Main issue: A new Shopify merchant wants to integrate a supplier’s API (Application Programming Interface) to create a dropshipping catalog, but can’t find options to create apps or “install” the integration. A supplier-provided screenshot is referenced (image is relevant for API details).
Key guidance: The integration requires creating a custom app in Shopify. Beyond importing the catalog, the app should handle inventory synchronization and order forwarding.
Alternative solution: If the supplier allows installing third-party apps, consider using Syncerize (Shopify app link provided) to manage the connection.
Status/outcome: No implementation steps or resolution confirmed in the thread. Next actions are either build a custom app to use the supplier’s API or attempt integration via Syncerize, depending on supplier compatibility. Unanswered: specific setup steps, permissions to create apps, and exact API endpoints/authentication from the supplier.
Hi
I’m new to Shopify, and are still learning.
However I can not find out how I install API integration from a website. I got no options when trying to create apps.
I want to install this so I can create a dropship website/items from another site.
I got this from the supplier, see below. How do I install this?
Thank you so much in advance.
Kind regard
Hi,
The only way to do it is create a custom app and implement the catalog creation in your custom app. There are more thing than just import of catalog, like inventory synching, order forwarding.
If your supplier is open for installing an app, try https://apps.shopify.com/syncerize
or let me know if you want to implement custom app, I can help you with it as well
