exchange with Shopify to authenticate requests made to Shopify APIs. By default, this app is configured to use session tokens to authenticate merchants when embedded in the Shopify Admin.
See Generators for a complete list of generators available to Shopify App.
You can find documentation on gem usage, concepts, mixins, installation, and more in /docs
.
Mounting the Shopify App Rails Engine provides the following routes. These routes are configured to help install your application on shops and implement OAuth.
Verb Route ActionGET
/login
Login POST
/login
Login GET
/auth/shopify/callback
OAuth redirect URI GET
/logout
Logout POST
/webhooks/:type
Webhook callback
These routes are configurable. See the more detailed Engine documentation to learn how you can customize the login URL or mount the Shopify App Rails engine at nested routes.
To learn more about how this gem authenticates with Shopify, see Authentication.
New embedded app authorization strategy (Token Exchange)We've introduced a new installation and authorization strategy for embedded apps that eliminates the redirects that were previously necessary. It replaces the existing installation and authorization code grant flow.
This is achieved by using Shopify managed installation to handle automatic app installations and scope updates, while utilizing token exchange to retrieve an access token for authenticated API access.
Enabling this new strategy in your appNote
Ensure you don't have use_legacy_install_flow = true
in your shopify.app.toml
configuration file. If use_legacy_install_flow
is true, Shopify will not manage the installation process for your app. You should remove the use_legacy_install_flow
line from your shopify.app.toml
configuration file or set it to false
.
# config/initializers/shopify_app.rb ShopifyApp.configure do |config| #..... config.embedded_app = true config.new_embedded_auth_strategy = true # If your app is configured to use online sessions, you can enable session expiry date check so a new access token # is fetched automatically when the session expires. # See expiry date check docs: https://github.com/Shopify/shopify_app/blob/main/docs/shopify_app/sessions.md#expiry-date config.check_session_expiry_date = true ... end
embedded_app
layout is correct. If your app has any controller which includes ShopifyApp::EnsureInstalled
, they will now also include the ShopifyApp::EmbeddedApp
concern, which sets layout 'embedded_app'
for the current controller by default. In cases where the controller originally looked for another layout file, this can cause unexpected behavior. See EmbeddedApp
concern's documentation for more information on the effects of this concern and how to disable the layout change if needed.Shopify's API is versioned. With Shopify App v1.11.0
, the included Shopify API gem allows developers to specify and update the Shopify API version they want their app or service to use. The Shopify API gem also surfaces warnings to Rails apps about deprecated endpoints, GraphQL fields and more.
See the Shopify API gem README for more information.
