I have been studying the API Web Service that Prestahop offers, but this API can only be used for manage the shop, not for the users login and buy items , check it's accounts, etc.
Exist some API in which you can get an access token for authentication to use in the API calls and buy items, check account state, find products, etc to use for example to make an app for the shop.
Thanks in advance.

1.What is the major difference between Shopify partner and Shopify admin?
2.How to connect both?
3.Reason behind 2nd question is
only in partner site we can see the status of API health and
I can only see order/customer/product details in Shopify admin not in partner. In my use case I want to see order/customer/product details and also want to test GDPR webhooks. How it is possible?
A partner account can be created on https://en.shopify.hk/partners. When you create a Shopify Partners account, you gain access to a Partners dashboard, and you will become a Shopify Partner. By creating a partner account, you would become an admin of the partner account will be able to:
Create Development Stores: those are stores that you can create for free and use them to develop new Shopify themes, apps etc. Development stores do not have a monthly recurring hosting fees. However, they are password protected, and cannot accept any form of payments as the purpose is to either develop and/or test themes and apps. After setting up a development store, you can also change it to a Managed Store by transferring ownership of the store to a client who will then pay for the hosting, and make the store functional. This client will then become the admin of the store.
Create Managed Stores: those are stores that you create to sell; you pay a monthly hosting fees depending on the pricing plan you select, and users will be able to make payments through those stores.
Develop public/custom/private apps.
Link to specific stores: if you want to update the code on another merchant's store, which you did not create, you can click link the store by adding a Managed Store, then input their store URL, and send them a Collaborator Access Request. Upon accepting your request, their store would appear in your partner dashboard and you can access their store dashboard to see orders, customers etc. On the list of stores in the partner dashboard, you will see a Log In link to login to the dashboard of each store individually.
Add members: you can add members to your Partner Dashboard and give them different roles, and access to specific stores linked to your partner account. This way, if you want multiple developers to work on a store you have access to, they can access those stores (although the store owner will not know who is accessing, they would only know that it's being accessed by your partner account specifically).
For each store linked to your partner account, you will see whether it is a Development Store, or if it's a Managed Store, you will see the plan chosen. For Managed Stores, you can also click on Actions and completely Remove access for yourself by unlinking your partner account from the store.
On the other hand, a Shopify admin account refers to an administrator account specific to a store. For example, if you own a store, you would be the store admin. Each store can only have one admin, and a selected number of staffs. The Basic Shopify plan can only have two staffs. However, each store can have unlimited collaborators which mean, each store can be linked to multiple Partner accounts. Partner accounts only gain access to what the store administrator provides them access with. When you send them a collaborator request, it asks you if you would like to request access to everything, or only specific parts of the store, such as themes/apps only.
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'm trying to create a shop that requires paid membership to use. I love what Shopify has to offer. Is it possible (with their API or by using an existing app) to force users to purchase a membership before they can access the store?
It is trivial to do if you can setup a subdomain and use Stripe. No one gets into Shopify without having an account, and no one gets an account except through you. Once they buy a membership via your Stripe form, you create their Shopify account, and send them their invite to use the Shop.
Nothing could be simpler...
We offer an additional checkout option for our merchant partners (similar to PayPal).
Customers can checkout by selecting our checkout button on the checkout page; these customers must have already registered with us and added a credit card to their account.
We offer two options for Merchants to integrate with us:
API (web services) or
Form (POST).
When a customer checks out by selecting our button, the following steps occur:
customer is presented with a login dialog to be authenticated
if successful and order is approved (by our back-end system), the customer is notified of this on the dialog box (web service) or form (hosted; then sent back to the merchants site).
the order in the merchants site is updated with the success status and with the customers billing/shipping information from our system.
Does Shopify have APIs that will allow us to do the steps above?
There's no direct API to do this.
Shopify uses (a version of) ActiveMerchant for all payment processing services, both on-site (e.g. Stripe) and off-site (e.g. Paypal). If your service is integrated into ActiveMerchant, it can be integrated into Shopify.
HOWEVER:
Just being integrated into ActiveMerchant doesn't guarantee Shopify inclusion. We already integrate with many payment services, so any new offering must also be attractive on a business level as well as sound on a technical one before we'd consider adding it.
