You have two ways to do this: 1- Setup a route and have this route beying queried by your theme app extension (I do not recommend this option) https://docs.gadget.dev/guides/http-routes/route-configuration In this scenario data flows as: Gadget -> Shop front end 2- Setting up a metafield and using the metafield within you theme app extension (best option in most cases) https://docs.gadget.dev/guides/plugins/shopify/metafields-metaobjects#creating-a-relationship-to-a-custom-model In this scenario data flows as: Gadget -> Shopify metafields -> Shop front end

Depends on your setup, but metafiels are individual for each store. If you need a global one then maybe the routes would be a better solution
