shopifyapp

ASP.NET MVC 4 C# Project - Basic template to build a Shopify App. It should give you a good idea on how to create/setup your own project. I will be adding other basic task.

Getting Started

Make sure your computer has git software and Visual Studio Community 2015 or better. Run this command

git clone https://github.com/cafeasp/shopifyapp.git

Open the project with Visual Studio and make sure you restore packages

Running a test

You have to join the Shopify Partner at https://app.shopify.com/services/partners/signup Once you have a account, create a app and get your app id and app secret info. This project is using a config file to keep the app settings outside of the project for security.

Create Config file

You can create this file anywhere in your computer.

For example: C:\myapp\app.config (make sure this file name and path is the same in your web.config)

web.config example:
<appSettings file="c:\MyAppSettings\app.config">
    <add key="webpages:Version" value="3.0.0.0" />
    <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false" />
    <add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
    <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
  </appSettings>

Your app.config - see below. You get app id / secret from shopify app page. You can use any domain you have available or use ngrok.com to allow your app to be available on the public domain. ngrok.com has a free and paid version.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<appSettings>
   <add key="AppId" value="your_app_id" />
   <add key="AppSecret" value="your_app_secret" />
   <add key="AppScope" value="read_orders,write_orders" />
   <add key="AppDomain" value="your_domain.com" />
   <add key="AppInstallControllerName" value="shopify" />
</appSettings>

What can it do (work in progress)

Authenticate with Shopify first
Send customer to Shopify intall page
Verify call is from Shopify
Request a Shopify token
Create a charge
Send customer to accept or decline charge
If 'accepted' activate charge
Send customer to your app
