I would like to sell a few products on Shopify. The user should be able to select a product and fill a form. Then some of these values will be passed to an external API and the API returns the correct price. How to implement this in Shopify? Are there any Shopify apps that could support the development of this?
The development process has not yet begun, so I'm free to use any other shop builder out there.
There are some apps to make it possible so you can sell at different price for customers.
Shopify appstore app
Bold custom pricing
Wholesale pricing discount
But I don't think these apps will not perfectly satisfy your needs.
If I can suggest something, after customer fills a form and get a price, then you can make price of product show on the store, and at the same time you can make a request to change the price of that product by using Shopify product api. Then everytime customer comes to your store and buy products, the price will change and they will be able to purchage at different price. I think it will work.
In the end, I decided to use Stripe Checkout for this. The design is amazing and the setup is simple. Later I will most likely switch to Stripe.js and Stripe Elements to enable even more customization.

I'm making an app for my shopify store, and I'm searching how to make my app display on the store settings as a rate provider but can't find any information regarding this.
Here is a picture of where I'd like my app to show
To clarify a bit on how to get to the above and what I'm talking about.
Head over to Shopify Settings > Shipping & Delivery
Click on Manage Rates
Select the appropriate Shipping Zone, click on Add Rates
Thanks in advance
The easiest way to be a carrier in a store is to be an App that installs itself as a custom carrier service. When you do that, the store (Shopify) will send every checkout payload (origin, destination, items) to your App, where you can figure out an appropriate rate and return that to the customer.
So your App means any customer will see your carrier and rates for their checkout. The merchant will see your carrier service in the admin, and they can turn it on/off from their desire as they please.
This is primitive, but it works.
I would like to discuss with you about a solution for an issue I`m having.
I have a marketplace, I want to allow Shopify sellers to sell on my marketplace.
I`m looking for the best solution to export the Shopify sellers products & Collections in a feed. I want to make this whole process to be automatic as possible. I dont want the sellers to have to deal with all the technical stuff.
Also, a feature the solution must contain is - I need to map the field once, to map the Shopify categories to my marketplace categories.
Do you know any solution, app or something that can help me?

I am trying to transfer an e-commerce website to Shopify and was wondering if anyone has had experience creating orders with Shopify API? There are some 3rd party apps that provide such a service but none of them are working properly in my case.
You can import orders to your Shopify store using this API call: https://help.shopify.com/api/reference/order#create
If your a developer trying to do this you can just setup a simple, local run application, that would do this for you, I'm a developer but also run a Shopify website and do something similar with Ruby.
If you an end user the only option you really have is to hire someone to build a private app for you, depending on what excatly you need to achieve its not overly difficult.

There is lots of help out there..
With Shopify API you can create customers and Orders, Here orders can be created through the API, but no payment information will be collected, and no transaction performed. You can mark the order with any payment status.
For details, you can check Shopify Orders API
https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference/orders/order
Also, along with orders, you can import Customers using Customers API endpoints i.e
https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference/customers
And also can update the Status of your newly imported orders to fulfillment using

New here and i hope i am in the right place to ask my question. We are having problem with submitting our app to Shopify App Store.
We have an app where people can create their own designs on our physical products and sell. So we can produce their products and dropship to their customers. There are many apps to that.
Problem is they forcing us to use Billing API for our product charges. They take 20% of commission which our margin is not that much. We are wholesaler and we our margin is super low. We use (well we were planing to use) Stripe for products charges, which is 2.9 % commission.
And Shopify Apps Team member is keep asking me my margin, and says: "We are requiring that all apps use the billing API, but I might be able to make an exception since it seems like your business model isn't compatible. If an exception is made, you will be required to sign a revenue share agreement based on your margins"
All other App (in our business line)they charge their customers with 3th party payment processors and i have spoken with some of them they say they never heard about it and they don't share any revenue (apart from membership fees) with Shopify.
Any idea about this?
Thank you so much for you help.
Shopify is charging 20% of the cost of the app not 20% of the cost of your finished products. I don't know if your app can be free and still in the app store but from what you have written free would work since you will actually make your money on the goods. Just bill normally for the orders you receive
Is this possible to have DHL's api implemented into Shopify?
We are assuming you would need a custom UI inside Shopify as well.
Not sure why this feature is not offered as DHL has the best rates for international shipping.
Let us know if anyone is up to develop this and what cost would be.
Thanks in Advanced!
You can create an App that queries DHL for shipping rates. You can hook that up on the cart. That way your customers would know what DHL charges based on whatever it is you cooked up for your products. Weight based estimates differ from dimensional ones.
Assuming you got decent estimates on shipping you'd be then wanting to hook up shipping rates inside your Shopify to use DHL. That is the rub there. If you cannot hook up to DHL inside Shopify to setup rates, there is not much you can do inside checkout.
Perhaps Shopify has hooks now so a shop can call in their own shipping rates? Ask them.
StarShipIt have a real time calculator for Shopify and DHL, I suggest getting in contact with them.
Shopify has not provided carrier calculated shipping for DHL. Since this issue has been raised since 2008, I suspect they will not, at least for the near future. Personally, I have emailed tech support and have yet to receive a clear answer. If this is a necessity for your site, you may have to try another solution.
