Can anyone please help me with how to create a cart with the file type modifier option of a product via V3 Cart API in BigCommerce?
I've already followed the Cart API Documentation.
Still, I'm not finding any solution to my issue.
My product in store-front looks like the below image.
Please help.
Hello have you tried updating the parameters for your product modifier in you storefront for the product to only accept the file types you currently want? I.E. Product > View > Customizations > Modifier Options. If you are looking for modifier options API it would be in the Product API Documentation under Modifiers located here.
I've checked that BigCommerce doesn't allow to create a cart with file type modifier via v3 Carts API.

I am looking for custom product filter using my custom Shopify App. I have created an app like structure and which is append to the product collection template.
How can I pass custom parameters like price, category or product attributes via URL or how it will render the product on the collection page.
Thanks,
Navas
If you created an App, you can add a Proxy to it. The Proxy allows Shopify to send secure data to your App via a Javascript call. You get the data from the shop about the product, you filter it, and you return JSON data if you want, to help the front end. Works great. Try it.
I would like to create a way for an admin to add a different video on each product page. Such as a field that would take a YouTube embed code. Video needs to be underneath the product description (not part of the description or in place of the product image). Is there an easy way to do this?
If you are using Google chrome you have an extension "ShopifyFD" to add metafields.
There are other apps and API (useful for bulk) that will also help you in adding metafields to product.
Once done you can use {{ product.metafields.___.___ }} format to call the metafield value.
How to add some extra details while adding products?
Currently I am able to add Variant in Product which shows an input field for the product in product details page. But then, I require to add the same Variants for all products.
My Requirement was to add custom field, e.g. Weight, Height, Wood Type, Color etc. that would appear for all products that are of category Table.
Is this possible some how?
This can be accomplished by creating a new template for your product. You can find some documentation for manually configuration additional product options here.
Most merchants on Shopify use apps to avoid manually configuring additional product options.
A simple task for you would be to add the information using the API for metafields since you are saying they are to be added to all the products. More information on metafields API and liquid are in the links below
Metafield Object and Metafield API
If they are only a few products, you can give this app a spin - ShopifyFD
If the different fields affect the price, create variants. Metafields can also be defined at variant level.
Product metafields can be managed from the Shopify adminpanel directly. You don't need a third-party app or chrome extension anymore!
From the adminpage, go to settings (bottomleft corner) and go to Metafields. From there, you can add the metafields to the product and set the desired contenttype (inputfield, image upload, checkbox, etcetera)
You will need to provide a namespace and key, which you can refer to from the code template. For instance: setting the "namespace and key" field to my_custom_fields.somefield, you will be able to access it from the product template file (product.liquid) like so:
{{ product.metafields.my_custom_fields.somefield }} or, of course, assign it like so:
{% assign myField = product.metafields.my_custom_fields.somefield %}
The created metafields will appear on the product editpage at the bottom. No chrome extensions needed!!
The accurate answer to your question is NO, You can't
But, the good news is there are some apps to accomplish the result. Here is one of the apps which is free!
How can I get more info on doing actions via links? eg updating/removing/adding to the cart, variants, etc etc

There isn't a way to support further actions with links as BigCommerce hasn't added this functionality
I'm just setting up my first BigCommerce store, and I'd like to know if I can use their API to add products to a shopper's cart and forward them to the checkout page programmatically?
The problem I'm trying to solve is creation of bundles of products in the store. I need to have each product in a bundle show up as a separate line item and sku on the order, but BigCommerce does not natively support this. The next best thing I can think of is to send the user to a specially crafted php page that will add the constituent parts to their cart, then forward them to the checkout page.
Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is there a simple way to do this that I've missed?
You can use the Cart api to
- Create cart
https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api/v3/cart.html#post-carts
and use the created cart id to
Generate cart URL
https://developer.bigcommerce.com/api/v3/cart.html#post-carts-cartid-redirect_urls
Then you can move the user to this url
