I set up a development shop on Shopify to test webhooks. I'm using this for proof of concept to update an external system whenever a product changes within Shopify. All seemed to be working as intended until I tried using the bulk product edit feature(the tool, not the csv import). I'm not receiving any webhook posts on bulk update.
I have several webhooks set up for various triggers, and they are all seemingly working. The product/update webhook works if I edit the product or its inventory individually, but not if I use the bulk edit tool.
I actually had 2 separate product/update webhooks going to 2 separate URLs, but I removed one of them just to be sure that wasn't causing any conflicts. I also tried chat support on Shopify, but they actually referred me here.
I really need for this to work as I'm not being given enough time to develop an API app to accomplish this.
Thanks for bringing this up! Those webhooks should now fire consistently when using the bulk editor.

I need to create a solution for altering the checkout process.
Better said, I need to add some functionality to it with a remote app (I am not sure if this is the right way to do it).
Mainly, what is needed represents a process that calls an external API, using a private API key from a delivery company, that registers a pick-up from the buyers house and sends the product to our headquarters.The process should be started when the user completes the entire checkout system from shopify, after payment.
After that, some AWB should be returned to the users checkout page, or some response regarding the creation of the pick up.
My question is, let's say, using some language like javascript with node and Koa or express, how one can achieve that? I can't find any tutorials or something that would help me do this.
I would like to create a Shopify app that adds an additional section to the checkout page - a possibility to select the delivery time window. I know that such apps already exist but I want to use my own application server to generate the values that can be selected.
What is the best way to approach this? I've spent last 2 days browsing shopify documentation and following various tutorials but I'm still confused. I thought that application bridge would be the way to go but after playing with it a bit it seems that it only allows to embed application frame in the admin panel, not on the checkout page.
Should my app send a script tag that would call my server and add the whole slot selection UI in javascript? Or should I maybe modify the templates somehow? Can I even make AJAX requests to third party servers from templates?
I would appreciate any advice.
Shopify revealed that there will be a Checkout Apps support soon, but that time isn't now.
So at the moment the Checkout page is standalone and you can't use the ScriptTag API in it.
If you are on a Shopify Plus account and you contacted Shopify to allow you to modify the checkout.liquid file you will be able to add your section manually.
With some additional JS logic you can pass the delivery time to the cart.attributes so that it will be present in the order info. But that's pretty much what you can do and only if you have a PLUS account.
If you plan to make larger modifications you will have to create an App that will have a custom checkout process... which will be a huge overkill for adding a single section, but that's a solution as well.
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 bought a shopify plus to customise my checkout page -add some html and JS to the checkout template- and I read this in the shopify documentation :
If you're on Shopify Plus, then you can edit the code for your checkout. However, if you make changes to your checkout code, then you need to upgrade your checkout.liquid template manually whenever Shopify makes an upgrade.
and I was wondering If it's possible to create an App to do that for me.
I mean :
1-Create an app to modify the checkout page.
2-After each update my app modify it automatically or at least I just re install my app and the checkout will be updated.
I already have shopify plus and managed to do that by modifying the checkout.liquid.
But It's not really an efficient way to change the checkout.liquid each time might be ok for one user but what if I want to do the same for a lot of shopify users for example.
It's a Basic concept making a plugin in other ecommerce platforms such as Prestashop, Magento ... But It seems really complicated in Shopify.
Please Help.
If you're on Shopify Plus, then you can edit the code for your
checkout. However, if you make changes to your checkout code, then you
need to upgrade your checkout.liquid template manually whenever
Shopify makes an upgrade.
This statement means that whenever Shopify introduces some changes on their end in the Checkout process they will notify you prior to update. 30 days prior as far as I know so that you can update and test. They will provide you details for changelog so that you can verify if it does break any of your customizations. Such changes are not frequenet and I cannot think of any automated way that your app will be able to analyze the changelog and decide if it affects your customizarions or not.
Since most of your changes will be in additional JavaScript it won't be much of an effort for you and will not be as frequent.
However, if you manage many stores for multiple Shopify plus customers then you may push an update manually to all stores that have your APP installed and make use of Assets API to modify checkout.liquid file.
For example, if Shopify notifies you that Checkout code is changed and you need to update it. Just review the changelog, then initiate a process on your APP backend that updates the new code to all chekout.liquid files on all the stores where your app is installed.

I just released that Xero API do not support create, update and delete for repeating invoice. They seems to only support read...
In my company, we are building a CRM website and having the ability to manage repeating invoice would be a GREAT help. This feature is a core feature for us and it would save us a lot of time and man power.
Someone knows if this feature would come someday or if you have a workaround?
Regards
You can retrieve (GET) repeating invoices via the Xero API, but creating and updating (PUT/POST) are not currently supported.
Upvote the feature suggestion to show your support.
