The REST Admin API is a legacy API as of October 1, 2024. Starting April 1, 2025, all new public apps must be built exclusively with the GraphQL Admin API. For details and migration steps, visit our migration guide.

Product ResourceFeedback

Requires resource_feedbacks access scope.

Important

Product ResourceFeedback is only for use with the Sales Channel SDK.

The Product ResourceFeedback API allows you to communicate the state of a shop's individual products, as it pertains to your application, by sending product feedback within the Shopify admin. Once created, product resource feedback is used help merchants get your app setup on their store by addressing missing steps or fixing problems.

Send product feedback

You can send feedback on a product to let merchants know what steps they need to take to make sure your app is set up correctly. Feedback can have one of two states: requires_action or success. You will need to send a requires_action feedback request for each step that the merchant is required to complete. If there are multiple setup steps requiring merchant action, send feedback with a state of requires_action as merchants complete prior steps. Send a success feedback request to remove the feedback message from Shopify admin.

Important

Sending feedback replaces previously sent feedback for the Shop. Unlike REST-style APIs, you don't need to make a PATCH or PUT request to update any previously sent feedback. Send a new POST request to push the latest state of a shop or its resources to Shopify.

Formatting the resource feedback message field

If your state is requires_action you can send up to ten string messages, which communicate the action to be taken by the merchant. Each string must be a single message up to 100 characters long, must start with a capital letter (but not use all caps), and must end with a period. You must adhere to the message formatting rules or your requests will fail:

Examples:

  • Needs at least one image.
  • Needs to be a shippable product.
  • Merchants viewing individual products will see your app's messages as a bulleted list of errors. Other user interfaces in Shopify admin will report statistics like the number of errors your app has reported. Once the merchant has made a single or a series of updates to validate the product, your app can send a status ofsuccess.
