Why this starter exists

Junior Shopify devs do not need another vague tutorial. They need a working baseline they can inspect, edit, and break safely.

Natural next step

Once you wire your first real feature, a $9 quick question is the fastest way to get unstuck. If you want broader feedback on the code you wrote, move up to the $19 review.

Built for cloning

The download includes a beginner-friendly README, inline comments, and a small enough surface area that you can understand the whole thing in one sitting.

What's inside

  • Node.js + React Shopify CLI scaffold
  • Polaris components already configured
  • Embedded app authentication already wired
  • Admin API query example for live shop data
  • Admin API mutation example for sample products
  • Comments throughout the key files

Start here

  1. 01web/index.js -> Express server, auth routes, API examples
  2. 02web/shopify.js -> Shopify app config and session storage
  3. 03web/product-creator.js -> Sample GraphQL mutation
  4. 04web/frontend/pages/index.jsx -> Embedded app home screen
  5. 05web/frontend/components/ShopInfoCard.jsx -> Query example UI
  6. 06web/frontend/components/ProductsCard.jsx -> Mutation example UI

After you download

Don't build the whole app blind

The common pattern is predictable: the starter gets you moving, then the first real feature exposes the auth bugs, data-model mistakes, and GraphQL confusion. That is where the $9 question or $19 review pays for itself.
