Build an offsite payments extension

Hello!

I hope I chose the right category for discussion.

I’m a backend developer. I have been tasked with developing a new payment method for integration with one of our clients.

The documentation only provides an example using the Shopify CLI and Remix ( Build an offsite payments extension with Shopify CLI ).

As I see, there used to be a Laravel application template ( GitHub - Shopify/shopify-app-template-php ), but it was abandoned, although it is still not archived.

However, I would like to use a different stack on the frontend, one that is closer to me, and it is not React.

Questions:

1. Can I develop an offsite payments extension using Laravel? Or must I use the Remix App template to implement this functionality?

2. I already know about “Get approved for payments.” Am I correct in assuming that API access won’t be available even in development mode and that I need to submit an application first?

You need to be invited for this. There is no other way.
