The Shopify App Development Kit (ADK) is a powerful tool for creating custom plugins for Shopify applications. To install the ADK, you need to download the latest version from the Shopify Developer website. Once downloaded, you can follow the instructions provided in the ADK documentation to install it on your system.
# Download the ADK $ curl -L https://github.com/Shopify/app-development-kit/archive/master.zip -o adk.zip # Unzip the ADK $ unzip adk.zip # Install the ADK $ cd app-development-kit-master $ npm install
Testing your custom plugin is an important step in the development process. To test your plugin, you need to install the Shopify App Development Kit (ADK). Once installed, you can use the ADK to run your plugin in a local environment. This will allow you to test the functionality of your plugin and make sure it works as expected. After testing, you can then publish your plugin to the Shopify App Store for others to use.
To test your plugin, first open the ADK and select the project you created for your plugin. Then, click on the “Run” button to start the local server. Once the server is running, you can open your browser and navigate to the URL provided by the ADK. This will open a page where you can test your plugin. You can also use the ADK’s debugging tools to help identify any issues with your code.
Once you are satisfied with the results of your testing, you can then publish your plugin to the Shopify App Store. This will allow other users to install and use your plugin in their own applications. To ensure that your plugin works as expected, it is important to monitor usage of your plugin and make any necessary updates or bug fixes.
Once you have tested your plugin and are satisfied with the results, you can publish it to the Shopify App Store. To do this, you will need to install the Shopify App Development Kit (ADK). This will allow you to package your plugin and submit it for review. Once approved, your plugin will be available for use by Shopify merchants. You can monitor usage of your plugin through the ADK dashboard.
To publish your plugin, follow these steps:

Once you have published your custom plugin, you can monitor its usage in the Shopify App Development Kit (ADK). To do this, open the ADK and select the ‘Analytics’ tab. Here you will be able to view the number of times your plugin has been used, as well as other useful metrics such as the average time taken to complete a task. You can also use the ADK to track any errors that may occur when using your plugin. This will help you identify any issues and make improvements to your plugin.
