Currently I am using the Shopify app Oberlo with it's chrome extension to manually send over dropship orders one by one.
This works find but I have between 100 to 1000 orders daily during testing.
Can anybody recommend a way to automate this using either an API directly from AliExpress (which the affiliate API is all I have been able to find) or possibly a laravel wrapper integrated with Shopify that has the ability to post dropship orders automatically.
Much appreciated!
I've been looking for similar documentation on AliExpress and found the dropshipping subsection of their API:
Get Product Info: https://developers.aliexpress.com/en/doc.htm?docId=35321&docType=2
Place an Order: https://developers.aliexpress.com/en/doc.htm?docId=35446&docType=2
Get Tracking info from a previous order: https://developers.aliexpress.com/en/doc.htm?docId=40656&docType=2
Other less-common dropshipping APIs are available from the sidebar navigation of any of these.
It also appears that you have to register as a seller (even though you're just buying) to get access to these dropshipping API.
You'll have to build a shopify app that can receive your orders and turn around to place them on AliExpress. I haven't seen a tool that can place orders automatically without coding.

I would like to collect statistics about listed apps in Shopify Store, like number of listed apps, number of reviews for an app, installations, average rate, app category and so on without any private information about stores which have installed the application. I find several blogs which managed to collect such info but unfortunately they are without open code. Is there any way to reach such info through API or something?
UPD
I have found ready-made solution on github https://github.com/usernam3/shopify-app-store-scraper
You can use any open source web scraper to deal with that. Simply scrape the Shopify App store, and build your stats.
You need no API. Just scripting of your own device. Pretty basic stuff.
For a client i want to integrate a new way of renting products in Shopify which they pick right up after ordering from a pickup point. This new way is a service which can be interacted with via an API. After ordering, a code is provided which can be used to open a locker somewhere. In the shop, on a custom page or some sort of reusable block i want have a custom HTML form which can interact with this API. The customer can then choose the product, the available pickup-point, pay for his/her order and receive the code for pickup. Is this possible?
I have done research but could not find this type of customizing.
I have built some test-apps but it seems these can only be embedded in the admin and not in the storefront itself (please correct me if i am wrong). I can interact with the storefront-api so that's a plus allright.
The ideal way would be for me to develop a React/Vue app which can be added to a page for walking trough this process described above.
Anyway, is it possible one way or another?
Thanks in advance for thinking with me on this one!
Kindly please suggest me the best way to single page checkout for Shopify store. As Shopify doesn't support any customization to the checkout page. Our requirement is to create a single page checkout. let me know how it is achievable.
Basic Shopify does not support customization in the checkout page. It is only available to Shopify plus Customer. Please visit here for more information.
You want a single page checkout you may need to create your own checkout process which will again require your store to be a Shopify Plus store. However, there are many Apps which can help you with single page checkout. You may want to use one of them if you don't want to build the whole functionality. You may want to check the below conversation - Link
You should not use Shopify if you want to make your own Checkout. Shopify is a hosted platform and they no longer want to let people play with the cash register themselves.
Of the few Apps that remain that do offer checkout outside of Shopify, you can see the hassles involved for customers. Why not just roll your own? If you can do your own checkout, hook up to an open source system instead where you can do that easier.
This is easy enough to do if you have the skills. Basically create an app that has a proxy page and change the theme's links replacing the paths to the checkout with paths to your proxied checkout.
There are a number of ways to collect payment info if you do this including using the draft_orders api to send the customer back to Shopify for final payment (not applicable for single page checkout but sometimes works well with the business reason that justifies a custom checkout in the first place)
You can also create a sales channel app that works much like the proxied app concept but has some more api capabilities.
However you really need a good business reason for doing this. Single page checkout was fashionable a few years ago but I've had as many customers go away from it as go towards it. Shopify has done quite a lot of work on their checkout and it works well (i.e. is fast and efficient) on all their supported platforms. Creating a custom checkout means your stuck maintaining it and are potentially increasing your liability if you take credit cards but have not received PCI certification.
I am creating a custom integration with a third party part supplier to create products in their inventory in BigCommerce. I Need the ability to turn on google shopping for the products imported and add the MPN and category, but i don't see how to modify this in the API. If anyone has any feedback please let me know!
So, after contacting BigCommerce about this issue. The API does not have access to the Google shopping fields. Bummer. However as a workaround you can generate an import file with just product ids and the required fields listed in this nice tutorial. Follow the remaining steps in the guide to find the fields for the google shopping tab (they all start with GPS) and then add your values to a csv.
My script will actually generate the csv when a new product is added via the api, and send it to the client for upload. Which isn't too much of a hassle when inventory items do not change frequently.
I'm a developer and I'm working on my own Shopify app
at the moment. I wanted to ask is there ability to get Product
download URL using API or may be somehow accessing Shopify Delivery app API? I
tried, but it seems that I can not get any info about downloadable
products using API, usual set of data only, like for any other
products. Is it really so, and there is no way to get product download
link using API (product API or may be order API).
