I want to implement app progress functionality on my app dashboard.
Where user will be able to see these things:
Is there any api to get these details from shopify themes settings.
Topic summary
A developer wants to implement an app progress tracker on their Shopify app dashboard. The feature would display user progress through setup steps, similar to a checklist interface shown in an attached screenshot.
Key Question:
- Whether Shopify provides an API to retrieve progress details from theme settings
Proposed Solution:
Another developer shared their implementation approach:
- Built a custom progress tracking system instead of using Shopify theme settings
- Updates progress status via API calls to a database when users complete steps (e.g., clicking Step 1 triggers a completion marker)
- Suggested alternative: Store progress data in cookies to avoid database dependencies
Status: The discussion remains open, with the original poster yet to respond to the suggested custom implementation approach.
Hello @hassanrazabigfo
I’ve implemented a similar feature in another app. Instead of relying on Shopify theme settings, I designed a custom progress tracking system. When the app loads and the user clicks on Step 1, I call an API to update the progress status in the database (e.g., marking Step 1 as completed).
Alternatively, you can store progress data in cookies to track user activity without a database update. Let me know if you need more details on implementation!
