Billing API Error on Test Shop

[Francesco8]

Hi all,

I'm trying to call my shops billing API to setup a test application charge.

But i'm getting the following error:

"It appears that this application is currently owned by a Shop. It must be migrated to the Shopify partners area before it can create charges with the API.".

I'm using a "developer/test shop" created on my "Shopify Partners profile". If it is this the problem, how can I test my App that isn't published?

Thanks in advance.

It seems like you might have created a custom (or private) app instead of a public app, could you verify that?

Hi,

I solved the error, the issue was that I was using a "api key" of a privare app, instead the an "api key" generated when the shop installs the app.

Thanks,

Francesco.

Where can I find this API key?

Hi @OH_Solutions,

The Billing API is only available for app's installed via the Shopify App store, either listed or unlisted app, and thus must be created via the Partner Dashboard. You can retrieve the API Key and credentials for Partner Apps from your Partner Dashboard as well. Here is a Shopify.dev article with more information and direct instructions on how to retrieve, revoke, and refresh your API credentials from the Partner Dashboard.
 

• About client secrets
• Rotate or revoke client credentials

More info about the Billing API in general can be found here:

• About billing for your app

I hope this helps, and I hope you have a great day 🙂
