We've been asked to implement a function in a similar way as ‘Claps’ on medium.com articles (https://medium.com/@iamcodefoxx/how-to-upload-and-preview-an-image-with-javascript-749b92711b91)
- in Medium’s case, the user has a click-input that they can click multiple times to reflect the level of appreciation for a page / blog post - rather than FB’s simple Y/N thumbs-up ‘Like’ button that you simply like or don’t. Once pledged, the total ‘moves’ count for the page should update.
Every blog post (and other key pages) are to include this ‘moves’ count so we’ll need to write the running totals to a database.
We're new to Shopify and don't know where to start so wanted some advice on how best to approach this.
Would we implement this as an external stand-alone JavaScript app and integrate it into the website? Or is there some way we can extend Shopify and store this additional information in the Shopify database?
Thanks,
Tom
