I tried searching but I can't seem to find a way to get the tax rate in Bigcommerce checkout page. I'm using the Bigcommerce checkout sdk but I can't find a way or a method to use to get the tax rate. All the taxes I find are total amount only and label. Is there a way to get the tax rate using an API call?

What is the best way to retrieve gross sales of a certain product using Shopify API?
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 would like to build an app that shows me the price history of products and notifies me when the price reaches a certain limit.
I know that some of these things already exist, but I'm also interested in learning how to build them and trying out some technologies.
This is my question:
how do I get access to the Amazon Product API without having a website?
Right now, there are two Amazon APIs:
The older one is called Amazon MWS. You find its documentation here.
The newer one is called SP-API (abbreviation for Selling Partner API). This is their main page.
The access to both is only possible after registering as a professional seller (sic!), which costs a monthly fee (about USD 40). After registering as a seller, you then have to additionally register as a developer within your seller account.
If you do not want to pay monthly fees or register, you could also try webscraping their website. Here I do not now, what their policy is.
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.
