I’m currently working with the Shopify Partner API for app management and data synchronization. I would like to know if Shopify provides any webhook support for the Partner API (similar to the webhooks available for the Admin API and Storefront API).
If webhooks are not available, what is the recommended way to stay updated on changes (e.g., app installs, app status, or related events) in the Partner API?
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
Hello @mdzahid-xgeniou
To answer your question directly, the Shopify Partner API does not have a traditional webhook system like the Admin API does.
However, you can still track key events in real-time. New app installations are signaled by the OAuth callback redirect to your app, which serves as your effective “install” event. For uninstalls, you must register the standard app/uninstalled Admin API webhook for each store after it’s installed.
For any data that lives purely within your Partner account such as your app’s review status, listing details, or financial information the only way to monitor for changes is to periodically poll the Partner API.
This is typically done with a scheduled script or cron job that queries the API on a regular basis to fetch the latest data and check for differences. In short, store-level events use the OAuth flow and Admin API webhooks, while partner-level data requires you to poll.
Hope this helps!
