Hi I have shopify store. When I click on profile I would like to navigate to an external application that I have built using react. My question is how do I know whether the customer is logged in or not? How do I handle this in my external application.
Topic summary
Authentication handoff between a Shopify store and an external React app. The store’s Profile link should navigate to an external application, and the author wants to detect whether the customer is already logged in. They seek guidance on how the external app can determine the customer’s authenticated state and handle it appropriately. No implementation details, methods, or constraints are provided (e.g., tokens, sessions, redirects). No replies or solutions are offered in the thread. Status: open question with no resolution; key need is a way to verify login status and manage authentication when moving from Shopify to the external app.
