Ah I see what you are talking about. You can create a custom collection and set it's sorting but I don't believe we expose that information for whatever reason.
I can look around but I don't think this information is stored directly on the product/variant.
Perfect, thanks for the reply Chris.
Suppose I have multiple shops under one account and I want to display all my shops in my application. So, is there any way by which I can get all my shops from one API?
Hi all,
I have built my first shopify app. I am using App proxy to show data.
I get 503 ERROR 'Down for Maintenance'. But sometimes the page shows up.
Here is the url. If you open it will show
http://iresponsify.myshopify.com/apps/iwish
What must be wrong. any ideas? My App is built using PHP.
thanks for your time!
I have had another stab at this issue. This issue I faced is that when I created a product without defining a Variant, an empty variant with no SKU or price was created. When I wanted to create a new Variant where a Variant title is not needed, it failed because of the empty Variant.
I have changed my code to the following:
array(
'product' => array(
'title' => $title,
'body_html' => $bodyHtml,
'vendor' => $data['vendor'],
'product_type' => $data['type'],
'tags' => implode(', ', $data['tag']),
'published' => false,
),
'variants' => array(
0 => array(
'option1' => (empty($variantTitle) ? 'Default' : $variantTitle),
'price' => $variantPrice,
'sku' => $data['sku']
),
);
This, more or less works. I say more or less because when I search for the SKU, in this case 40447, the product appears in the search results however the Variant list shows one Variant which is empty.
How can the search work on the SKU where it seems the SKU has not been saved?
My API-created webhooks appear to be getting created, but they don't appear in the Shopify admin UI. Are they supposed to?
No, API created webhooks are not supposed to appear in the admin.
Hello,
The docs say about icon attribute:
A URL to an image file used as the icon in the top bar. If omitted, a default app icon will be used.
I expected the App Large Icon (uploaded in app settings) to be used by default, but it's not. Would it be possible to enhance the SDK to use the App Large Icon by default?
Thanks for looking into this for me Chris. If it is not exposed, how I can request to have the information exposed?
Thanks,
Jason
Hi,
My app registers a web hook for uninstall , I noticed that upon uninstall the hook gets called twice
Also when I install the app before the installation the hook for uninstall is also called.
Do you know why this happens?
Just something that would be very helpful is the ability to leave a review inside an embedded app. Would love to be able to trigger a modal that asks the user to leave a review for the app. Currently it's really hard to get users to review apps but if the ability to get this information quickly through the normal app flow would be highly beneficial for the app and to get real ratings.
That is excellent! And instead of written reviews, merchants should be able to just click a quick survey and answer some basic questions. Do you get value from this App? Does it save you time and money? Is the developer responsive to your problems or requests? And that should be posed only after at least a billing cycle or more.
You're so right Carted... asking for reviews is uncomfortable at best since it reeks of begging. No reviews, no merchants install the App. Yet even with a lot of reviews you often still get sceptical merchants thinking it's all rigged or fake. Not to mention reviews that completely miss the point of the App and instead end up being positive (or negative) off-topic rambling. Some people even review Apps they've never used for even a minute just to spite. Yay for reviews...
Yep, being able to review from inside an embedded app sounds like something that would definitely push more people into building embedded apps, which seems to be what Shopify folks are trying to do, so I don't see any reason why they don't allow this yet.
Preventing people that never used an app from reviewing it would also be a nice improvement as it would give more confidence to the merchants that the reviews are not fake.
You can tell the app to use whatever icon you want, so you could set it manually. You can also set the icon in your partners dashboard, so you could use something like photoshop to create a decent looking low-res version of your application icon.
The way the admin has been designed though, you may want to avoid anything that is too colour heavy. Something that is simply an outline may be the best since it will blend in with the rest of the admin.
You are going to need to provide more details as to what exactly you are talking about. What API request were you making to the Shopify API that caused the 503 error to occur?

Thanks Chris.
I would have preferred to avoid setting it manually, and by default use the icon I specified in partners dashboard > app settings > App Large Icon
I'm looking to see if the api is capable of adding to a customers cart by their ID. The situation is: I have a customers email, I believe I can lookup the customer id through the customer search api (http://docs.shopify.com/api/customer#search).
With this ID, I'd like to add to their cart, but the cart add documentation is missing. The only reference I can find is on the following link but it's exactly what I need: http://docs.shopify.com/support/your-website/themes/can-i-use-ajax-api#add-to-cart
Is it possible to do add to the customers basket using their ID?
Thanks
@Marius:
Squishing a 60x60 color icon into a 20x20 spot that is primarily designed to be black would end up looking really bad -- we're purposely suggesting that you design and implement a suitably sized icon for your app, rather than just relying on your one icon.
Ok that makes sense. Thanks!
