Hi, I have been wondering if it is possible to use Shopify functions with a custom app creating here. I have been creating custom app for our company but I have to always create a separate app if I needed to do Shopify functions of any kind causing duplicate efforts to maintain two separate apps rather than being able to consolidate all functionality into one single custom app.
What I meant by custom apps are the apps created here:
If you’re creating custom apps, we’d recommend using the Shopify CLI to create these rather than create them in the admin (as you’ll have more flexibility/functionality).
Also, the Dev Assistant and the shopify.dev MCP server now adding support Shopify Functions, so I’d recommend using these to help you with creating functions, see: Shopify Functions support in Dev Assistant and the shopify.dev MCP server - Shopify developer changelog
It is extremely difficult to get an API key or request certain permissions like read all orders for those apps created under https://partners.shopify.com/ with the Shopify CLI, which has been a blocker for me to create apps with it because of the inconvenience while it is very easy to get API key or get additional permissions for creating an app in the admin.
Totally understand @Andrew_Jaanuu - this process will be much easier with the new developer dashboard that is launching soon: Create apps
