How can I exclude a specific Shopify extension for certain stores during deployment?

Extensions
1

I have a set of Shopify extensions. I want to not include one of them for certain stores when I deploy.

Is there a way to do this?

This is not possible directly. Some extensions have a ShouldRender API, and App theme extensions can be conditional.

I hope that helps!

Another alternative is to set up a feature flag on the merchant’s accounts in your own database.

That way you can selectively release an extension, and collect interest through a quick sign up form for those that have tried adding the extension but aren’t part of your beta.

Does the value for available_if have to come from a metafield on the App Installation object? Or can it be a metafield on any resource?

E.g. could we do "available_if": "{{ shop.metafields['$app:ribbon'].ribbonEnabled }}"

Or is there a way to access metafields on shop from app in a liquid template?

Thanks!

Has to be on the app installation I believe @dantheado
