I want to create a product comparison website that will show the products from different websites and will compare them. For this, I have Amazon Product advertising API (AWSAccessKeyId, Associate Tag and Secret Access Key). I am new to this API. How can I get all the categories of products provided by amazon.com, so that I can pick each and every item from this site. Currently I am using this url:
http://webservices.amazon.in/onca/xml?AWSAccessKeyId=my_key&AssociateTag=my_tag
&BrowseNodeId=1&Operation=BrowseNodeLookup&ResponseGroup=BrowseNodeInfo&Service=AWSECommerceService&Timestamp=my_timestamp&Version=2011-08-01&Signature=my_sign

i know we can create a store on amazon to sell our products. is there any api or method for getting the product list of my store through API call ?
I am working on an e-commerce website similar to E-bay or Amazon, where sellers can list their products.
I have also created a Shopify Sales Channel for my e-commerce website, which can import products from Shopify. A Shopify store installs the Sales Channel App and their products will be imported to my e-commerce website.
All of this is working fine... now I want to build the last step, which is buy the product. A buyer comes to my e-commerce website and wants to buy a product which has been imported from certain Shopify store. I want to enable the buyer to create an order from my e-commerce website.
According to Shopify documentation:
By default, your app can provide checkout links to Shopify's web
checkout for each product. This lets your platform use Shopify's web
checkout instead of building your own native checkout form. You can
direct customers to a checkout link by using the web_url parameter of
the Checkout API.
This is what I want... I want to allow a buyer in my e-commerce website to create an order and redirect him to Shopify for payment... buy how can I actually implement this? Would I be able to implement this using Order API? And how could I redirect the user to Shopify store for payment?
If redirecting user to Shopify store for payment is not an option, then do I need to implement the payment process within my e-commerce using the Checkout API? Would anyone be able to give some details about this?
Use DraftOrder API to create an order. Once created it has the invoice_url attribute which can be used to pay and complete that order.
i want to develop a chrome extension to see stats for any store which develop in shopify, can i access any store products without API-Key and Password in shopify?
No, you cant access products json without using api-key or permanent token of the store.
But still you want to access the product details you atleast needs the handler of the product.
Lets say your store is "abc.myshopify.com" and handler of your product is "xyz", then you can product json of xyz by HTTP GET call in following url
https://www.abc.myshopify.com/products/xyz.json
in general
https://www.[storename]/products/[product-handle].json
You could try using the Shopify StoreFront API.
It allows to get information of your shop from from your own website or custom app. Although it doesn't need a API Password, it needs a Api Key that doesn't need to be a secret.
The documentation says this (the first point is the important):
Using the Storefront API, you can:
Fetch data about a single product or a collection of products to
display on any website or device.
Create unique checkout experiences
with full control over the shopping cart.
Create new customers or
modify existing ones, including address information.
Allow customers
to select unique product options.
There is no way shopify will provide store details (product list) without api authentication.
For your requirement, I would suggest to create a shopify app which will sync all product details to your storage and you can access data from there.
I am using results from one of my site on another site and clicks from that site also going to amazon using product advertising api
Do clicks from that site also count or not? is it legal?
Clicks should count as long as you are using the referral tag. Because the API in question doesn't take the refferer site domain as passing parameter. so, it tracks through the customer referral tag.
Some of the products we sell in our Shopify shop are third party downloads, which we resell.
So when a customer buys such a product in our shop, it activate a webhook once the order is paid. This webhook then order the product from the third party. This third party gives us a download link which we then email to the customer.
This works fine, but we would also like to show the download link at the customers account page, so they can log in, and then re-download any file they have previously bought. And here is the problem: How do we store the download links for each product, in a way we can show at the users account page?
The obvious solution would be to store the unique download link in the orders line_item but that is not supported by shopify(How do I update properties on a shopify line_item).
I'd use a meta field on the order. You could create a set of metafields from the order webhook to handle all the download links and then modify your theme to show them.
