<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to external third-party services to function properly. Below is detailed information about each service:</p>
<h4>Shopify Admin API</h4>
<p><strong>What it is:</strong> Shopify’s Admin API for accessing store data</p>
<p><strong>What it’s used for:</strong><br />
* Fetching product information (titles, descriptions, prices, variants, images…)<br />
* Retrieving collection data<br />
* Accessing shop metadata<br />
* Authenticating API requests</p>
<h4>Shopify Storefront API</h4>
<p><strong>What it is:</strong> Shopify’s Storefront API for customer-facing shopping functionality</p>
<p><strong>What it’s used for:</strong><br />
* Displaying real-time product prices and availability to site visitors<br />
* Enabling shopping cart functionality on your WordPress site<br />
* Processing add-to-cart actions<br />
* Managing checkout sessions</p>
<h4>Important Privacy Notes</h4>
<ul>
<li>This plugin does not collect, store, or process customer payment information</li>
<li>All payment processing happens on Shopify’s secure servers</li>
<li>Product browsing data may be subject to Shopify’s analytics and tracking</li>
<li>Review Shopify’s privacy policy and ensure your site’s privacy policy reflects the use of Shopify services</li>
</ul>
<h3>App Distribution and Single Domain Usage</h3>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT: Shopify Custom Apps Are Single-Domain Only</strong></p>
<p>Shopify custom apps are designed for use with a single store and single domain. This is a Shopify platform limitation, not a plugin limitation.</p>
<h4>What This Means</h4>
<ul>
<li>Each WordPress installation requires its own Shopify custom app</li>
<li>You cannot use one custom app across multiple WordPress sites</li>
<li>If you have multiple WordPress sites, you’ll need to create a separate custom app for each one</li>
<li>Custom app credentials are tied to specific API access tokens that cannot be shared</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why This Limitation Exists</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Security</strong>: Shopify custom apps use OAuth authentication tied to specific domains</li>
<li><strong>Access Control</strong>: Each app has its own access token that should not be shared across domains</li>
<li><strong>Terms of Service</strong>: Sharing custom app credentials violates Shopify’s API terms of service</li>
<li><strong>Audit Trail</strong>: Shopify tracks API usage per app for security and rate limiting</li>
</ul>
<h4>Rate Limits</h4>
<p>Shopify enforces API rate limits per custom app:<br />
* Admin API: 4 requests per second (40 points/second leaky bucket)<br />
* Storefront API: Higher limits for customer-facing requests<br />
* The plugin implements efficient batching to stay within limits</p>
