Automate wholesale price list CRUD

Retired Boards Appdev Partners Discussion

Hi shopify devs,

We until recently had wholesale over e-mail orders and manually process them. Introducing shopify wholesale sales channel was a big step up, although now we now have to manually upload and change price list csv files for every customer whenever there is a price change or a new customer joins shopify wholesale. Since the goal is to have several hundreds of shopify wholesale customers, manually doing the work becomes impossible.

We have an automated way of creating shopify customers so I am looking for a way to upload csv file price lists to a wholesale sales channel and link it to an existing shopify customer. For now i have tried to create a golang headless browser setup, but ran into issues with multiple frameworks when attempting to access a price list by its css selector. I would gladly welcome any suggestions or other methods to do this.

Thank you,

Viktor

Hi Viktor,

Did you ever find a way to achieve this? I have a similar need to somehow update individual customer pricelists which are fed by the companies ERP system. I know there are the standard API calls, but at 4 queries per second, this is not a workable solution for a product list containing 10k+ products.

Thank you

Hey,

unfortunately no. We went ahead and got an external app on top of shopify, which is Spark Layer. They have various customer specific pricing methods and have an API for it as well.

Hope this helps,

Cheers

Thank you for the reply! It’s a bit of a shame that even Shopify Plus needs an extra app to achieve functionality I would have thought was mandatory for a B2B sales site.

Shopify, if you’re there, your pricelist functionality is great and all but it needs to be exposed in the API.
