Re: Unique user id from my mobile app in shopify order

Unique user id from my mobile app in shopify order

Hello,

 

When the user is redirected from my mobile app to shop (which cooperates with me), I pass UUID in that url.

If user purchased sth, I'd to pass that UUID to Order objects, so after some time I can check which items were bought thanks to my app - of course I can do it by shopify app.

 

So, can I achieve that? E.g. can "purchase paid" event be overrided by developer? Maybe some custom actions by ShopifyAPI can be added?

Hi @kylowrobelek 👋

With the Admin API, you should be able to update `customAttributes` or `metafields` for an order with the `orderUpdate` mutation to store a custom UUID as needed. If the order has already been closed, the `orderOpen` mutation can be used as well. 
 
Hope that helps!

Ok, but is there an option to do it by frontend side? E.g. I got UUID in a cookie and I want to pass it during Create Order Event.
