Shopify Dev Helper — Chrome Extension

A Chrome side panel extension for Shopify theme developers. Think Postman, but built specifically for the Shopify AJAX API — living right next to your browser tab.

No console. No custom scripts. No copy-pasting URLs. Just open the panel, navigate to any Shopify store, and start making requests.

Install on Chrome Web Store

Documentation

A developer tool for Shopify theme development. Select a section to learn how each feature works.


Why developers use it

Requests run inside the active tab, so they behave exactly like real storefront requests — no CORS errors, no authentication workarounds. Form values and responses are saved for the duration of your session, so you can switch tabs and come back without losing your work.

It works on any Shopify online store, including development, staging, and password-protected preview themes.


Permissions

The extension requests only the permissions it needs:

  • Active tab and scripting — to inject fetch requests into the current Shopify tab (required to bypass CORS for AJAX endpoints)
  • Side panel — to display the extension UI
  • Storage — to save form state in session storage and persist settings (Storefront token, API version, auto-close preference) across browser restarts
  • Tabs — to detect store changes and open admin or documentation links

No data is ever collected, transmitted, or stored beyond your local browser.
