How can I integrate a Django website with an ecommerce platform?

[isash123]

Hi All,

I am new to Shopify so please pardon my ignorance, if I ask a stupid question. 

So far I have setup an external Django website, which let's user enter their details. 

When the user press "Add to cart" button, I want all of these details to be passed onto Shopify and product added to Cart. 

If this user completes the transaction, I want all of these details returned to my Django website. 

Could anyone please guide me how I can do this.

Thank you in advance,

Kind regards,

Shashank

Hi, @isash123!

Welcome to our platform and our community.

Thank you so much for sharing your question with us. I'd love to help guide you to make the best decision for your business.

It sounds like you need to keep your existing website, but are looking to implement e-commerce functionality into it? If so, that is entirely possible with the use of a Buy Button. 

So what exactly is a Buy Button? It lets you add products to external websites by embedding code. This allows users to shop on your existing website, without having to leave for checkout. If the Buy Button is new to you, then you must have a tone of questions that are answered in our FAQ page. 

Since this transaction occurs on Shopify, the details of each order will be synced to your Shopify Admin, as opposed to your other site. Does this sound like a solution that would work for you? Let me know and we can definitely explore it further together.

Warm regards,

Hi @Olivia ,

Thank you for your message. And apologies for not coming back earlier. 

I have managed to add a Buy Button, but not able to pass private attributes to this button. 

These private attributes would include the details what User entered in the form on my existing website. 

Are you able to advise, if and how I can include additional bit of data to Buy button, so it can be returned back to me with Shopify Webhook response. 

Thanks,

Shashank

Thanks for the reply, @isash123.

This is not a built-in capability of the Buy Button, however, I now invite our Partners and code experts to lend their advice on if something like this can be accomplished.

Furthermore, I invite you to connect with our Experts for customized assistance with your needs.

Warm regards,
