Sorry, if this is a dumb question. I am new to shopify development, I have created apps with remix, and I wanted to know is there any way to create apps with a python backend, react frontend setup. If yes what are the steps involved. With remix, I could scaffold an app with the shopify cli with auth and webhooks already setup, is there any equivalent for python or would I have to do all this setup manually?
Topic summary
A developer new to Shopify app development is exploring whether they can build apps using a Python backend with a React frontend, similar to how the Shopify CLI scaffolds Remix apps with built-in authentication and webhooks.
Key Question:
- Is there an equivalent scaffolding tool or CLI for Python-based Shopify apps, or does all setup need to be done manually?
Current Status:
- The original poster ultimately chose Next.js instead of Python
- They suggested checking GitHub for Python templates, specifically mentioning a Flask example (https://github.com/garettB/shopify-flask-example)
- Another user expressed interest in the same question but received no additional solutions
Resolution: The discussion remains largely unresolved for Python-specific tooling, with the workaround being manual setup using community templates rather than official CLI support.

Hey, did you find the answer? I am wondering the same thing…
Hey, I decided to go with Nextjs, but you can find several templates with python on Github which you could try, like GitHub - garettB/shopify-flask-example: A simple Shopify app created using Flask and Python.
