Check active subscription in app theme extension

Shopify Apps
1

Hello,

I am trying to check if the store has a certain active subscription in order to display or not display the app theme extension. I could not figure out how to do this from the docs, it says something about the metafields but not necessarily how to use them or set it up. Billing api work great inside the admin panel but couldn’t find a similar option for the app theme extension.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @esburchd

Once you can make an external API call, utilize it to verify the status of a subscription. Pass the shop_name parameter in the API call, check its existence in your database, and then verify if the subscription is active.

Hello @esburchd

I prefer that you add all entries to your subscription table in the database. This way, you can manage and track all records easily.
Alternatively, you can use the billing API.

Hello @esburchd

When you call the API from the frontend, you need to provide the shop name. In the backend, we’ll use this shop name to check our database for corresponding merchant information. Once found, we’ll then verify in our subscription table whether the subscription is active or not.
