Hi,
I am new to Shopify and don’t have much exposure as of now. Apart from the core feature, I want to create a custom feature signup and based on that signup need to see if a customer has purchased something during that time. How do I implement such a feature with Shopify? TIA
Hi Shashwat-Techno,
Great to hear you’re looking to build an app on Shopify. Here’s some parts of our API that you might be working with to set up a custom sign up and order feature:
Customer Signup: To handle customer signups, you can use the Customer API to create new customers, retrieve information about existing customers, and update customer records. You could also explore the Customer Account API which allows customers to view orders and more (however this API is currently in unstable for now).
Tracking Purchases: Shopify’s Order API can help you track customer purchases. When a customer makes a purchase, you can use the Order API to retrieve the order’s details, including the customer’s ID. This way, you can see if a customer has any purchases during a certain time period.
Webhooks: Shopify webhooks are a useful tool for keeping track of specific events a store. For example, you could set up a webhook that triggers every time an order is created. This could automatically notify your app each time a customer makes a purchase. Similarly, you can use webhooks to get notified when a customer signs up.
I’d recommend reading the linked docs above to help you get started building out your app. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi @Liam ,
Thank you for the response. I’ll check these out and see if they fulfill my requirements. I’ll come back in case I have any more questions or doubts.
