E-shop with API connecting to external database/warehouse

Product Development & Sourcing

Topic summary

A user is planning to launch an e-shop in the Czech Republic to sell game keys through API integration with external supplier warehouses. The workflow would be: customer orders → payment → API sends order to supplier → supplier provides key → e-shop delivers to customer.

Key Challenge:
The user needs to operate in Czech language and currency (CZK) while supplier databases are in English. They want to translate product information and set custom pricing without the API overwriting their localized modifications.

Suppliers Under Consideration:

  • CodeswholesaleCodeswholesale
  • Vaultvault
  • Genbagambadigital
  • Prepaidforge

Current Status:
The discussion remains unresolved. One participant inquired about progress with external API integration, but the original poster confirmed they haven’t found a solution yet. The main question—whether this setup is possible with Shopify—remains unanswered.

Hello,

I want to start my own e-shop to sell game keys.

I have found a few suppliers who operate credibly (I haven’t found any bad reviews or articles). They all offer to link the e-shop to their warehouse through their API, where I can upload products from the supplier’s database to the e-shop. In practice, it works roughly as the customer orders a game key on the e-shop and pays, the e-shop sends the information via the API to the “warehouse”, the warehouse sends the code to the e-shop and the e-shop sends the code to the customer.

At the same time I will sell in the Czech Republic and therefore in the Czech language and in Czech currency (CZK). This means I need to translate everything into Czech, set my own currency and price. At the same time, so that the API doesn’t overwrite my modified products (translated into Czech) with the original data from the supplier’s database (in English).

I am considering the following suppliers:
https://prepaidforge.com/
https://genbadigital.com/
https://www.vaultn.com/
https://codeswholesale.com/

Does anyone have experience with something like this?
Is it possible to set this up with Shopify?

Thank you. :slightly_smiling_face:

PS: Pokud je tu někdo česky/slovensky mluvící, můžeme komunikovat takto. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello. I’m just wondering if you managed to solve this and integrate with an external API.

Hello, I still haven’t solved it, unfortunately. I need to connect the e-shop via API with https://codeswholesale.com/.
