Shopify CI Integration

Overview

Set up CI/CD pipelines for Shopify apps using GitHub Actions, including API version compatibility testing, Shopify CLI deployment, and extension validation.

Prerequisites

• GitHub repository with Actions enabled
• Shopify Partner account with CLI access
• Test store access token for integration tests

Instructions

Step 1: GitHub Actions Workflow

Create a workflow with lint, test, API version check, and deploy jobs.

See GitHub Actions Workflow for the complete .github/workflows/shopify-ci.yml file.

Step 2: Configure Secrets

# Store these in GitHub repository secrets
gh secret set SHOPIFY_API_KEY --body "your_api_key"
gh secret set SHOPIFY_API_SECRET --body "your_api_secret"
gh secret set SHOPIFY_TEST_STORE --body "your-dev-store.myshopify.com"
gh secret set SHOPIFY_TEST_TOKEN --body "shpat_test_token"
gh secret set SHOPIFY_PARTNERS_TOKEN --body "your_partners_cli_token"

Step 3: Integration Test Structure

Write integration tests that verify store connectivity, required scopes, and rate limit compliance. Tests skip automatically when SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN is not set.

See Integration Test Structure for the complete Vitest test file.

Output

• CI pipeline with lint, typecheck, unit tests, and integration tests
• API version deprecation monitoring
• Automated deployment via Shopify CLI
• Integration tests running against a test store

Error Handling

Examples
