How can I launch my custom React storefront app for my store?

Shopify Apps

I’ve created React storefront app and it’s stated as “installed” in the apps section.
But when I press preview of my store it shows a standard template constructor but not my app.
How I can launch my custom app for my store?

Hi @alexdermenji ,

You only need to install the app in Shopify admin. If you want to inject some liquid and JS code into your theme, you can use theme app extension.

Refer to this Getting started with theme app extensions documentation to start building theme app extensions.

Also, Can you tell me what feature you want to build so that I can help you more?

Hi @HappyPoints Thanks for your advise, I am not sure If explained correct what I did

  1. Created Partner Account
  2. Created Development store
  3. Created basic Hydrogen App in this store
  4. Changed some design and functionality
  5. Installed it in admin panel
  6. Insert in config file Access Storefront token and Shopify URL (It’s connected and receiving all data now)
  7. Currently I’d like that my store will be using this app as frontpage when I open “myadress.myshopify.com”

Hi @alexdermenji ,

Please tell me what kind of feature you want to build so that I can help you more?

Hydrogen is built to use data coming from Shopify’s Storefront API so that it cannot change your theme as you want.

@HappyPoints I’d like use for my own store custom design, built by myself, using Hydrogen or React app as frontend and admin panel from Shopify as backend.

I already fetching all products using graphQl. All works fine on local server.

At the moment I am Trying to understand the process if it’s possible to change default theme for my app
