Create a contextual button inside Settings -> Policies

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Request to add a contextual action in Shopify Admin: a button in Settings → Policies labeled “Create with X” (app name) that opens a new tab to run a custom policy-creation workflow, then returns users to see the generated policy populated in Shopify.

Technical angle: The author explored Shopify’s Admin UI Extension Points (interfaces to extend Admin pages) but couldn’t find an extension point specifically for the Policies settings screen to place such a button. They ask whether this is possible and how to implement it.

Artifacts: A screenshot highlights the exact intended location of the button, which is central to understanding the request.

Status: No solutions or confirmations provided yet; the feasibility and correct extension point remain unanswered and the discussion is open.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently building a Shopify App and I was wondering if the following is possible:

I’d like to create a button inside Settings → Policies that says “Create with X”, where X is the name of my app. Upon clicking, I’d like to open a new tab and show the users a workflow that will allow them to create a custom made policy with my app. Once finished, the user would be able to return to the settings page and see the generated policy.

This is the place I’d like to add the button:

Is that even possible? I saw Shopify has a thing called Admin UI Extension Points, but I couldn’t find the exact point I’m looking.

I’d appreciate any help on this! Thanks in advance :slightly_smiling_face:
