# Shopify Production Checklist

## Overview

Complete pre-launch checklist for deploying Shopify apps to production and submitting to the Shopify App Store.

## Prerequisites

- Staging environment tested and verified
- Shopify Partner account with app configured
- All development and staging tests passing

## Instructions

### Step 1: API and Authentication

- [ ] Using a recent stable API version (e.g., 2025-04), not `unstable`
- [ ] Access token stored in secure environment variables (never in code)
- [ ] API secret stored securely for webhook HMAC verification
- [ ] OAuth flow tested with a fresh install on a clean dev store
- [ ] Session persistence implemented (database or Redis, not in-memory)
- [ ] Token refresh/re-auth handled for expired sessions
- [ ] `APP_UNINSTALLED` webhook handler cleans up sessions

### Step 2: Mandatory GDPR Compliance

- [ ] `customers/data_request` webhook handler implemented
- [ ] `customers/redact` webhook handler implemented
- [ ] `shop/redact` webhook handler implemented (fires 48h after uninstall)
- [ ] All three configured in `shopify.app.toml`
- [ ] Handlers respond with HTTP 200 within 5 seconds
- [ ] Customer data deletion actually works (test it!)

### Step 3: Webhook Security

- [ ] All webhooks verify `X-Shopify-Hmac-Sha256` using HMAC-SHA256
- [ ] Using `crypto.timingSafeEqual()` for signature comparison
- [ ] Webhook endpoints use raw body parsing (not JSON middleware)
- [ ] Idempotency: duplicate webhook deliveries handled gracefully

### Step 4: Rate Limit Resilience

- [ ] GraphQL queries optimized (check `requestedQueryCost` with debug header)
- [ ] Retry logic with exponential backoff for 429 / THROTTLED responses
- [ ] Bulk operations used for large data exports instead of paginated queries
- [ ] No unbounded loops that could exhaust rate limits

### Step 5: Error Handling

- [ ] All GraphQL mutations check `userErrors` array (200 with errors!)
- [ ] HTTP 4xx/5xx errors caught and logged with `X-Request-Id`
- [ ] Graceful degradation when Shopify is unavailable
- [ ] No PII logged (customer emails, addresses, phone numbers)

### Step 6: App Store Submission Requirements

- [ ] App listing has clear name, description, and screenshots
- [ ] Privacy policy URL provided
- [ ] App has proper onboarding flow for new merchants
- [ ] Embedded app uses App Bridge for navigation (no full-page redirects)
- [ ] CSP headers set: `frame-ancestors https://*.myshopify.com https://admin.shopify.com`
- [ ] App works on both desktop and mobile admin
- [ ] Loading states shown during API calls (no blank screens)

### Step 7: API Version Management

```bash
# Check which API versions your store supports
curl -s -H "X-Shopify-Access-Token: $TOKEN" \
  "https://$STORE/admin/api/versions.json" \
  | jq '.supported_versions[] | select(.supported == true) | .handle'

# Shopify deprecates versions ~12 months after release
# Set a calendar reminder to upgrade quarterly
```

### Step 8: Health Check Endpoint

Express endpoint that tests Shopify API connectivity and database availability, returning structured status with latency metrics.

See [Health Check Endpoint](references/health-check-endpoint.md) for the complete implementation.

## Output

- All checklist items verified
- Health check endpoint operational
- GDPR compliance webhooks functional
- App ready for production traffic or App Store submission

## Error Handling

| Alert | Condition | Severity |
|-------|-----------|----------|
| Shopify API down | 5xx errors > 5/min | P1 - Critical |
| Auth failures | 401 errors > 0 | P1 - Token may be revoked |
| Rate limited | THROTTLED > 5/min | P2 - Reduce query cost |
| High latency | p95 > 3000ms | P2 - Check query complexity |
| Webhook failures | Delivery success < 95% | P2 - Check endpoint health |

## Examples

### Pre-Deploy Smoke Test

Bash script that validates Shopify auth and API scopes before deploying to production.

See [Pre-Deploy Smoke Test](references/pre-deploy-smoke-test.md) for the complete script.

jfrog

Included

Interact with the JFrog Platform via the JFrog CLI and REST/GraphQL APIs. Use this skill when the user wants to manage Artifactory repositories, upload or download artifacts, manage builds, configure permissions, manage users and groups, work with access tokens, configure JFrog CLI servers, search artifacts, manage properties, set up replication, manage JFrog Projects, run security audits or scans, look up CVE details, query exposures scan results from JFrog Advanced Security, manage release bundles and lifecycle operations, aggregate or export platform data, or perform any JFrog Platform administration task. Also use when the user mentions jf, jfrog, artifactory, xray, distribution, evidence, apptrust, onemodel, graphql, workers, mission control, curation, advanced security, exposures, or any JFrog product name.

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
