App Proxy Sub Path Prefix Question

Retired Boards Appdev Store Design

How does one configure their app proxy to show up on the homepage and product pages of a merchant store as a DOM element (such as a div or image) (instead of as a complete store page)? The available app sub path prefixes are [“apps”, “a”, “community”, “tools”] and my app proxy appears as a complete store (with my included liquid template) when I go to the sub path prefix + sub path, but no where else. Does this indicate a problem on my side? I guess I really don’t see the usefulness of apps that only show up at these 4 paths. If they are limited to these 4 paths, then how does a merchant include an app onto their store? Do they have to manually add a link somewhere that goes to the subpath?

Thanks for any help/insight.

Hey Scott,

At this time the app proxy pages are constrained to the prefixed paths you specified as determined in the app’s dashboard. Under no official/supported capacity to we allow for pulling it into other pages such as the home page.

I’m not sure I understand the question you’re asking with regard to how a merchant would include a link. They can do so either in the RTE for the resources in question, their theme code, or the online store’s navigation editor.

The usefulness of this is subjective entirely to what you’re building and whether it can make use of it, such as for product customization or custom checkouts/payment processing.

Cheers.
