Core issue: A merchant needs to replace part of the code in a custom app running in production. They didn’t build the app and ask if they can recover/clone it to edit and redeploy, and request any docs/steps.
Official clarification: Shopify does not host app code. There is no way to clone or retrieve an app’s code from Shopify.
Recommended actions: Contact the app’s original developer/host to request changes or obtain the code. If that’s not possible, the alternative is to build a new application.
Outcome/status: Clear, definitive guidance provided; no Shopify-based cloning path or documentation. Resolution requires external coordination or rebuilding the app.
Hi, I have a question for you, in a store in production there is 1 custom application in which I must replace a part of the code.
Taking into account that I have not made this application, is it possible to recover or make a clone of this application to later edit it and send it to production?
If you could tell me a link with documentation about it or tell me the steps to follow, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Hey @Dav347 ,
Shopify doesn’t host any app code so there isn’t a way to clone the code of an app. You’ll need to get in touch with the developer who hosts the application to request changes or a copy of the code from them.
If that isn’t possible, then it would require building a new application.
Hope that helps.
