I have a client who wants to setup a customer hierarchy in Shopify.
Essentially customer 1 thru 10 each with unique emails would belong to Company A and all 10 customers could see orders from the company.
Searched everywhere and haven't found any good resources. Any ideas?
I really appreciate the help.
Default shopify is not providing this type of feature.
Shopify is hosting base e-commerce solution providers so direct modification is not possible.
You need to create the app for this functionality.
Here is the admin api document link with help of that you can develop your app

I would like to discuss with you about a solution for an issue I`m having.
I have a marketplace, I want to allow Shopify sellers to sell on my marketplace.
I`m looking for the best solution to export the Shopify sellers products & Collections in a feed. I want to make this whole process to be automatic as possible. I dont want the sellers to have to deal with all the technical stuff.
Also, a feature the solution must contain is - I need to map the field once, to map the Shopify categories to my marketplace categories.
Do you know any solution, app or something that can help me?
For making your system automatic you can take reference about shopify webhooks Shopify webhooks
and you can take reference regarding listed public app marketplace solution on shopify
What I intend to do is to keep my website with the CMS that I have in place for 12 years because last year I've redesigned it and I've even implemented a very nice AMP version.
To my existing site which includes also product pages, I would like to integrate an ecommerce solution and the one that I like the most is Presta Shop.
Rather than migrating the content to Presta Shop, I want to just bring the stock, price, quantity and add to cart to the existing site via php by calling Presta Shop and fetching specific product IDs.
Is this possible?
So far I didn't find anything about how could this be achieved.
I've read that it could be done in Magento, but nothing for Presta Shop.
Grateful if you have any insights on this.
Many thanks,
Mihai Bocsaru
You have few options, you can use PrestaShop API via Webservice, you can also create your store in some subdirectory and copy layout from your current website
Third option would be to have PrestaShop installation on the same server and just get all the information data from its database, of course entire checkout process should be handled via PrestaShop, this is why most common scenario is to just use website layout with proper e-commerce addition, downside of those two options is that you'll have two administration panels but i guess it's not that big issue
Thank you, Krystian!
I've presented the client the benefits of having the Presta Shop run on its own folder or sub-domain, but he wants it within the site.
We might have to integrate Presta Shop ecommerce options that I've mentioned on this topic within the current web pages and adjust the look and feel of the checkout pages to match the site layout (registration, login, checkout etc.).
I will consider involving you in settings this up.
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 want to write an app for BigCommerce.
On the BigCommerce developer website, it says
"Before you begin, you’ll need a sandbox store. BigCommerce offers app developers free sandbox stores through its Technology Partner Program. To get your sandbox store, apply to become a BigCommerce Technology Partner. To be approved as a partner, you will need:
A website.
The ability to support users of your app."
I have written code to modify themes using trial stores in the past without being a partner. (That is not what I am trying to do here, I did that in the past. I am trying to write an app, ANY app. I made the statement about modifying themes with a trial store to emphasize the fact that I know that I can do that and I am assuming that the sandbox store has other capabilities like the ability to access the control panel code.) As far as I can see, an app will need to integrate with the control panel code that I cannot see from just having a store. So, I am assuming that the sandbox store issued when approved as a partner will have this capability.
I sent an email to BigCommerce asking about the approval requirements and their reply was this.
“you must prove that you are an application developer. This consists of a website where you showcase the functionality and current companies that are possibly using your app.
If you have issue with the requirement to be approved as a partner you will need to speak with the team that does the approvals. Partnersupport#bigcommerce.com”
This reply came from appstore#bigcommerce.com. Why wasn't my email forwarded to Partnersupport#bigcommerce.com to begin with so I could get a more comprehensive answer? I did forward it to them and I am still waiting for an answer.
I am confused about this requirement.
I want to write a BigCommerce app. Are they saying that I cannot write a BigCommerce app unless I have written a BigCommerce app before? Are they saying that I have to have written other apps in general? If I write a great app, why would it matter if it is my first?
After I write the app, I can set up a webpage for it and submit it for approval.
How can I "showcase the functionality and current companies that are possibly using your(my) app" when it is an app specifically written for BigCommerce?
I cannot write the app unless I understand how to integrate it with BigCommerce.
As far as I can see, I cannot understand how to integrate it with BigCommerce unless I am a partner.
Am I missing something here?
Is there some other way to approach this?
Sr Marketplace Mgr for BigCommerce here. I think there are a few items of clarification I can offer:
You do not have to have an existing BigCommerce app to be approved for a partnership. You do however need some evidence of your existing work. If you don't have a portfolio, website, or other examples of your development work, it's difficult for our Partners team to determine if you're a qualified developer.
Partner apps will not have access to modify the BC control panel or core code. Apps must use our public APIs to work with a BC user's data or settings. Any settings that are in the CP but not in our APIs can't be modified directly via an app.
Any storefront changes - such as an edit to a BC theme to display weight in two different units - would have to be done using HTML/CSS/JS in the theme itself. We don't have an API for programmatically changing a storefront theme at this time.
If any of your questions for BigCommerce involve your app or app development, you'll need to direct them to my team at appstore#bigcommerce.com. Directing questions regarding your app to partnersupport#bigcommerce.com will be forwarded to my team. That channel is primarily for questions around the Partners program in general, and won't be able to provide detailed support on the app developer program.
Hopefully this clears up some of your confusion, please reach out to me at appstore#bigcommerce.com and I'll be happy to respond myself if you need more info.

I'm thinking about making an affiliate site for the Amazon PAPI. I'm wondering how the AssociateTag plays into the getting paid part. If I have a link on my affiliate site, let's say:
http://www.amazon.com....&AssociateTag=XXX
Somebody clicks on that, gets sent to the page for that item, and buys it, then I g get paid? Is it really that simple? Can't seem to find this information.
The dev API talks about remote shopping carts but I'd like to avoid that if possible. Thanks in advance,
Noah
