Confused about shop-name?

[thedangler]

How do you know what the shopname is before the Shop gives access to your app?
hardcoding shop name seems silly unless im understanding everything wrong.

@thedangler You usually would have a signup page, where the merchant has to give you his shop's name:

The screenshot is from an app that used the official ruby-rails shopify app gem, it provides a template generator for rails and some other stuff.
If you know ruby, you should take a look at its implementation, to get an idea of how they handle the signup etc 🎓
