Before step 1
you will need
- Node.js 22
- SQLite
- Shopify custom app Admin API token (read_products, read_customers, read_orders)
- Bulk email provider key in .env
- A sending domain you control, with SPF and DKIM already verified
Delivery order
Scaffold the smallest runnable application and document its commands.
done whenThe project starts from a documented command in a clean checkout.
Implement the primary data model and core workflow.
done whenThe main object can be created, read and changed end to end.
Add validation, safe failure states, and persistence.
done whenBad input is refused with a readable message and nothing is left corrupted.
Cover the critical path with automated tests.
done whenThe highest-risk behavior fails the suite when it breaks.
Exercise a clean install from the README and fix every missing step.
done whenA fresh clone reaches the first successful workflow using only the README.
That is the whole plan for Sendcore. What it deliberately does not cover is below · check the gaps before you call it a replacement.
- App Store distribution: OAuth install, app review and the mandatory GDPR data webhooks
- billing that appears on the merchant's own Shopify invoice instead of a separate card
- domain authentication onboarding and per-tenant sender reputation
- bounce, complaint and suppression handling
- order-level revenue attribution and automations that fire on real store events
