Create a file that defines constants. The constants are used across your app components.

In your project directory, in the web/frontend folder, create constants.js.

Create the following app components:

• name
• deposit selection
• remaining balance charge
• fulfillment selection and inventory reserve
• product selection

Create a component that enables merchants to set the deferred purchase option name. The name component includes the following Polaris components:

• Card
• TextField

In the web/frontend/purchaseOptions/components folder, create PurchaseOptionName.jsx.

Create a component that enables merchants to set the deposit amount charged at checkout. The deposit selection component uses the constants defined in web/frontend/constants.js and includes the following Polaris components:

• Card
• Select

In the web/frontend/components/purchaseOptions.jsx folder, create DepositSelection.jsx.

Create a component that enables merchants to select the remaining balance charge date. The remaining balance charge component uses the constants defined in web/frontend/constants.js and includes the following Polaris components:

• Card
• DatePicker

In the web/frontend/components folder, create RemainingBalanceCharge.jsx.

Create components that enable merchants to select when to fulfill the order and when to update the inventory. The fulfillment selection and inventory reserve components use the constants defined in web/frontend/constants.js and include the following Polaris components:

• Card
• Stack
• RadioButton

1. In the web/frontend/components folder, create FulfillmentSelection.jsx.

2. In the web/frontend/purchaseOptions/components folder, create InventoryReserve.jsx.

Create a component that enables merchants to select products that will have the deferred purchase option. The product selection component includes the ResourcePicker React component.

In the web/frontend/components folder, create ProductsSelection.jsx.

When you click Select products, the product list is displayed.

You have created the required components. Now you are ready to put them together to create UI so merchants can create deferred purchase options.

Learn more about GraphQL Admin API mutations for deferred purchase options.

1. Install @shopify/react-form. Run the following command in the web/docs/frontend folder:

1. Update the web/frontend/pages/purchaseOptions/new.jsx file with the following code:

Next we will define a new API endpoint that will be called in the previous step to create deferred purchase options. The API endpoint in our app will call the Shopify GraphQL Admin API. Open the app server file found in web/index.js;

1. Add the GraphQL mutation for creating a deffered purchase option to the file after const app = express();. This mutation will take the data from the form and call the Shopify GraphQL Admin API to create a deferred purchase option.

1. Add a new route to the app server to handle the API request. This route will call the GraphQL mutation to create the deferred purchase option. Add this code after the app.use(express.json()); line.

Next you will update the app home page UI to display the created deferred purchase options.

In the web/frontend/pages folder, update index.jsx with the following code:

Now you will add an API endpoint to the app server to retrieve the deferred purchase options. This endpoint will call the Shopify GraphQL Admin API to retrieve previsouly created deferred purchase options.

1. Navigate to the web/index.js. Add the following GraphQL query to list the deffered purchase options, after the previous GraphQL mutation.

1. Add a new route for listing the purchase options, after the previously added route.
