Resource Picker

The Resource Picker API provides a search-based interface to help users find and select one or more products, collections, or product variants, and then returns the selected resources to your app. Both the app and the user must have the necessary permissions to access the resources selected.

Tip

If you are picking app resources such as product reviews, email templates, or subscription options, you should use the Picker API instead.

Anchor to resource picker optionsResource Picker Options

The Resource Picker accepts a variety of options to customize the picker's behavior.

Anchor to type type 'product' | 'variant' | 'collection' required: The type of resource you want to pick.
Anchor to action action 'add' | 'select' Default: 'add': The action verb appears in the title and as the primary action of the Resource Picker.
Anchor to filter filter: Filters for what resource to show.
Anchor to multiple multiple boolean | number Default: false: Whether to allow selecting multiple items of a specific type or not. If a number is provided, then limit the selections to a maximum of that number of items. When type is Product, the user may still select multiple variants of a single product, even if multiple is false.
Anchor to query query string Default: '': GraphQL initial search query for filtering resources available in the picker. See search syntax for more information. This is displayed in the search bar when the picker is opened and can be edited by users. For most use cases, you should use the filter.query option instead which doesn't show the query in the UI.
Anchor to selectionIds selectionIds [] Default: []: Resources that should be preselected when the picker is opened.
