Developers are seeking guidance on deploying Shopify apps built with Remix to Netlify. The original poster has a Pro Netlify account and wants to leverage existing infrastructure but struggled to connect deployment instructions from both Shopify and Netlify documentation.
Current Status:
Multiple developers experiencing similar deployment challenges
Netlify support has directed users to their official Remix framework documentation
No confirmed successful deployment solution shared yet
Partial Solution:
One contributor successfully deployed Hydrogen (Shopify’s React framework) projects to Netlify and published a deployment guide. However, they note a limitation: the setup only runs the built app, not development mode locally, which hampers the development workflow. They’re actively investigating a proper development mode solution and plan to update their documentation once resolved.
The discussion remains open with developers hoping to adapt existing solutions without rebuilding their apps from scratch.

Greetings, we got a requirement from the client to make an app for them on Shopify. We picked up the Remix and enjoyed the developer experience. We’re almost finished and we need to deploy the App. Since we already have a Pro Netlify account and a couple of projects there, we would like to deploy to Netlify this app that we’re building. I followed and tried to “connect the dots” from Shopify Deployment page and also Netlify on how to deploy the Remix web app, but unfortunately didn’t make it work. If by any chance one of you guys already did this, would you mind sharing the steps?
I was able to deploy Hydrogen projects using Netlify; however, I’m currently facing an issue running it in development mode locally and fully taking advantage of the runtime. At the moment, I’m only able to run the built app, which is not ideal for development.
