Doing business to business transactions through BigCommerce has created a few unique things BigCommerce isn't set up to handle.
One is that our customers want the option to use a page that works like a spreadsheet where they can quickly add products to their cart all from the same page.
I am looking in to the possibility of finding a way to generate a table that lists each SKU in a row with columns for SKU, Product name, Price, and an "add to cart" button. Basically, run a query of the product database and display the information on a webpage accessible by the customer.
Right now, my solution is manually typing out each row for 1,500+ SKUs. Hoping there's a better way.

I am facing a issue in shopify. The issue is I am listing products on a page with price. But i want whatever first 3 products customer click should be free for them. The fourth one they click should be of price set on backend.
So basically all products will have price. But first 3 client select should be free for them. Is this customization possible in shopify?
You have two choices. One, you use Shopify Plus, and with that you are free to script the checkout and change prices to free on items in the checkout. Or two, without Plus, you are free to use Discount Codes to bring the price of a checkout down to zero for items that meet criteria you setup. Those are your only sane choices at this time.
I am a shopify partner, I am trying to get around the the variant limits of shopify by coding an app and also because my client has a complicated formula for calculating the price. I don't have a problem with the part that adds the information for my variants to the order, however when I want to modify the price based on the user selection, it doesn't seem an easy task to do.
I came across couple of apps which does the same thing by adding a new product or variation which is not optimal for my use case, is there any app that does the job without adding extra information to the database, if so, how?
Qualified Yes
Unfortunately, Shopify doesn't give us a lot of options to edit prices of items dynamically. Here are the two options that I know of that will allow you to adjust the price of a product directly - however, both have limitations.
Using Shopify Script Editor
If you're working with a Shopify Plus merchant, you can use the Shopify Script Editor to dynamically adjust the prices of products, provided that the direction you adjust is down. You cannot increase the price of a product using the script editor - so for your use case, the list price would have to be the most expensive possible price that the item sells for, which you would then discount appropriately using the app.
Using draft orders
Using an app, you can use Shopify's Draft Order API to create an order with custom discounts and/or create completely custom items that are independent of the products set up in the product database.
The basic flow for this is that when the customer clicks 'checkout' you halt the normal navigation, send the cart contents to your app, create a draft order with the appropriate pricing, then supply the front-end code with the draft-order checkout/invoice URL so that you can send the customer there instead of the normal checkout. This has several limitations, however, including that prices of existing products can only be discounted, not increased, and the fact that Shopify will not allow a customer to use discount codes on a draft order invoice - once an order is set up this way, Shopify's assumption is that all prices are final.
Disclaimer: Sorry if someone sensible doesn't like a response with a link :) I'm not related to this app I'm just a user.
On a project with complex pricing, we use the app Wholesale Pricing Discount by Wholesale Helper we liked because is easy to import multiple pricing by-product and relate it by customer.
this app does not multiply the products, they use customer tags. maybe that can give you some guidance.
An important rule on Shopify is you can't increase the price by API on an order, you can just reduce i
I am working on a ecommerce project(in Django and it is based on rest API) where users can place orders. Users can add items they are interested to buy in a shopping cart which is persistent. They go through the checkout process to place the order.
I am not clear how to store and manage intermediate order stage before creating final order in order table in case of rest API based service which does not have request session.
I am thinking of these options:
using separate cart, order table: cart table will have items selected by the user. when they click checkout, create an order but with a flag which says it is in intermediate stage. when payment is initiated, it will be marked as a final order.
using separate table for cart, checkout and order: cart table will have items selected by the user. when they click checkout, create a checkout entry. when payment is initiated, create an entry in the order table. here checkout needs to have replica of the order structure. this seems to duplicate lot functionality
using cart+checkout(combined), order table: cart table will have items selected by the user. when they click checkout, checkout stages will be stored in same table. this is similar to the magento sales_flat_quote table. when payment is initiated, a final order entry is created in order table.
I am not clear about the pros and cons for the above ways. What is the standard approach?
And any references regarding the same.
There are multiple ways of doing it. Antonio Melé has a great approach outlined in his book "Django 3 By Example"
They have the book's myshop app repository public on Github.
The book outlines having 2 apps (cart, order).
Order has two models- Order, OrderItems
Cart doesn't have any model. It saves the added items to the django session. Checkout the carts.py file.
In addition, I personally used a Shipping app to manage variable delivery charges.
I tried to develop a Shopify application and I needed to bundle some products and sell those together with the special discount values.
There are some apps like product-bundle but I need bundling product in my app.
I tried to create one product similar to them and after the purchase completed I delete it but I think it's not a good solution because this product will be shown to shop and other customers can purchase that while I want to offer this product to a certain customer only.
In another way, I tried to use Shopify discount but can't satisfy my need or maybe I can't find true ways.
How can I do that?
There are multiple ways in which you can handle this.
1) Create a product itself:
Create a single product indicating a combination of your desired multiple products and combination of your price.
When the customer adds all the related products, detect it from cart webhook and update the cart of the customer by removing such products and adding the single product(i.e combination of all products).
2) Create a discount code: Create a discount code with your desired discount amount for each combo. Detect the products in the cart by cart webhook, if combo products found automatically apply the coupon to the cart.
I wanted to display the best selling products in the left column of the prestashop website. Installed best sellers modules and assigned it to the left column but still it dosent display the products in the left tab. Unable to figure out where the mistake is.
For showing Best Sales there is a Prestashop native module blockbestsellers, so this module looking data from ps_product_sale table in database, if this is empty, there is no results and this is why you cant see nothing.
Check ps_product_sale, and if its empty Execute this SQL this for test if you see some result so there is.
INSERT INTO ps_product_sale
(`id_product`, `quantity`, `sale_nbr`, `date_upd`)
VALUES 1, 1, 1, NOW());
Also check classes/ProductSale.php there is some methods to add and get Best Sales Products.
I hope it helps.
I believe Best selling products and Top selling products have different functions.
Best-selling products - by PrestaShop
Adds a list of the best-selling products to the Stats dashboard.
Top-sellers block - by PrestaShop
Adds a block displaying your store's top-selling products.
I have top selling and best selling products installed on my prestashop.
Top selling products is the one that is supposed to show the products on front end.
The best seller block will appear in the back office dashboard.
You can hook Top-sellers block to left column and it will show the best sellers on your site.
