Shopify, make user land directly on checkout page from your website/app - shopify

When user click on the shopify link from my website (not shopify) I want to add products programmatically on cart and then take the user directly to the payment page.
Means I don't want user to go through a product selection process, I want app to do It all I want user to do is make a payment for the payable amount.
So the question is how to create a cart in your website/webapp and make user directly land on the checkout page in shopify store or what api to use.
thanks and open for suggestions.

It was simple, found it easily after some searching. All I needed was a checkout API.

How to redirect user back to the Sales Channel once the Shopify Payment is completed?

I have build a Sales Channel for my e-commerce website. The Sales Channel loads shopify products from Shopify stores to my e-commerce website.
Now I want to implement the Buy functionality: the user selects a product in my e-commerce website. I would create a DraftOrder and send the draft order to Shopify, shopify would respond with am invoice-url.
Now I can redirect the user to this invoice-url to make the payment directly through Shopify... but I want to redirect the user back to my e-commerce website, once the payment is completed.
Is it possible to implement this redirect functionality?
Note: I had asked a similar question trying to achieve the same goal using Checkout API.
You cannot do too much on the order status page - the page customer gets in once an order is placed and paid. You can add custom scripts on the shop's checkout settings page: Add Additional Scripts. For example, you can show a message with a link back to your sales channel.
If you're on Shopify Plus you can customize checkout.liquid directly.

How to create an order from sales channel and redirect the user to Shopify store for payment?

I am working on an e-commerce website similar to E-bay or Amazon, where sellers can list their products.
I have also created a Shopify Sales Channel for my e-commerce website, which can import products from Shopify. A Shopify store installs the Sales Channel App and their products will be imported to my e-commerce website.
All of this is working fine... now I want to build the last step, which is buy the product. A buyer comes to my e-commerce website and wants to buy a product which has been imported from certain Shopify store. I want to enable the buyer to create an order from my e-commerce website.
According to Shopify documentation:
By default, your app can provide checkout links to Shopify's web
checkout for each product. This lets your platform use Shopify's web
checkout instead of building your own native checkout form. You can
direct customers to a checkout link by using the web_url parameter of
the Checkout API.
This is what I want... I want to allow a buyer in my e-commerce website to create an order and redirect him to Shopify for payment... buy how can I actually implement this? Would I be able to implement this using Order API? And how could I redirect the user to Shopify store for payment?
If redirecting user to Shopify store for payment is not an option, then do I need to implement the payment process within my e-commerce using the Checkout API? Would anyone be able to give some details about this?
Use DraftOrder API to create an order. Once created it has the invoice_url attribute which can be used to pay and complete that order.

Post an order to Shopify for unknown user

Is there a way to post an order, including payment information and shipping information, to Shopify for a new user?
For example, user ABC wants to purchase a product through my website (that is not a shopify website), and I gather all of the information required to make the purchase, including shipping address, credit card, etc. User ABC is not known to Spotify. Is there a way for me to use the Shopify API to process this transaction, including payment processing and everything else?
Shopify has a sales channel called Buy Button. You can use that for your purpose.

Hide Shopify shop behind a paywall

I'm trying to create a shop that requires paid membership to use. I love what Shopify has to offer. Is it possible (with their API or by using an existing app) to force users to purchase a membership before they can access the store?
It is trivial to do if you can setup a subdomain and use Stripe. No one gets into Shopify without having an account, and no one gets an account except through you. Once they buy a membership via your Stripe form, you create their Shopify account, and send them their invite to use the Shop.
Nothing could be simpler...

remove shipping option using PayPal ButtonManager API

I'm using PayPal's ButtonManager API to dynamically create a hosted button.
When the user clicks on the "buy now" button, he's taken to a payment page where he can log in to his paypal account or pay by credit card.
Now what happens is that while giving his payment info, there's also shipping address info.
What I want to do is remove shipping address option entirely. My products are digital so I'm not doing any shipping and don't want any shipping to display.
Is there any HTML variable that I can pass through the button to ensure this? I know there's a no_shipping variable, which allows users to enter shipping address or not, but I don't even want this. I just want no shipping info at all. Is this possible?
Looking at this solution for Express Checkout:
Disable shipping address option in PayPal Express Checkout
I simply set L_BUTTONVAR4=no_shipping=1 in the NVP query string call to the Button Manager API, and it worked!
