What VULK Generates for Shopify Apps

When your prompt mentions "Shopify app", "app for merchants", or "Shopify plugin", VULK generates a complete application using the official Shopify development stack: Remix, App Bridge, Polaris, Prisma, OAuth 2.0, webhooks, and Billing API.

Step 1: Describe Your App

Be specific about what the app does for merchants:

Product review manager:

Build a Shopify app for managing product reviews. Merchants can view, approve, and respond to reviews. Customers see star ratings on product pages. Include a dashboard with review analytics.

Inventory alerts:

Create a Shopify app that monitors inventory levels and sends alerts. Set custom thresholds per product. Dashboard shows low-stock items and restock suggestions.

Step 2: What Gets Generated

A production-ready project structure with routes (dashboard, settings, auth, webhooks), Polaris components, Prisma database models, the shopify.app.toml configuration, and optional theme extensions.

Step 3: OAuth and Authentication

The complete OAuth 2.0 flow is generated automatically. Merchant installs app, approves permissions, app receives authorization code, exchanges for access token, stores it securely.

Step 4: Admin API Integration

Generated code includes type-safe GraphQL queries for the Shopify Admin API: fetching products, reading orders, managing customers, creating discounts, and registering webhooks.

Step 5: Billing Integration

Mention pricing in your prompt and VULK generates the Billing API integration: plan selection page with Polaris pricing cards, subscription creation, billing confirmation, and active subscription checks.

Step 6: Export and Test

Export as ZIP. Run locally with npm install && npm run dev. Use Shopify CLI to create a development store: shopify app dev.

Traditional Cost vs VULK

Traditional Shopify app development: $25,000-$300,000, 6-12 months. VULK generates a working foundation in minutes. OAuth, webhooks, and billing — the hardest parts — are included automatically.

Tips

1. Specify permissions — "Read products and orders, write discounts" sets correct OAuth scopes
2. Describe the merchant workflow — "Opens app, sees dashboard, clicks product" designs the right page flow
3. Name Polaris components — "ResourceList for products, DataTable for reviews" gives specific UI direction
4. Think about webhooks — "When order is created, check VIP status" tells VULK to register ORDERS_CREATE
