@shopify/koa-shopify-auth
NOTE: this repo is no longer maintained. Prefer the official Node API.
If you're still wanting to use Koa, see simple-koa-shopify-auth for a potential community solution.
Middleware to authenticate a Koa application with Shopify.
Sister module to @shopify/shopify-express
, but simplified.
Features you might know from the express module like the webhook middleware and proxy will be presented as their own packages instead.
Versions prior to 3.1.68 are vulnerable to a reflected XSS attack. Please update to the latest version to protect your app.
This package builds upon the Shopify Node Library, so your app will have access to all of the library's features as well as the Koa-specific middlewares this package provides.
$ yarn add @shopify/koa-shopify-auth
This package exposes shopifyAuth
by default, and verifyRequest
as a named export. To make it ready for use, you need to initialize the Shopify Library and then use that to initialize this package:
import shopifyAuth, {verifyRequest} from '@shopify/koa-shopify-auth';
import Shopify, {ApiVersion} from '@shopify/shopify-api';
// Initialize the library
Shopify.Context.initialize({
API_KEY: 'Your API_KEY',
API_SECRET_KEY: 'Your API_SECRET_KEY',
SCOPES: ['Your scopes'],
HOST_NAME: 'Your HOST_NAME (omit the https:// part)',
API_VERSION: ApiVersion.October20,
IS_EMBEDDED_APP: true,
// More information at https://github.com/Shopify/shopify-node-api/blob/main/docs/issues.md#notes-on-session-handling
SESSION_STORAGE: new Shopify.Session.MemorySessionStorage(),
});
Returns an authentication middleware taking up (by default) the routes /auth
and /auth/callback
.
app.use(
shopifyAuth({
// if specified, mounts the routes off of the given path
// eg. /shopify/auth, /shopify/auth/callback
// defaults to ''
prefix: '/shopify',
// set access mode, default is 'online'
accessMode: 'offline',
// callback for when auth is completed
afterAuth(ctx) {
const {shop, accessToken} = ctx.state.shopify;
console.log('We did it!', accessToken);
ctx.redirect('/');
},
}),
);
/auth
This route starts the oauth process. It expects a ?shop
parameter and will error out if one is not present. To install it in a store just go to /auth?shop=myStoreSubdomain
.
/auth/callback
You should never have to manually go here. This route is purely for shopify to send data back during the oauth process.
verifyRequest
Returns a middleware to verify requests before letting them further in the chain.
Note: if you're using a prefix for shopifyAuth
, that prefix needs to be present in the paths for authRoute
and fallbackRoute
below.
app.use(
verifyRequest({
// path to redirect to if verification fails
// defaults to '/auth'
authRoute: '/foo/auth',
// path to redirect to if verification fails and there is no shop on the query
// defaults to '/auth'
fallbackRoute: '/install',
// which access mode is being used
// defaults to 'online'
accessMode: 'offline',
// if false, redirect the user to OAuth. If true, send back a 403 with the following headers:
// - X-Shopify-API-Request-Failure-Reauthorize: '1'
// - X-Shopify-API-Request-Failure-Reauthorize-Url: '<auth_url_path>'
// defaults to false
returnHeader: true,
}),
);
Versions prior to v4 of this package used cookies to store session information for your app. However, internet browsers have been moving to block 3rd party cookies, which creates issues for embedded apps.
If you have an app using this package, you can migrate from cookie-based authentication to session tokens by performing a few steps:
@shopify/koa-shopify-auth
dependency to v4+@shopify/shopify-api
libraryaccessMode: 'offline'
in shopifyAuth
, make sure to pass the same value in verifyRequest
@shopify/app-bridge-utils
in your frontend appfetch
calls with authenticatedFetch
from App Bridge UtilsNote: the backend steps need to be performed to fully migrate your app to v4, even if your app is not embedded.
You can learn more about session tokens in our authentication tutorial. Go to the frontend changes section under Setup for instructions and examples on how to update your frontend code.
This example will enable you to quickly set up the backend for a working development app. Please read the Gotchas session below to make sure you are ready for production use.

The provided MemorySessionStorage
class may not be scalable for production use. You can implement your own strategy by creating a class that implements a few key methods. Learn more about how the Shopify Library handles sessions.
By default this app requires that you use a myshopify.com
host in the shop
parameter. You can modify this to test against a local/staging environment via the myShopifyDomain
option to shopifyAuth
(e.g. myshopify.io
).
