This is my third year on shopify and I am doing a decent business right now on it, one of the eStores that I manage wants to connect some of the products, which is digital gift cards to an external API that generates due gift cards automatically, my question is is it possible to make it completely automated process using only shopify with no redirecting links.
Topic summary
Main issue: Automating delivery of digital gift cards on a Shopify storefront via an external API, fully within Shopify and without redirect links.
Key points:
- Original poster asks if a completely automated, no-redirect process is possible using only Shopify for external API–generated gift cards.
- One response states it’s not possible, without providing technical details.
- Multiple participants express the same need (gaming gift cards, automatic fulfillment) and request guidance on how to implement an external API.
- A specific constraint is avoiding apps/plugins due to concerns about site load speed.
Noise/irrelevant content:
- One off-topic message about playing hockey and personal traits.
- Another brief, unclear affirmation and an external link not central to the technical question.
Status and outcomes:
- No concrete solution, steps, or tools were provided.
- No consensus reached; the feasibility remains unanswered beyond a single “not possible” claim.
- Discussion remains open with key questions unresolved (how to integrate an external API within Shopify without redirects or third-party apps).
Interesting idea but I do not think it is possible
Hi! I like to play hockey game. I am a hockey player who loves the game. I’m a team player and a leader on the ice. I’m a hard worker and I strive to be the best I can be. I’m always looking for ways to improve my game and I’m constantly pushing myself to reach my goals. I’m also a great teammate and I’m always willing to help out my teammates.
I also want to add gaming gift cards to my shopify store automatically, but no idea for the external API for my site.
I agree, great game, I added it to myself too
I also want to add the same feature to my Shopify store. Can you guide me regarding this? I don’t want to use any app or plugin due to site load speed
