Storefront API in a public App

[Cupel_Apps]

Hi All,

Is it true that using storefront api in public app is prohibited? I find no way to generate storefront access token using normal OAuth process.

Hi @Cupel_Apps 

No, this is not true. The app does need to be a sales channel, as described in the authentication process of the docs: https://shopify.dev/docs/storefront-api/getting-started#storefront-api-authentication

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

Hi @vix 

Thank you for the detailed explanation. But what if we want harness the power of storefront API in a public app which is not a sales channel?
