I am building a tool that helps merchants create custom apps
I am stuck to a point where I cant find anything that can help me do following:
- Choose Distribution (Custom in my case)
- And then put merchants link and get install link
Help?
Topic summary
Developer building a tool for merchants wants to set a Shopify app’s distribution to “Custom” programmatically and then generate an install link for a specific merchant store. Custom distribution refers to apps intended for a single merchant rather than public App Store distribution.
They cannot find an API or documented method to:
- Select the app distribution type as Custom via code.
- Input a merchant’s store URL and obtain the corresponding install link.
No responses or solutions are provided yet; no code or attachments are included.
Status: Open/unanswered.
Key questions remain:
- Does Shopify offer an API or endpoint to programmatically set app distribution to Custom?
- What is the supported way to generate a merchant-specific install link from a store URL via API?
