Custom Shopify notify-me buttons with app proxy endpoints

Some stores want custom product-page UI that matches a heavily customized theme. A good back-in-stock app should support both default widgets and developer-built buttons.

Why app proxy endpoints help

Shopify app proxy routes let storefront code send signed requests through the store domain. That keeps the customer-facing implementation cleaner than calling an external app URL directly.

Common custom UI patterns

  • A custom Notify me drawer instead of a modal.
  • A wishlist icon in the product gallery.
  • A combined size selector and notify form.
  • A custom account-area wishlist link.

Developer responsibilities

Custom UI should preserve accessibility, validation, selected-variant accuracy, error states, loading states, and consent copy.
