Hello everyone,

I'm quite new to app development world.

Our suppliers need our Shopify website to provide order API interface to extract order information for their ERP system. What should I do? thank!

Hi @tiansecartridge 

One simple way would be to create a private app with necessary access scopes for orders (and / or other scopes) and provide your ERP merchant with the apps API key / password so they can periodically query and import orders or whatever they need.

 

Hope this helps!

Hi Karl, 

Is it possible to do this in reverse? Our supplier has provided their API settings and I need to connect to their inventory and display their items on my site. 

Thank you!
