Amazon Web Services Product Advertising API - e-commerce

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

Closing Shopify online store sales channel after moving to storefront API

I recently changed a Shopify store to use a separate SPA using the storefront API. However the old 'online store' is still running as a separate website with some theme plugins etc. I'd like to remove this sales channel now that I'm using a custom app and the storefront API so that customers aren't confused as to why there are two websites running concurrently. However, when going to remove my online store, Shopify prompts me with an 'are you sure' modal that contains a warning that I won't be able to publish products and that they will send a request to a developer to delete personal customer information.
Obviously this is not what I want as the store is still running through storefront API and I still need everything on the Shopify admin side to remain intact and running. I tried getting support from Shopify about it but they just pointed me in the direction of the developer documentation. It's not really clear what impact deleting this sales channel would have? Any advice from someone who's done something similar would be greatly appreciated.

Any Amazon API available to read the product user reviews and post the sellers reply by Product?

I am looking for an API that gets the Amazon product user reviews and posts the seller response by product name/Id.
For example - Google play review provides API - Ref: https://developers.google.com/android-publisher/reply-to-reviews
Before post a question here I had some below research but I didn't find the expected answer.
Is there an Amazon.com API to retrieve product reviews?
Amazon product API capabilities (user reviews)
https://rapidapi.com/
Amazon Product API
Retrieve Amazon Reviews for a particular product
https://webservices.amazon.com/paapi5/documentation/
Checked the highlighted line
good morning,
I have the same need as you. I found the same links
I chose the Product Advertising API solution:
https://webservices.amazon.com/paapi5/documentation/operations.html
but to test these api, you need to have a seller account and register for the api to get access.
the problem with this api is that it does not allow you to respond to reviews, questions and comments. it just allows you to retrieve product data.
If you find a complete solution, please share it with us.
I will continue my study and I will do the same if I find a solution.
Regards,
Lotfi.

How can I make a new order/transaction done through the API show on the Square app

Online I allow customers to order, this causes an Order With Line Items to be uploaded and associated with a Transaction - that works great, exactly as I had hoped. The problem is that there is no notification on the Square App to let my operators know that there is a new order that has been paid.
As of right now, I have the workaround of texting the workers, but I feel like there should be an easy way to push this up to the app - what am I missing? Is this possible?
I am not using an online store, just the API. Thank you.
Unfortunately, sending order confirmation to the Point of Sale app from an API payment isn’t currently available for Square’s API.
We are constantly improving the product based on feedback like this, so I’ll be sure to share your thoughts with the API team.

BigCommerce Requirements to "Join the Technology Partner Program"

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.
Cheers - John

Customer Hierarchy in Shopify

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
