CI/CD patterns

Shopify’s docs describe CI/CD usage for app and theme workflows. The exact secrets and tokens depend on your Shopify project type, but the operational pattern is consistent.

Apps

Use Shopify CLI in CI when your app configuration and extensions should deploy regularly.

pnpm install
shopify app config validate
shopify app deploy --force

Prefer validating configuration before deploy. Keep app-specific credentials in your CI secret store.

Themes

Themes can be pushed, pulled, packaged, and published from CI.

shopify theme check
shopify theme push --store your-store.myshopify.com --theme THEME_ID
shopify theme publish --store your-store.myshopify.com --theme THEME_ID

For automation, use Theme Access passwords or custom app access tokens with the required theme scopes.

Diagnostics

shopify commands --json --no-truncate
shopify version
shopify app logs --source backend
shopify theme info
