More detailed documentation about shopify

@panoply I started a tutorial on how to build a shopify app using this package but I still haven't finished part 2 😞

Hi @panoply
I think you are right, the Shopify package alone is a little hard to use if you do not already know how to build a Shopify app without their official gem in Ruby. I will start writing an example and document the steps.

Thanks for your feedback!

Hey @Ninigi I think the main thing to cover is the HMAC verification for Public Apps. While establishing the connection via OAUTH works perfectly, ensuring a request come from shopify within Embedded apps seems to be a little more difficult, as per Shopify docs here. Currently I'm using uberauth_shopify to ensure the public app is piped through authenticated.

Also, Instead of continually re-establishing a session, it might be an idea to have developers save their merchants shop and access_token to a database as per a discussion here. Hope this helps.

This is amazing. Thanks for putting your time into this. Can't wait to go over this when I have some time free up.
