Hi
Please add a link or something that can be used to get purchase orders from Shopify. I only need for read-only access.

It would be very helpful if someone reply to this.

I looked into this as well - it seems that there is currently (1 Oct 2024) no API or webhooks to deal with Purchase Orders or Supplier Records at all.

Does anyone have any different info?

Hello,

are there any updates on this request?
I need exactly the same api endpoint with read-only access and i didnt find any

solution for this. I think the stocky app uses a similar endpoint so i hope there is

an endpoint?
Thanks for you help.

Best regards
