Hey @nickblue
Try running npm run deploy
Topic summary
The discussion addresses deploying an extension-only Shopify app to run as a custom app on a single store.
Key Steps Identified:
- Run
npm run deployto deploy the extension - Access the Partner Dashboard and navigate to the app
- Under Distribution, create a custom app install link for the specific store or organization
- Install the app on the target store using this link
- In store settings under Checkout, click “Customize Checkout”
- Under the app embed section in the customizer, ensure the custom app is selected and present within checkout
Important Consideration:
If the app includes a Remix template for the admin portal, it won’t be hosted by Shopify (since admin renders in an iFrame requiring external hosting). Extension-only apps without templates can be fully Shopify-hosted.
The original poster confirmed the official documentation didn’t clearly explain the deployment process, prompting community members to share their hands-on experience with the workflow.
