Add a website link in Shopify POS UI Extension

Add a website link in Shopify POS UI Extension

Hi!

 

Use case:  Have a tile in the Shopify POS app that links to an external website.  Clicking it would open a browser and load the website for further configuration, etc.

 

I'm using the latest POS UI Extensions and have created a Typescript extension from the CLI.  Don't see a way to trigger a browser open from the api (of course, 

window.open("https://somewebsite/", '_blank');

doesn't work).

 

Appreciate any guidance.

Thank you!

Hi Vivfbuy,

 

We intentionally do not support that right now. The goal of POS UI Extensions is to keep the experience completely native, as we strongly believe that this is the best experience for our merchants.
