I am trying to transfer an e-commerce website to Shopify and was wondering if anyone has had experience creating orders with Shopify API? There are some 3rd party apps that provide such a service but none of them are working properly in my case.
You can import orders to your Shopify store using this API call: https://help.shopify.com/api/reference/order#create
If your a developer trying to do this you can just setup a simple, local run application, that would do this for you, I'm a developer but also run a Shopify website and do something similar with Ruby.
If you an end user the only option you really have is to hire someone to build a private app for you, depending on what excatly you need to achieve its not overly difficult.

There is lots of help out there..
With Shopify API you can create customers and Orders, Here orders can be created through the API, but no payment information will be collected, and no transaction performed. You can mark the order with any payment status.
For details, you can check Shopify Orders API
https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference/orders/order
Also, along with orders, you can import Customers using Customers API endpoints i.e
https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference/customers
And also can update the Status of your newly imported orders to fulfillment using

I have created a Shopify Store which needs to contact another outside web service to send a query and then build the products based on the query response data.
Is it possible to do with Shopify?
If yes, then how should I go about implementing it?
I have tried looking into the docs but it seems like the only option is to connect with Admin API to add products. However, I don't want to store product data but instead rely on the API.
You do want to use Admin API calls. The reason is simple. They let you create products in Shopify, in bulk. Why fight the power! Using the Admin API has nothing to do with storing products, not sure why you're afraid.
So you get your product info from wherever, format it into Shopify-compatible data, inform Shopify of your data, and sit back and relax. The bulk building is really quite simple for a pattern. You can also build yourself a CSV to import where you also format the data to be compatible with Shopify. So there are two options for you right there.
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'm using Marketplace API. I have all products and its offer. I just want to identify that which offers are managed by FBC. I have read all documentation of cdiscount API but did not find any way from that we can identify that specific offer is managed by Cdiscount or not.
Let me explain you via example, I'm currently working on integration stuff. Now, Our system is partially integrated with cdiscount. In which we have all ours products, offers, sales and etc.
Now, I have a case that I want to update the stock of specific offer by calling API (SubmitOfferPackage). As I know that I can not update the inventory of that product which is handled or managed by Cdiscount. So, I want to update inventory of all product that was managed/handled by me.
I'm using GetOfferListPaginated API to get all offers. There is no parameter in response message to identify that specific offer is managed by Cdiscount or not.
Any help would be much appreciated
I would like to get the Abandoned cart details from the Bigcommerce website using REST API.
Can anyone suggest how we can achieve this. I can able to get the orders and customers using their REST API.
Thanks
There's presently no API endpoints for the Abandoned Cart information. "Abandoned cart" is currently a purely core app function that has no exposure.
If you'd like to reference a company that has found a workaround, you can see something like Klaviyo.
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.
