• Create a Salla App from scratch, e.g. chatbot app or shipping service app, or any amazing app from your idea.

Important Note:

If you are using Easy mode. the access token will push to the action (app.store.authorize) via webhook

While creating your App in the Salla Partners Portal, you will see that Salla provids two methods for the OAuth protocol, which are the Easy Mode and the Custom Mode.

During the setup process, the default OAuth protocol will be set to the Easy Mode, which can be configured from the file .env. All of the setup's values/keys are stored in the .env file as we can see in the below image.

This mode is the default mode for the authorization, which means that the access token is generated automatically at Salla's side back to you. You may refer to the class StoreAuthorize which is defined inside app\Actions\App\StoreAuthorize.php to get more details on how to receive and manage the access token

A callback Url is the Url that is triggered when the App has been granted authorization. This should be a valid Url to which the merchant's browser is redirected. In this mode, you will need to set a custom callback url from the App dashboard at the Salla Partner Portal. This callback url will redirect the merchants who are interested in using your app into your App entry page where the access token is generated. Moreover, using the Salla CLI command salla app serve, your callback url will be automatically updated.

You may refere to file app/Http/Controllers/OAuthController.php which contains the callback() function. This function is responsible for generating the access token

The custom url will redirect the merchant to the Store Dashboard in order to access the Store where he needs your App to be installed.

This project comes with a simple singleton authorization service to help you with managing the access and refresh tokens

// set the current user or any user you want to use his access tokens
app('salla.auth')->forUser(auth()->user());

// Get the get the store details
/** Salla\OAuth2\Client\Provider\SallaUser::class **/
app('salla.auth')->getResourceOwner();

// Made an API request using the current access token of the user
app('salla.auth')->request('GET', 'https://api.salla.dev/admin/v2/products')['data'];
    
// Request a new access token
app('salla.auth')->getNewAccessToken();

// Save the access token
auth()->user()->token()->create([
    'merchant'      => 'id',
    'access_token'  => 'access token',
    'expires_in'    => 'expires in sec',
    'refresh_token' => 'refresh token'
]);

Access tokens expire after two weeks. Once expired, you will have to refresh a user’s access token. you can easily request a new access token via the current refresh token for any user like this

try {
    // set the current user
    // or any user you want to refresh his access token
    app('salla.auth')
        ->forUser(auth()->user())
        ->getNewAccessToken();
    
    // by default the function `getNewAccessToken` will get a new access token 
    // and save the new access token to the same user you are set it in the `forUser` function
} catch (\League\OAuth2\Client\Provider\Exception\IdentityProviderException $exception) {
    // in case the token access token & refresh token is expired
    // you should redirect the user again to Salla authorization service to get a new token
    // return redirect()->route('oauth.redirect');
}

Webhooks simplify the communication between your App and Salla APIs. In this way, you will be notified whenever your app receives payload/data from the Salla APIs. These webhooks are triggered along with many actions such as an order or product being created, a customer logs in, a coupon is applied, and much more.

Salla already defined a list of the webhooks/actions that are triggered automatically. The predefined webhooks/actions can be found in the folder app/Actions.

Run the following command to create your webhook event:

salla app create-webhook <event.name>

You may find the supported Webhook events as follows:
