POS Integration

[Kuno]

I am a POS software developer with a few thousand users in Canada and the US. Many of my merchants now want to integrate the system with a webstore, preferably Shopify. How do I upload inventory to a Shopify webstore and download the orders? Is the REST API the sole option? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @Kuno ,

You have a few options in order to achieve this

1) As mentioned, you can use the Shopify Admin API (https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api) to create products and inventory and to get orders. This API is available in both REST and GraphQL. 

2) You can import products and download orders using CSV files: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/import-export/import-products and https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/products/import-export/using-csv

3) You can check the Shopify App Store, there are other apps that use the Admin API for you to handle uploading products for you (https://apps.shopify.com/)
