Hi, We are trying to build a web product that is deeply integrated with Shopify as an e-commerce backend. For that purpose, we have a shop with a private app. Now, we are trying to integrate our existing Stripe flow into this shop. But, I am reading conflicting documentation around how that can be …

Or perhaps I should be just using checkoutCompleteWithTokenizedPaymentV3 with type VAULT or SHOPIFY_PAY (not sure which one) and pass in any relevant Stripe info I want to store regarding the transaction via paymentData JSON? I feel like there should be an EXTERNAL CUSTOM type here if I am understan…

Hi @cansin Apologies for the confusion. The Storefront API docs are going to be updated to reflect the scenario you are facing. A sales channel is built generally as a 1:many relationship and would be a public app as you’ve mentioned. For a single store web checkout the process is different. The we…

@vix thank you for your reply. So are you suggesting it is not possible one to implement its own checkout experience?

Hey @cansin Correct, for web experiences the web checkout is the only way to complete a checkout. With the Storefront API you can prefill this information so that only the payment step is required for your customer.

Hmm, but when I look at checkoutCompleteWithTokenizedPaymentV3, I do see two payment types that are not mobile-specific: “VAULT” and “SHOPIFY_PAY”. That implies we should be able to use this Storefront API mutation in order to implement a custom checkout page and send the relevant data to Shopify, i…

Also, I am still not sure what this means if it is not possible to create a custom checkout experience: https://shopify.dev/tutorials/authenticate-a-public-app-with-oauth#request-payment-processing . This documentation makes it sound like I should be able to integrate with Stripe. I have a private a…

Following on that first link, this documentation https://shopify.dev/tutorials/complete-a-sales-channel-payment-with-checkout-api#integrate-stripe-with-your-sales-channel suggests I should be able to integrate Stripe with Shopify. Can you please advice further? I think there is a disconnect somewher…

I have tried what you’ve been doing before. Handle payment in Stripe, and then mark the checkout as paid using storefront API. Shopify has actively worked against me trying to do this. There is this weird requirement that your app must be a public sales-channel that acts as a marketplace for multip…

Hi everyone - Yes it is correct that we have mutations and information on how to complete the checkout through the API - however this is reserved for Sales Channels (public apps) as noted above. If you are creating a headless website for personal use / private app, this does not qualify as a sales …

Hi @vix , Thanks a lot for confirming. Can you talk more about the Mobile Buy SDKs? Are private apps able to rely on these? Or do we still need to be a public sales channel? As a side question, what are the requirements to become a public sales channel? Can we simply create a public sales channel …
