Embedded Apps are the future of Shopify Apps Our new Embedded App Software Development Kit allows you to improve your app’s user experience by embedding it directly inside the Shopify admin. The SDK enables simple and powerful communication between your app and Shopify. Access and customize many …

@MrPunkin : You bet! The EASDK can be used with public or private apps. @Jim : We’re not currently providing a CSS framework for embedded apps at this time. The admin design is currently in flux which doesn’t allow us to provide and maintain a separate stylesheet that represents a stable design. Howe…

Thanks for the quick reply! Maybe I’ll put something together out on github once I complete it.

@Christopher : How do we go about gaining access to our app inside the iframe when it is a private app? My experience leads me to believe private apps don’t show up as “installed” in the apps page, and thus have nowhere to click to load the app’s iframe content. That, along with seemingly no way to s…

@MrPunkin : You’re correct. True private applications do not use OAuth and do not get listed in the Shopify admin, however you can create an App in your partners area, never publish it to the App store and only allow it to be installed on whichever shops you please.

Hi, I’m gonna to create new Embedded App for Shopify. Can I make it look like any other shopify’s admin page?

@Max Popoff: You can make it look however you please. The design of the app is completely up to you. I would suggest taking some inspiration from our current admin design, but each app is very different – one design style won’t always work for everything.

@max , absolutely! Its just a matter of CSS. You can find out what styles Shopify uses by inspecting the other pages of a shop’s admin area and then implementing them in your apps stylesheets. I’ve done this myself but won’t be submitting my new apps until the end of the week otherwise I’d list an ex…

@Jim Sidler: Be cautious if you’re referencing the Shopify stylesheet directly. I would not recommend that approach as there is no guarantees that the stylesheet will continue to support the markup you have written. Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, the admin design is always changing.
