Purchase Order Public API

[tianhong]

Hi! 

We try to build intelligent tool to help user management their PO on top of shopify, wonder is there a public api for purchase order as of Sep 2022? 

And noticed that there are several shopify apps that enhance PO experience within shopify portal. Can we get a gist of how to develop those apps? 

Thanks

Hi @KB77 , thanks for the info!! 

One question: 

From the API doc, it looks like the app would require subscription to Shopify POS pro plan. Would it be possible to use it without the plan? 

[KB77]

The subscription requirements are here for that App https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/sell-in-person/shopify-pos/inventory-management/stocky

[tianhong]

There are custom apps like https://apps.shopify.com/simple-po that can simplify purchase order managements within shopify portal.

they can be used without the subscription to pro plan, are there tutorials / documents of how this can be done> ?

Hi @tianhong , there are no Shopify tutorials for this that I am aware of. I can pass it on as a request to our teams internally. For the moment the best option is likely to be continue using the forums and any available third party resources. Best of luck with the development. -K

Hey Shopify team,
In an ideal situation, we developers call API to retrieve purchase orders from the software's official API doc. But, here Shopify didn't give any of the purchase order rest API, which creates problems for us. No one wants to use any third-party app or something to work with their application. 

Please consider this issue as a high priority for your development team. We are looking forward to your support Shopify team.
