Shopify Checkout UI Extension: Programmatic Environment Version

Extensions
1

I am developing a Checkout UI Extension that requires a method to programmatically retrieve the current Shopify environment version. The primary purpose of this requirement is to implement environment-specific routing for a “Learn More” link. I have two different learn more links depending on which Shopify environment I am on.

My question is: Is there an accessible property, API, or established method within the UI extension’s runtime to reliably deduce whether the code is currently executing in a dev or prod Shopify environment?

Hi @San_Romont

I don’t think there’s a way via the API to check if an evironment is prod or dev, but you could possibly infer from the shop domain that you can access with the Shop
API.

Would this work for you?
