Have you looked at using the session API? There's a property on the current session that is locationId

Yes, for now I'm using the locationId associated with the location name in my backend, but it would be nice to retrieve the location name directly from the extension

Hi Brainxtech123,

 

You may need to use Shopify's Admin API to retrieve store information. The Shopify Admin API allows you to access a variety of data, including shop and location information. You can use the Shop object to get details about the shop, including its name. The Location object provides information about the retailer's various locations.

 

Hope this helps!
