Shopify App Authentication

Shopify provides multiple authentication flows depending on your app type and use case. The modern standard is Token Exchange (2024+) for server-rendered apps, Managed Installation for headless apps, and OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Grant for legacy/custom implementations. All flows result in an access token for the Shopify GraphQL Admin API.

Authentication Flows Overview

1. Token Exchange (Recommended for 2024+)

Use Case: Server-rendered apps (Remix, Next.js with SSR), Shopify CLI apps Flow: Merchant installs app → Shopify generates temporary exchange token → App exchanges for access token Security: No client secret exposed; uses PKCE-style rotation per request Token Lifetime: Access tokens are short-lived; refresh tokens rotate automatically

Token Exchange Diagram:

1. Merchant clicks "Install" in Shopify Admin
2. Shopify redirects: https://your-app.com/auth/callback?code=EXCHANGE_TOKEN
3. App validates HMAC, exchanges code for access token (private, server-side only)
4. Shopify Admin API grants scopes; token stored in session/database
5. Token auto-refreshes on next request if expired

Remix Implementation (Token Exchange):

// shopify.app.ts (App Configuration)
import { shopifyApp } from '@shopify/shopify-app-remix/server';
import { restResources } from '@shopify/shopify-api/rest/admin/2026-07';
import { PrismaSessionStorage } from '@shopify/shopify-app-session-storage-prisma';
import { prisma } from '~/db.server';

const shopify = shopifyApp({
  apiKey: process.env.SHOPIFY_API_KEY || '',
  apiSecret: process.env.SHOPIFY_API_SECRET || '',
  scopes: process.env.SCOPES?.split(',') || [
    'write_products',
    'read_products',
    'write_orders',
    'read_orders',
    'write_customers',
    'read_customers',
    'write_discounts',
    'read_discounts',
    'write_fulfillments',
    'read_fulfillments',
    'write_inventory',
    'read_inventory',
  ],
  appUrl: process.env.SHOPIFY_APP_URL || 'http://localhost:3000',
  auth: {
    path: '/auth',
    callbackPath: '/auth/callback',
  },
  webhooks: {
    path: '/webhooks',
  },
  isEmbeddedApp: true, // Polaris admin dashboard
  sessionStorage: new PrismaSessionStorage(prisma),
  restResources, // Includes REST API helpers
});

export default shopify;

Environment Variables (.env):

SHOPIFY_API_KEY=your-public-api-key-from-partner-dashboard
SHOPIFY_API_SECRET=your-private-api-secret
SHOPIFY_APP_URL=https://your-domain.ngrok.io  # or prod URL
SCOPES=write_products,read_products,write_orders,read_orders

Auth Routes (routes/auth.$.tsx - Catch-all route):

import { redirect } from '@shopify/remix-oxygen';
import { authenticate } from '~/shopify.server';

export const loader = async ({ request }) => {
  const { authenticate } = await import('~/shopify.server');
  return authenticate.admin(request); // Token Exchange happens here
};

Callback Handling (routes/auth.callback.tsx):

import { json } from '@shopify/remix-oxygen';
import { authenticate } from '~/shopify.server';

export const loader = async ({ request }) => {
  const { session } = await authenticate.admin(request);
  // Session contains:
  // - session.accessToken (valid for API calls)
  // - session.shop (merchant's shop domain)
  // - session.scope (granted scopes)
  // - session.state (optional custom data)

  return redirect('/app'); // Redirect to dashboard after auth
};

Using Token in API Calls (routes/app.products.tsx):

import { json } from '@shopify/remix-oxygen';
import { authenticate } from '~/shopify.server';
import { GraphQLClient } from 'graphql-request';

export const loader = async ({ request }) => {
  const { session, admin } = await authenticate.admin(request);

  // Method 1: Use Shopify's admin helper (recommended)
  const response = await admin.graphql(`
    query GetProducts {
      products(first: 10) {
        edges {
          node {
            id
            title
            handle
          }
        }
      }
    }
  `);

  // Method 2: Manual GraphQL call
  const client = new GraphQLClient(
    `https://${session.shop}/admin/api/2026-07/graphql.json`,
    {
      headers: {
        'X-Shopify-Access-Token': session.accessToken,
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      },
    }
  );

  const data = await client.request(/* ... */);

  return json({ products: response.data?.products?.edges || [] });
};

Token Refresh (Automatic): Token Exchange tokens auto-refresh via Shopify's session middleware. No manual refresh needed:

// Tokens are refreshed transparently on each request
const response = await admin.graphql(query); // Handles refresh internally

2. Managed Installation (Headless/Custom Apps)

Use Case: Headless storefront, mobile apps, third-party integrations Flow: Merchant authorizes app → Shopify generates permanent access token (no secret rotation) Token Lifetime: Long-lived; no refresh required Security: Token is permanent; store securely in environment variable

Managed Installation Setup:

In Shopify Partner Dashboard:

App Settings > API Credentials
Select "Managed installation" under Admin API access scopes
Merchant grants permission once
Copy access token to your environment

# .env
SHOPIFY_ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN=<SHOPIFY_ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN>
SHOPIFY_SHOP_URL=example-shop.myshopify.com

Using Managed Installation Token:

import { GraphQLClient } from 'graphql-request';

const client = new GraphQLClient(
  `https://${process.env.SHOPIFY_SHOP_URL}/admin/api/2026-07/graphql.json`,
  {
    headers: {
      'X-Shopify-Access-Token': process.env.SHOPIFY_ADMIN_ACCESS_TOKEN || '',
    },
  }
);

// Token never expires; call API anytime
const query = `query { products(first: 10) { edges { node { id title } } } }`;
const products = await client.request(query);

3. OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code Grant (Legacy, Still Supported)

Use Case: Public apps with traditional OAuth flow Flow: Merchant clicks "Install" → App redirects to Shopify OAuth → Merchant authorizes → App receives code → App exchanges code for token Token Lifetime: Long-lived access token (no expiration unless revoked) Security: Client secret required; PKCE optional

OAuth Flow Diagram:

1. Merchant visits: https://your-app.com/auth
2. App redirects to: https://your-shop.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/authorize?client_id=KEY&scope=write_products&redirect_uri=https://your-app.com/auth/callback&state=RANDOM
3. Merchant authorizes app in Shopify Admin
4. Shopify redirects back: https://your-app.com/auth/callback?code=AUTHORIZATION_CODE&hmac=SIGNATURE&state=RANDOM&shop=your-shop.myshopify.com
5. App validates HMAC and state
6. App exchanges code for token (server-side, using client secret)
7. App stores token in database

Express.js OAuth Example:

import express from 'express';
import axios from 'axios';
import crypto from 'crypto';

const app = express();

const API_KEY = process.env.SHOPIFY_API_KEY || '';
const API_SECRET = process.env.SHOPIFY_API_SECRET || '';
const REDIRECT_URI = process.env.REDIRECT_URI || 'https://your-app.com/auth/callback';
const SCOPES = 'write_products,read_products';

// Step 1: Redirect merchant to Shopify OAuth
app.get('/auth', (req, res) => {
  const shop = req.query.shop as string;

  if (!shop || !shop.includes('.myshopify.com')) {
    return res.status(400).send('Missing or invalid shop parameter');
  }

  const state = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex');
  const nonce = crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex');

  // Store state in session (or database) for validation
  req.session.state = state;
  req.session.nonce = nonce;

  const authUrl = new URL(
    `/admin/oauth/authorize`,
    `https://${shop}`
  );
  authUrl.searchParams.append('client_id', API_KEY);
  authUrl.searchParams.append('scope', SCOPES);
  authUrl.searchParams.append('redirect_uri', REDIRECT_URI);
  authUrl.searchParams.append('state', state);

  res.redirect(authUrl.toString());
});

// Step 2: Handle OAuth callback
app.get('/auth/callback', async (req, res) => {
  const { code, hmac, shop, state } = req.query;

  // Validate HMAC
  const message = Object.entries(req.query)
    .filter(([key]) => key !== 'hmac')
    .map(([key, value]) => `${key}=${value}`)
    .sort()
    .join('&');

  const hash = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', API_SECRET)
    .update(message, 'utf8')
    .digest('base64');

  if (hash !== hmac) {
    return res.status(401).send('Unauthorized request detected');
  }

  // Validate state
  if (state !== req.session.state) {
    return res.status(401).send('State mismatch');
  }

  try {
    // Exchange code for access token
    const response = await axios.post(
      `https://${shop}/admin/oauth/access_token`,
      {
        client_id: API_KEY,
        client_secret: API_SECRET,
        code,
      }
    );

    const { access_token, scope } = response.data;

    // Store access token (in database, not session, for persistence)
    await storeAccessToken(shop as string, access_token, scope);

    // Redirect to app dashboard
    res.redirect(`/app?shop=${shop}`);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Token exchange error:', error);
    res.status(500).send('Authentication failed');
  }
});

// Helper function to store token
async function storeAccessToken(shop: string, token: string, scope: string) {
  // Store in database (example using mock storage)
  const db = {
    shops: {} as Record<string, { token: string; scope: string }>,
  };
  db.shops[shop] = { token, scope };
}

app.listen(3000);

Session Storage Adapters

Access tokens must be stored persistently. Shopify provides adapters for common storage backends:

Prisma (Recommended for Remix)

Schema (prisma/schema.prisma):

model Session {
  id        String    @id
  shop      String
  state     String
  isOnline  Boolean   @default(false)
  accessToken String
  refreshToken String?
  scope     String
  expiresAt DateTime?
  createdAt DateTime  @default(now())
  updatedAt DateTime  @updatedAt

  @@unique([shop, state])
  @@index([shop])
}

Setup (shopify.app.ts):

import { PrismaSessionStorage } from '@shopify/shopify-app-session-storage-prisma';
import { prisma } from '~/db.server';

const shopify = shopifyApp({
  // ...
  sessionStorage: new PrismaSessionStorage(prisma),
});

Redis

import { RedisSessionStorage } from '@shopify/shopify-app-session-storage-redis';
import redis from 'redis';

const redisClient = redis.createClient({
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 6379,
});

const sessionStorage = new RedisSessionStorage({
  client: redisClient,
  prefix: 'shopify_session:',
});

const shopify = shopifyApp({
  // ...
  sessionStorage,
});

In-Memory (Development Only)

import { MemorySessionStorage } from '@shopify/shopify-app-session-storage';

const sessionStorage = new MemorySessionStorage();

const shopify = shopifyApp({
  // ...
  sessionStorage, // CAUTION: Sessions lost on app restart; development only
});

DynamoDB

import { DynamoDBSessionStorage } from '@shopify/shopify-app-session-storage-dynamodb';
import { DynamoDBClient } from '@aws-sdk/client-dynamodb';

const dynamoDBClient = new DynamoDBClient({ region: 'us-east-1' });

const sessionStorage = new DynamoDBSessionStorage({
  client: dynamoDBClient,
  tableName: 'shopify-sessions',
});

const shopify = shopifyApp({
  // ...
  sessionStorage,
});

Online vs. Offline Tokens

Online Token:

Scope: Current user's permissions (typically admin user)
Expiration: 24 hours
Use Case: Browser-based actions (Polaris admin dashboard)
Limitations: Cannot run background jobs; limited when user logs out

Offline Token:

Scope: App's granted scopes
Expiration: None; permanent until revoked
Use Case: Background jobs, webhooks, scheduled tasks
Limitations: None; use by default for app operations

Requesting Offline Token in Token Exchange:

// shopify.app.ts
const shopify = shopifyApp({
  // ...
  auth: {
    path: '/auth',
    callbackPath: '/auth/callback',
  },
});

// Remix automatically requests offline token by default
// No action needed; use session.accessToken for API calls

Using Offline Token for Webhooks:

// webhooks/products-update.ts
export const webhooks = {
  APP_UNINSTALLED: {
    deliveryMethod: DeliveryMethod.Http,
    callbackUrl: '/webhooks/app-uninstalled',
  },
  PRODUCTS_UPDATE: {
    deliveryMethod: DeliveryMethod.Http,
    callbackUrl: '/webhooks/products-update',
  },
};

export default defineWebhooksConfig(
  async (request, { admin, session }) => {
    const { body, query } = await graphql.query(request, {
      query: GET_PRODUCT,
      variables: { id: 'gid://shopify/Product/123' },
    });

    // session.accessToken is offline token; valid here
    console.log(`Webhook processed with token for shop: ${session.shop}`);
  },
  webhooksConfig
);

App Proxy Authentication

Use Case: Storefront (public-facing) requests to app backend Authentication: HMAC signature validation (like webhooks) Flow: Storefront → Liquid proxy request → App backend (validates HMAC) → Response

Setting Up App Proxy (shopify.app.toml):

[[extensions]]
type = "app_proxy"
name = "Storefront API"
url = "/api/proxy"
subpath = "loyalty"  # Requests to /apps/loyalty/* are routed here

App Proxy Handler (Remix routes/api/proxy.ts):

import { json } from '@shopify/remix-oxygen';
import crypto from 'crypto';

export const loader = async ({ request }) => {
  const url = new URL(request.url);
  const hmac = url.searchParams.get('hmac') || '';
  const timestamp = url.searchParams.get('_t') || '';
  const shop = url.searchParams.get('shop') || '';

  // Build message to validate HMAC
  const params = new URLSearchParams();
  Array.from(url.searchParams.entries()).forEach(([key, value]) => {
    if (key !== 'hmac') params.append(key, value);
  });

  const message = params.toString();
  const hash = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', process.env.SHOPIFY_API_SECRET || '')
    .update(message, 'utf8')
    .digest('base64');

  if (hash !== hmac) {
    return json({ error: 'Unauthorized' }, { status: 401 });
  }

  // Validate timestamp (within 24 hours)
  const requestTime = parseInt(timestamp, 10);
  const currentTime = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
  if (Math.abs(currentTime - requestTime) > 86400) {
    return json({ error: 'Request expired' }, { status: 401 });
  }

  // Valid app proxy request; return customer's loyalty points
  const customerId = url.searchParams.get('customer_id') || '';
  const points = await getLoyaltyPoints(customerId);

  return json({ points });
};

async function getLoyaltyPoints(customerId: string) {
  // Fetch from database
  return 1500; // Example
}

Storefront Liquid Snippet:

<div id="loyalty-widget">
  <p>Your loyalty points: <span id="points">Loading...</span></p>
</div>

<script>
fetch('/apps/loyalty?customer_id={{ customer.id }}')
  .then(r => r.json())
  .then(data => {
    document.getElementById('points').textContent = data.points;
  });
</script>

Webhook Signature Verification

How It Works: Shopify sends HMAC-SHA256 signature in X-Shopify-Hmac-SHA256 header

Verify Signature (Manual):

import crypto from 'crypto';

export const verifyWebhookSignature = (
  request: Request,
  secret: string
): boolean => {
  const hmacHeader = request.headers.get('X-Shopify-Hmac-SHA256') || '';
  const body = request.body; // Must be raw bytes, not JSON

  const hash = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(body)
    .digest('base64');

  return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
    Buffer.from(hash),
    Buffer.from(hmacHeader)
  );
};

Verify Signature (Remix Shopify Package):

import { authenticate } from '~/shopify.server';

export const action = async ({ request }) => {
  const { webhook } = await authenticate.webhook(request);

  // Signature already validated by middleware
  console.log(`Webhook received for shop: ${webhook.shop}`);
  console.log(`Topic: ${webhook.topic}`);
  console.log(`Body:`, webhook.payload);

  return json({ status: 'ok' });
};

Register Webhook (shopify.app.ts):

const shopify = shopifyApp({
  // ...
  webhooks: {
    path: '/webhooks',
    validateHmac: true, // Automatic signature verification
  },
});

// Define webhooks in routes/webhooks.ts
export const webhooks = {
  APP_UNINSTALLED: {
    deliveryMethod: DeliveryMethod.Http,
    callbackUrl: '/webhooks/app-uninstalled',
  },
  ORDERS_CREATE: {
    deliveryMethod: DeliveryMethod.Http,
    callbackUrl: '/webhooks/orders-create',
  },
};

Customer Account API Authentication

Use Case: Access customer account data (orders, addresses, metafields) Authentication: Customer-specific access tokens (from Shopify Hydrogen or customer flow) Note: Different from admin API; limited to customer data only

Get Customer Access Token (in Hydrogen/Storefront):

// This is typically handled by Shopify's customer auth flow
const customerAccessToken = 'shpuc_XXXXX'; // Provided by auth

const response = await fetch(
  `https://example-shop.myshopify.com/api/2026-07/graphql.json`,
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'X-Shopify-Storefront-Access-Token': 'public-storefront-token',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      query: `
        query {
          customer(customerAccessToken: "${customerAccessToken}") {
            id
            firstName
            email
            orders(first: 10) {
              edges {
                node {
                  id
                  orderNumber
                  totalPrice
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      `,
    }),
  }
);

Public vs. Custom vs. Custom Distribution Apps

Public App (Shopify App Store):

Listed in Shopify App Store
OAuth 2.0 or Token Exchange
Scopes reviewed by Shopify
Available to all merchants
Example: "Email Marketing Pro"

Custom App (Internal Use):

Private; not listed in App Store
No scopes; request all access
Created by/for single merchant
Only accessible to merchant account
Example: Custom inventory sync for specific store

Custom Distribution App:

Limited distribution; only shared with specific merchants via link
Behaves like public app (listed in custom store) but not publicly visible
OAuth 2.0 required
Scopes still reviewed

Configuration (shopify.app.toml):

# Public App
scopes = "write_products,read_products,write_orders"
distribution = "public"

# Custom App (all scopes by default)
distribution = "private"

# Custom Distribution
distribution = "custom"
allowedDomains = ["company-partner.myshopify.com"]

Top 10 Authentication Bugs & Fixes

Bug	Symptom	Fix
Missing HMAC validation	Webhook spoofing; malicious requests processed	Always validate HMAC signature in webhook handlers; use `authenticate.webhook(request)`
Storing access token in session cookie	Token exposed in browser; XSS vulnerability	Store token in database (Prisma); never send to client; use httpOnly cookies for session ID only
Expired token not refreshed	"Unauthorized" errors after 24h (online tokens)	Token Exchange auto-refreshes; OAuth tokens are permanent; Managed Installation tokens never expire
Incorrect HMAC secret	"Invalid signature" errors on valid requests	Use correct `SHOPIFY_API_SECRET`; verify in Partner Dashboard > App Settings
State parameter not validated	CSRF attacks; attacker redirects merchant	Store state in session; validate in callback; use `crypto.randomBytes(16).toString('hex')` for state generation
App proxy timestamp not checked	Old requests replayed; business logic executed twice	Validate timestamp within 24h; use `Math.abs(currentTime - timestamp) < 86400`
Scope creep (requesting too many scopes)	App rejected by Shopify; merchant distrust	Request only scopes needed; remove unused scopes from SCOPES array
Token stored in environment variable for multi-tenant	Security breach; one merchant's token accessed by another	Use database storage (Prisma/Redis); one token per shop; index by shop domain
Webhook signature verified but not in constant-time	Timing attacks; signature can be guessed	Use `crypto.timingSafeEqual()` for comparison; avoid simple `===`
Customer access token hardcoded	Exposed in source code; customer data accessed	Never hardcode tokens; pass via environment variables or customer auth flow
