Motivation

What inspired this feature request? What problems were you facing?

I'm trying to recreate Shopify Example App in Laravel from scratch since there seems to be only node version available.

I came across the feature where scanning the QR code as a public URL will redirect to our server to update the scan counter.

However, at the moment, it seems as if all routes created will go through Shopify's authentication process and requirements.
So even if I create a route without including the middleware shopify.auth it will still fail

Route::get('/qrcodes/{code}/scans', [ScanController::class, 'show']);

I will see the following error screen

Would like to know what is the recommended way to create a public URL?

Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Start with the Route::get('/qrcodes/{code}/scans', ...) entry point and trace how the shopify.auth middleware is applied. Verify how a QR-code request can reach the server without Shopify authentication while still updating the scan counter, and confirm the public route no longer shows the authentication error.
