How to test webhooks in custom non-embedded app?

English Shopify Shopify Apps
1

Hello everyone,

I’m developing a custom app (using the Remix template) for one of our clients that needs to listen to the ORDERS/CREATE webhook via Google Pub/Sub.

I have a few questions I was hoping I could get some clarification on:

Since this is a custom app, my understanding is that I cannot use Shopify CLI to scaffold the Remix template. Instead I have cloned the shopify-app-template-remix repo to my machine and have followed the non-embedded configuration steps to configure my app.

Q: Is this the correct approach to take when developing a non-embedded app?

Q: Since this app does not use Shopify CLI, how can I verify that Shopify is actually sending these webhooks? How can I verify that I have subscribed to these webhooks correctly? (I’m not sure if they are showing up in Google Pub/Sub).

Q: Since I’m not using Shopify CLI, I can’t run the shopify app webhook trigger command. Is there an alternative method I can use to simulate test events on my shop?

Would really appreciate any clarification you can offer here, thanks!

In order to get the query of complex Questions or related to Shopify app development I highly recomended to post this question to shopify.dev forum.
Am sure Shopify staffs that have experience with the app development which reply you in a while.
I think community you cannot hope for exact solution.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks for the heads up! I didn’t realize there was a separate dev specific forum. Unfortunately it looks like I don’t have permissions to post in that forum yet, so if anyone has any answers in the meantime - I’d appreciate the help!
