I am building my own website and want to use Shopify for some backend services. For example, I’d like to use the Shopify API to track my customers, orders, products, etc. I am NOT actually building a site using Shopify.
My questions:
-
What tools and dashboards are available to me use in this manner?
-
The API documentation states it allows up to 40 requests per minute. This is horrendous. What am I not understanding?
-
What are the different tiers of an API account?
-
What are the SLAs? Are the number of requests per minute different with different tiers?
-
What is the tier pricing? (I will be making REST calls - NOT GraphQL)
-
How much is everything going to cost me with using Shopify in this manner?
I cannot find answers to these questions anywhere.
