Develop a Shopify plugin similar to Cartpanda

Develop a Shopify plugin similar to Cartpanda

I'm a developer and I'm looking to create a plugin or application for Shopify with the following functionality: by providing the access token to the given store (along with the API key), users will automatically be directed to a personalized checkout whenever they click the "" button BUY" from this store. Instead of being redirected to the standard Shopify checkout, they will be sent to a custom checkout. The concept I want to implement is quite similar to Cartpanda, for example.

My question is this: where can I find information in the Shopify documentation on how to perform these automatic redirects to my personalized checkout, similar to what Cartpanda does? I would like you to point out the specific topics in the documentation and, if possible, provide guidance on how to build this solution, considering the technology you provide.

Well, if you have never bought a plugin, I highly recommend starting here ( https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/getting-started/build-qr-code-app?framework=remix ) no matter what type of plugin you are creating. This will guide you through an important process of using Shopify CLI 3 to help start your app. This will also create some default pages in your app so you can see how the app works and become accustomed to the Shopify platform.

Here are a few links for you:

  1. Checkout API: Explore how to create and manage checkouts. See Checkout API documentation.

  2. Sales Channel SDK: Learn how to build a sales channel that can handle custom checkouts. Check the Sales Channel SDK documentation and Getting started with a sales channel app

  3. OAuth Authentication: Since your app requires an access token, understanding Shopify’s OAuth process is crucial. Read about it in the OAuth documentation. (If you decide to go another route besides remix, I do suggest using remix/Shopify cli 3)
