Hello,
I am new to Shopify coding and I am building an API that stores a list of items of a certain email user.
I would like to send a post request to my API with the details of the order including the email and items included.
Is this possible to do after they checkout? if so please direct me to the documentation about approaching this.
Thank you
Yes, it is possible to send a POST request to your API with the details of an order, including the customer’s email and the items included, after a customer completes a checkout on your Shopify store.
One way to accomplish this is to use Shopify’s webhooks. Webhooks allow you to receive notifications when certain events occur on your store, such as when an order is created or when a customer checks out.
To set up a webhook, you’ll need to:
Create a new webhook in your Shopify store’s admin panel by navigating to Settings > Notifications.
Select the “Order creation” event and the “POST” format.
Enter the URL of your API endpoint where the POST request should be sent.
Save the webhook.
After you have set up the webhook, it will send a POST request to the specified URL whenever an order is created on your store. The payload of the request will include details about the order, such as the customer’s email, the items included in the order, and other information.
You should then handle the incoming webhook requests to extract the data from them and insert them into your database

As you are new to Shopify coding, it might take some time to get a hand of it. Keep in mind that Shopify’s developer documentation is a great resource and should be your first point of reference when you have any questions or run into any issues.
