Access to Shopify Rest API before installing app

[user072319]

Hi there, 

We have a Shopify live app. We want to add a feature to qualify the merchants before they install the app based on some criterias like order history (calculated through Order API).

Once the user clicks on "Add App" button in the app store listing page, they will be redirected to the page asking for scopes and permissions with "Install app" button. As soon as they click on "Install app" button, the app will be listed in their admin dashboard "Apps & Sales Channles" Settings.

We want to avoid our app being listed in their "Apps & Sales Channels", if they are disqualified. 

How can I do  qualify (basically get API access) the merchant even before they click on "Install App" button?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

It will be difficult to access the Shopify API without "Installing" the app. In this case, it is better to uninstall the app from the merchant's store if qualification not met.

You can refer to this Shopify guide on the API call to uninstall an app.
