shopify-app-template-php

Hi there,

Has anyone used a package that's an alternative to "shopify-app-template-php"?

Looks like it's still using Laravel 8

Certainly! If you're looking for an alternative to the official shopify-app-template-php (which is based on Laravel 8), here are a few options and approaches you can consider:

  1. Use a Community Package
    There are a few community-maintained packages that support newer versions of Laravel. One popular option is:

    • osiset/laravel-shopify
      This package is widely used and supports Laravel 9 and 10. It provides a lot of the boilerplate needed to build Shopify apps in PHP/Laravel.

      Installation:

      composer require osiset/laravel-shopify
      

      Documentation:
      https://github.com/osiset/laravel-shopify

  2. Upgrade the Official Template
    If you prefer to stick with the official template, you can try upgrading the dependencies to Laravel 10 yourself. This may require some manual adjustments for breaking changes between Laravel 8 and 10.

  3. Build Your Own Integration
    If you need more flexibility, you can use the official Shopify PHP API library and integrate it into a fresh Laravel 10+ project:

    composer require shopify/shopify-api
    

    Then, follow the Shopify API docs to implement authentication, webhooks, and API calls as needed.

Summary Table

Option Laravel Version Support Notes
shopify-app-template-php 8 Official, but outdated
osiset/laravel-shopify 9, 10 Community, actively maintained
shopify/shopify-api (DIY) Any Use with any Laravel version

Recommendation:
For most users, osiset/laravel-shopify is the best drop-in replacement for the official template and supports newer Laravel versions.

Let me know if you need help getting started with any of these options!
