Shopify Dev Helper

Developer tool for Shopify theme development — AJAX API, theme preview utilities, and more

Shopify Dev Helper A Chrome side panel extension for Shopify theme developers. Think Postman, but built for the Shopify AJAX and Storefront APIs — living right next to your browser tab. No console, no custom scripts. Open the panel on any store and start making live requests. AJAX API Live requests injected into the active tab — real storefront context, no CORS workarounds: Cart — get, add (multi-item), update, change, clear, attributes, note, and discount codes Add to Cart — add multiple variants in one request; "Detect from page" auto-fills the Variant ID Product — fetch by handle; one-click detection from the current URL Recommendations — related or complementary products by product ID Predictive Search — configurable resource types, fields, and result limits Storefront API Full GraphQL access with your saved token — no Postman, no terminal: Products & Collections — fetch or list by handle or GID; pick fields with one click Blogs, Articles, Pages, Menus — by handle or GID Metaobjects & Metafields — fetch by type, handle, namespace, or key Shop Info — storefront settings and policies Custom Query — write any GraphQL query with a built-in formatter All responses are shown in a collapsible, searchable JSON viewer with a one-click Copy button. Theme & Admin Customizer, Code Editor, Open Page in Customizer — jump to the right editor in one click Open in Admin — detects the current page and opens the matching admin record automatically Preview Banner — toggle pb=1 / pb=0 without touching the URL Copy Preview URL — copies the current URL with ?preview_theme_id= appended Page Context Inspector — reads ShopifyAnalytics.meta and Shopify globals at a glance Quick Navigation — one-click links to all common Admin sections Themes Viewed History — automatically logs every theme you visit; pin entries to keep them Cache & History Session cache — keeps the panel functional when you navigate away from a store tab Request History — last 15 API requests logged automatically with method, status, response time, and full JSON; persists across reloads Settings Storefront Access Token, API Version, and auto-close behaviour — all saved persistently in your browser. Permissions Active tab and scripting (CORS bypass), side panel, storage, and tabs. No data is ever collected, transmitted, or stored outside your local browser.
