ReDock + Shopify
Shopify apps, with a live loop.
A Shopify app is a Node service that the store must be able to call back. ReDock runs it on the Node version it wants and gives it a public HTTPS address in one click, so the OAuth redirect and webhooks just work.
Free · works with Shopify as Shopify · official marks, interoperability only What ReDock does with it
