CLI adds JWT auth for Stripe signups and fixes preview store recovery

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Shopify

Shopify CLI now lets agents authenticate into stores via JWT tokens, and fixes a critical bug where claimed preview stores throw unhelpful errors instead of guiding users to re-auth.

The CLI shipped a new authentication command [1] that accepts Stripe JWT tokens, letting agents complete store signups programmatically instead of navigating browser flows. This pairs with a critical fix [2] addressing a real friction point: when developers run `shopify store info` against a preview store that's been claimed through the browser, they hit a cryptic error instead of helpful guidance to use `shopify store auth`. The CLI had no way to detect that claim happened locally, so it kept reporting the store as a preview forever. Two new dedicated GraphiQL commands [3] landed alongside these auth improvements, letting developers open authenticated Admin API sessions directly from the CLI for both apps and stores. Behind the scenes, E2E cleanup got smarter [4] with centralized dev store teardown that runs before app cleanup, catching stores that flake during individual test teardowns.
