Hello there,

I am trying to add a script tag in the Shopify store but I can’t find any document on it.

I just wanted to add a “.js” javascript file and inside this file, I want to fetch the information of the products.

Is this doable on local files?

I followed this template to create an app.

Hi buddy, it seems you need app extension , in app extension you can include .js file in blocks liquid file schema section. For get product info, you can setup the app proxy , then you can make http request start from the extension js file to get it.

Happy hunting.

In my previous reply already includes some useful resources :slightly_smiling_face:

Anyway, the Shopify App dev docs include all you needs.

Good luck.
