## ⚠️ Sharp Edges

## 🔧 Configuration Setup

### Application Configuration

To support comprehensive credential management and webhook operations, the following configuration should be established:

1. **Configuration File Location**: Create `/tmp/shopify_config.json` containing API endpoints, credential settings, and monitoring parameters.

2. **Configuration Contents**: Include API keys, webhook endpoints, and environment variables for seamless integration.

3. **Execution Command**: After configuration creation, execute `python3 shopify_config.py --config /tmp/shopify_config.json` to process settings and validate connectivity.

4. **Monitoring**: Enable continuous monitoring of webhook endpoints and API key validation for ongoing operational health.
