I have created a Shopify store and now I want to send orders to the 3rd party e-commerce website. I have 3rd party API but I don't know how to integrate it in my Shopify store. Could anyone explain to me the steps to make an app to integrate 3rd party API?
PS: I am new to Shopify
Thanks
Here is a recipe you can follow based on experience. I have done this 20+ times and I can tell you you are looking at about 5-10 hours of work to get it done.
open up a Shopify Partner account
login as a partner and navigate to Apps
create an App and set it to run at your favourite cloud provider
install the App in your shop
add an endpoint in your App to accept Shopify webhooks
parse the webhook data when it arrives so you can send that data to your 3rd party API
add the code to contact your 3rd party API and send them the data
That is all there is to it. Standard web/internet computing with a bit of oAuth token exchange with Shopify, a simple web App on your part, and the connection to a service for data exchange.
Hi you can use a Shopify webhooks functionality
Go to admin = >settings =>Notifications
than in the bottom you will see a
create webhook option
click on create webhook and select event from dropdwon and
specify the path of your api where you want the shopify order data.
It will send all the data to your api whenever your order will be placed/update.
Hope ths will help.

I'm looking to integrate my app as a 3rd party payment provider for Shopify merchants to add to their websites. This will allow customers to select my app as a payment option, and upon purchase will be re-directed to a web-page hosted on my app, where they can complete their purchase. After completing their purchase they would then be re-directed back to the merchant's Shopify website.
I've read a lot of the docs online about how to do this but I still have some uncertainty around some things:
I've already seen that this was done by using a Hosted Payments SDK,
but has since been deprecated. The docs mention to create an app in
the Partner Dashboard or Shopify CLI, as well as create a payment
extension. From my understanding the only thing I would need would
be the payment extension? I would just like to be able to send the
payment request from the merchant's Shopify website to my app
(likely through a webhook) which can then process it and return a
link to redirect the customer to the necessary page to make the
payment.
I'm struggling to find any online documentation or examples
on how you would create this payment extension.
I also can't find
any examples on how I would set up a 3rd party payment gateway by
creating a Shopify Payment app.
I'm hoping someone can assist me with this. Thanks!
I am totally new to Shopify Public App development and I will need your help to understand it a bit better.
For a client, I need to build a Shopify Public App that will be used by several Merchants.
This application will have to access the Merchants' store via the Admin API.
If my understanding is correct, in order to access one specific Merchant's store via the Admin API, I need to have 3 pieces of information from that Merchant's store: the Public API Key, Token and URL.
Now, my question:
When the Shopify Public App is installed by a Merchant, how does my app get these 3 pieces of information (specific to that particular merchant) ?
Is there any "magic" trick? Does the Merchant need to input this info? ...
In advance, many thanks for your help
Each merchant will need to install your app. In the installation phase shopify will pass, as an argument, the access token, that is a token that you will need, to use the Admin API.
If we're talking about an embedded app is expected that every request made is authenticated.
Depending on which kind of app you want to create (embedded or not) and language you may want to use, using the Shopify Cli to create the first draft of the app is really reccommended. It will create the base to have an installable app. Here is the documentation https://shopify.dev/apps/getting-started/create
You need to install the Shopify Cli and then run
shopify app create (node | ruby | php)
depending on your language of choice.
For those who might be interested, I finally found the link to the information.
Shopify - Getting started with OAuth
Lydia (easy paiement solution) propose Lydia API and web and iOS SDKs
Does anyone has a proof that Lydia auth/paiement actions can work in a React-Native app?
What I actually think:
Using the web sdk will maybe make the auth callbacks impossibles (like a web social auth on cordova => cookies policy errors)
Using the Lydia API using fetch is surelly ok, but without SDK the experience will be limited to create/read data from api.
Thanks by advance
Lydia tech lead here.
All SDKs you can find are just a quick and easy integration of the API : they are mainly distributed to not tech people. Using Lydia to make a payment is easy just one cURL.
Actually, there is no auth required for a payment through Lydia : the only thing you need is a phone number or an email address.
The API will return a link you can redirect the user to. If he has the app, it will open it for a on click payment. If he doesn't he will land on a credit card form. In both case, after the payment, he will redirected to an URL you gave when sending the payment request (meanwhile the payment confirmation will be done by a server to server call).
I am trying to access the Shopify API from an external app that I am building (mobile). For example, I would like to access this API:
https://mystore.myshopify.com/admin/products.json
Of course I would need to authenticate my request first. So far everybody I asked (including Shopify support), suggested that the only way to access the data is through a Shopify App.
Can you suggest a way to do this?
I have found the answer. Follow these steps if you want to access the Shopify API from an external app:
Login to your store as an admin
Go to Apps
Create a Private App
Use the following pattern with every URL you create (I am using this to get all the orders)
https://:#.myshopify.com/admin/orders.json
The API Key and the password appear in your private app info page.
(I am reposting this question here because I tried on the google news group and got no responses.)
I need to build a shop for my client, and the client already has a domain and a web site. I need to integrate e-commerce functionality in to the site. This is going to be done by sending AJAX requests to the API.
my question is whether I need to get a partner account for this? I am not yet going to write an app that people would install, I am just building a store for my client. how is it done?
You do not need a Shopify Partner account for this. You can instead create a "Private application" within the normal shopify admin, which will give you the api credentials you need to make stuff happen.
This article on the shopify wiki gives a good overview of the process for getting started (the first sections are most relevant in your case):
