Request origin cannot be verified – Shopify

enter image description hereI’m developing an app for Shopify. Currently under development stage. Until now, I have successfully managed to authorise the app and then redirect it back to admin page using the Embedded App SDK. However, when I return to the admin page, it gives me an error saying Request origin cannot be verified.

The console shows Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)
The URL in the console is something like this https://myshop.myshopify.com/admin/apps/dfdjf4343343434343434bfdf/shopify/shopify/callback?code=ffdfdffd&hmac=fdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfddfdfdfdfdf&shop=myshop.myshopify.com&state=151193864548800&timestamp=1511938648

The fdfdfdfdfdfdfdfdfddfdfdfdfdf are just random characters that I’ve replaced instead of a hash. FYI – I’ve removed the app name and user profile name and avatar from the image.

    This is happening because, you are unable to match state, that is set in cookie, while responding with redirect url

    const ShopifyToken = require('shopify-token')

const forwardingAddress = process.env.HOST

const shopifyToken = new ShopifyToken({
  sharedSecret: process.env.SHOPIFY_API_SECRET,
  redirectUri: forwardingAddress + '/shopify/callback',
  apiKey: process.env.SHOPIFY_API_KEY
})


const shopify = {
  // use this for authentication
  auth: (req, res, next) => {
    const shop = req.query.shop
    if (!shop) {
      return res.status(400).send('Missing shop parameter. Please add ?shop=your-development-shop.myshopify.com to your request')
    }
    const shopRegex = /^([w-]+).myshopify.com/i
    const shopName = shopRegex.exec(shop)[1]
    const state = shopifyToken.generateNonce()
    const url = shopifyToken.generateAuthUrl(shopName, scopes, state)
    res.cookie('state', state)
    res.redirect(url)
  },

  // use this as your callback function
  authCallback: async (req, res) => {
    const { shop, hmac, code, state } = req.query
    const stateCookie = cookie.parse(req.headers.cookie).state
    if (state !== stateCookie) {
    // you are unable to set proper state ("nonce") in this case, thus you are getting this error
      return res.status(403).send('Request origin cannot be verified')
    }
    if (!shop || !hmac || !code) {
      res.status(400).send('Required parameters missing')
    }
    let hmacVerified = shopifyToken.verifyHmac(req.query)
    console.log(`verifying -> ${hmacVerified}`)
    // DONE: Validate request is from Shopify
    if (!hmacVerified) {
      return res.status(400).send('HMAC validation failed')
    }
    const accessToken = await shopifyToken.getAccessToken(shop, code)
    const shopRequestUrl = 'https://' + shop + '/admin/shop.json'
    const shopRequestHeaders = {
      'X-Shopify-Access-Token': accessToken
    }
    try {
      const shopResponse = await request.get(shopRequestUrl, { headers: shopRequestHeaders })
      res.status(200).end(shopResponse)
    } catch (error) {
      res.status(error.statusCode).send(error.error.error_description)
    }
  }
}

    Simple as this is, also make sure that the protocol matches from what you typed in to start the app install.

    If you accidentally use http for http://you.ngrok.io/ but your callback redirects to https (i.e. https://you.ngrok.io/auth/callback), the OAuth handshake will fail.
