Convex Shopify Session Storage

A Convex component that provides Shopify session storage backed by a Convex database. Drop-in session persistence for Shopify apps built on Convex.

Installation

npm install @fmaplabs/shopify-app-convex-session-storage

Register the component in your convex/convex.config.ts:

import { defineApp } from "convex/server";
import shopifyAppConvexSessionStorage from "@fmaplabs/shopify-app-convex-session-storage/convex.config.js";

const app = defineApp();
app.use(shopifyAppConvexSessionStorage);

export default app;

Usage

This package provides two ways to interact with session storage:

• ShopifySessionClient — for use inside Convex functions (server-side, via ctx.runQuery/ctx.runMutation)
• ConvexSessionStorage — for use outside Convex (your web server), implementing Shopify's SessionStorage interface

Step 1: Expose session functions in your Convex backend

The component's internal functions can't be called over HTTP directly. Create public wrappers in your Convex backend using ShopifySessionClient:

// convex/sessions.ts
import { mutation, query } from "./_generated/server.js";
import { components } from "./_generated/api.js";
import { ShopifySessionClient } from "@fmaplabs/shopify-app-convex-session-storage";
import { v } from "convex/values";

const sessionClient = new ShopifySessionClient(
  components.shopifyAppConvexSessionStorage,
);

export const storeSession = mutation({
  args: {
    id: v.string(),
    shop: v.string(),
    state: v.optional(v.string()),
    isOnline: v.boolean(),
    scope: v.optional(v.string()),
    expires: v.optional(v.string()),
    accessToken: v.optional(v.string()),
    onlineAccessInfo: v.optional(
      v.object({
        expires_in: v.number(),
        associated_user_scope: v.string(),
        associated_user: v.object({
          id: v.number(),
          first_name: v.string(),
          last_name: v.string(),
          email: v.string(),
          email_verified: v.boolean(),
          account_owner: v.boolean(),
          locale: v.string(),
          collaborator: v.boolean(),
        }),
      }),
    ),
  },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    return await sessionClient.storeSession(ctx, args);
  },
});

export const loadSession = query({
  args: { id: v.string() },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    return await sessionClient.loadSession(ctx, args);
  },
});

export const deleteSession = mutation({
  args: { id: v.string() },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    return await sessionClient.deleteSession(ctx, args);
  },
});

export const deleteSessions = mutation({
  args: { ids: v.array(v.string()) },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    return await sessionClient.deleteSessions(ctx, args);
  },
});

export const findSessionsByShop = query({
  args: { shop: v.string() },
  handler: async (ctx, args) => {
    return await sessionClient.findSessionsByShop(ctx, args);
  },
});

See example/convex/example.ts for a complete example with additional helper functions.

Step 2: Use ConvexSessionStorage in your web server

Pass ConvexSessionStorage to Shopify's shopifyApp() as the session storage adapter. It calls the public Convex functions you created above over HTTP.

npm install @shopify/shopify-api

With ConvexHttpClient

import { ConvexSessionStorage } from "@fmaplabs/shopify-app-convex-session-storage";
import { ConvexHttpClient } from "convex/browser";
import { api } from "../convex/_generated/api.js";

const client = new ConvexHttpClient(process.env.CONVEX_URL!);

export const sessionStorage = new ConvexSessionStorage(client, {
  storeSession: api.sessions.storeSession,
  loadSession: api.sessions.loadSession,
  deleteSession: api.sessions.deleteSession,
  deleteSessions: api.sessions.deleteSessions,
  findSessionsByShop: api.sessions.findSessionsByShop,
});

With Next.js fetchQuery/fetchMutation

ConvexSessionStorage accepts any object with query() and mutation() methods, so you can wrap Convex's Next.js helpers:

import { ConvexSessionStorage } from "@fmaplabs/shopify-app-convex-session-storage";
import { fetchQuery, fetchMutation } from "convex/nextjs";
import { api } from "../convex/_generated/api.js";

const client = {
  query: (name: any, args: any) => fetchQuery(name, args),
  mutation: (name: any, args: any) => fetchMutation(name, args),
};

export const sessionStorage = new ConvexSessionStorage(client, {
  storeSession: api.sessions.storeSession,
  loadSession: api.sessions.loadSession,
  deleteSession: api.sessions.deleteSession,
  deleteSessions: api.sessions.deleteSessions,
  findSessionsByShop: api.sessions.findSessionsByShop,
});

With shopifyApp()

import shopify from "@shopify/shopify-app-remix"; // or @shopify/shopify-app-express
import { sessionStorage } from "./session-storage";

const shopifyApp = shopify({
  // ...other config
  sessionStorage,
});

API

ShopifySessionClient

For use inside Convex functions. Wraps the component's internal queries and mutations.

Method	Type	Description
loadSession(ctx, { id })	query	Load a session by ID
storeSession(ctx, session)	mutation	Create or update a session (upsert)
deleteSession(ctx, { id })	mutation	Delete a session by ID
deleteSessions(ctx, { ids })	mutation	Delete multiple sessions by ID
findSessionsByShop(ctx, { shop })	query	Find all sessions for a shop
getOfflineSessionByShop(ctx, { shop })	query	Get the offline session for a shop
deleteSessionsByShop(ctx, { shop })	mutation	Delete all sessions for a shop
cleanupExpiredSessions(ctx)	mutation	Delete all expired sessions
updateScopes(ctx, { id, scope })	mutation	Update scopes on a session

ConvexSessionStorage

For use outside Convex (web server). Implements Shopify's SessionStorage interface.

new ConvexSessionStorage(client, functionRefs);

• client — any object with query(name, args) and mutation(name, args) methods (e.g. ConvexHttpClient)
• functionRefs — references to your 5 public Convex functions: storeSession, loadSession, deleteSession, deleteSessions, findSessionsByShop

Method	Description
storeSession(session)	Store a Shopify Session object
loadSession(id)	Load a session, returns Session or undefined
deleteSession(id)	Delete a session by ID
deleteSessions(ids)	Delete multiple sessions by ID
findSessionsByShop(shop)	Find all sessions for a shop

import type {
  ShopifySession,
