Creating a customer interface on Shopify via AWS API Gateway

Hi everyone, 

For background : 
We are a manufacturing company and we also sell our own products online in Shopify. 
However, we do have high value products which customers can register their products to keep a record of authenticity. This is being done on a AWS (Amazon Web Services) system on the back end. 

What I would love to do is to have a customer facing page where they could log in, key in their registration for the statue and also have an overview. 

Please find an example below.

Hi @YogaBear  use metaobjects, also recently the free shopify-forms apps sends all it's entries to a metaobject.

https://changelog.shopify.com/posts/shopify-forms-submissions-stored-in-metaobjects 

⚠️shopify-forms aren't dynamic , nor do they have an api, but could work in some use cases. 

 

So a combination of metaobjects, form theme-customization, and an automation tool like usemechanic or shopify-flow is probably what's needed to send the info to yet another third party api. Unless you can roll your own middlewares.

Normally here if this was a frontend thing here I'd just say put it in an iframe.

But I don't get why your using AWS for a backend ,presumably also as a database???,  with no customer/public facing feature.

Unless maybe the intent all along was to eventually add a frontend access/api.

 

Regardless If you need this type of app automation, or theme customization then contact me by my email for services.
Contact info in forum signature.
ALWAYS please provide context, examples: store url, theme name, post url(s) , or any further detail in ALL correspondence.

 

Good Hunting.

We currently have a Lambda function running on the back end to receive information, but we need to know how to get Shopify's form to send this information to the Lambda function.
