Those limits exist for a re...

Instant Digital Downloads

In the Digital Downloads App, is there any way to grab the download link via the API so we can use it on the checkout page and customer accounts? I don't see anything in the API documentation and I have a customer who wants to publish the download link on checkout and customer accounts.

Application Proxy with Custom Domain - What is sent with the request?

For shops using custom domains (eg. store.penny-arcade.com) instead of their myshopify domain (eg. pennyarcade.myshopify.com), what is sent through with the proxy application request? The 'active' domain, or the original myshopify domain?I am still testing my proxy application with my dev stores, so can't replicate this.Thanks

Using Shopify with XML product pages

I am currently evaluating if we can use Shopify on our site, and if it will require the use of a special app. Let me lay out our web site situation, which I think is kind of unusual. We are a publisher; we sell books. Although the bulk of our site is simply a WordPress site, the product (book) pages are hosted on a MarkLogic XML server that we also use to host our digital publica...

Can I choose a liquid template from an App Proxy?

I'd like to name a template in my App Proxy that will be rendered by Shopify. The template would live in the Shopify store. I can set the "template" liquid variable in my App Proxy and send that back to Shopify, where it gets rendered into the theme correctly, but the template of that name doesn't get rendered. So, for instance, if I return{% assign template = 'foo&#3...
