Sample Django App

A demo app created using Django and ShopifyAPI v8.4+.

Quick start

To run this app locally, you can clone the repository and do the following.

  1. Create a .env file to specify this app's API key and API secret key app credentials that can be found in the Shopify Partners dashboard.
SHOPIFY_API_KEY=<The API key app credential specified in the Shopify Partners dashboard>
SHOPIFY_API_SECRET=<The API secret key app credential specified in the Shopify Partners dashboard>
APP_URL=<The public app URL specified in the Shopify Partners dashboard>
SCOPES=<Scopes needed for the app>

Note: It's recommended to follow along the tutorial Build a Shopify App with Node and React to understand how to retrieve the API key and API secret key app credentials.

  1. Run the following to install the required dependencies:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Change directories to the main sample_django_app app and run all pending migrations:
$ cd sample_django_app
$ python manage.py migrate
  1. Ensure ngrok is running on port 8000:
$ ngrok http 8000
  1. In a new terminal, run the server:
$ python manage.py runserver
  1. Create an APP_URL environment variable based on the URL ngrok gives you. This is used in the CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS and ALLOWED_HOSTS section of settings.py. Do not include a schema (http:// or https://) in this variable.
export APP_URL=<ngrok-url.ngrok.io>
  1. From the Partner dashboard, update the "App URL" and "Allowed redirection URL(s)" to include the callback URL:
<https://ngrok-url.ngrok.io>/auth/shopify/callback
  1. In your browser, open the https ngrok url to install and open this app on a shop. Requests to authenticated resources like the products view in the api app should now be secured with an Authorization: Bearer <session token> header.
