Disable App Blocks when user stops the subscription

Hi,

I am creating a Shopify App that contains an extension for Online Store. So users who will install my app, will have access to a Block/Section that they will be able to use throughout their website.

As i plan to make it Subscription Based, is it any way that i can disable that Block/Section in users website as soon as they stop the subscription?

Hey @ertanb

Checking with the extensions team - will report back.

Hi @SBD ,

Great! Thank you for your answer! I think that should make it work. :slightly_smiling_face:

I suppose this is the link on how to add a metafield for an app? https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/custom-data/metafields/app-data

Hi @SBD

using “available_if” attribute, which is working only in theme app extension. How can I execute this in my checkout ui extensions.

Example: I want to enable my custom checkout field extensions(checkbox, textfield, select option components) only to my active subscribed users. Please explain how to do that.? I have stored my subscription status in one metafield, how can I use it to enable or disable my checkout ui extensions in theme editor.

Same issue here, any solution about that?

Hi @raphaellima

Only Theme Extension, we can use "“available_if” attribute to hide the extension from the theme customizer, For all other type of extensions we can only customize/Hide the functionality according to the subscription status, We cannot hide the extension from the theme customizer for now.
