Select store on OAuth to install Shopify public app

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Main issue: Implementing OAuth for a Shopify public app without pre-entering a specific store URL. The requester wants users to be redirected to Shopify, log in, and then choose from any stores they have access to.

Key details:

  • Current obstacle: The Shopify Admin API connection typically requires a “store URL” (the shop’s domain) to initiate the OAuth flow.
  • Desired flow: Start with a generic OAuth redirect, authenticate the user, then present a store selection step before proceeding with app installation.

Terms:

  • OAuth: A standard authorization protocol enabling users to grant app access without sharing credentials.
  • Admin API: Shopify’s API for managing store data and app integrations, often tied to a specific shop domain.

Status/outcome: This is a help request with no provided solution yet. The question remains open and unresolved.

I want to install shopify public app to a shopify store through performing OAuth.
The Admin Api requires ‘store url’ in order to connect. What I need is to just redirect to OAuth and there I would log in to account, after that it should ask me to select any of the available store.

Need help to complete this requirement.
