Api

Topic summary

Integration feasibility: It’s possible to connect Shopify subscription apps to an AWS-hosted backend via APIs or webhooks. The backend should authenticate, fetch subscription plan/status, store it, and render user-specific app versions; the frontend communicates with the backend using user tokens. Security and thorough testing/error handling are emphasized.

Alternative via Shopify Flows: Shopify’s native automation (Flows) can add customer/order tags based on triggers (e.g., product added, order placed) and conditions. This reduces reliance on third‑party app APIs but may not cover very complex workflows.

Setup steps for Flows: Access Flows in Shopify admin, create a flow, define triggers and conditions, add “Add a tag” action, then enable. Test to ensure tags apply correctly.

Documentation resources: Shopify API docs are at developers.shopify.com under “APIs.” Choose the appropriate API version; docs cover authentication, resources/endpoints, webhooks, guides/tutorials, API Explorer, and community support.

Status: Latest question asks whether Angular and TypeScript are suitable and which languages work best with Shopify. No response yet; discussion remains open.

okay, thanks for the details. Last question please, where we can find info about the native Shopify API? Documentation and other details we need to set up it correctly?
