Integrating Shopify API to sell construction products on my site – need guidance

Technical Q&A

Hi Shopify Community,

I run a building material and construction related website that provides daily cement price updates and construction material insights.

I want to expand my site to sell construction-related products through Shopify and earn a commission or share of the sales (affiliate or drop shipping model).

I’m exploring the best Shopify API integration so that:

  1. Product listings and prices from Shopify appear directly on my website
  2. Orders placed on my site are synced with Shopify
  3. I can earn a percentage of sales without manually managing inventory

My questions are:

  1. Which Shopify API endpoints are best for this (Product, Orders, or Storefront API)?

  2. Is there a recommended method to track commissions or affiliate percentages through API?

  3. Any examples of integrating Shopify with non-ecommerce informational sites?

  4. What’s the best approach to maintain SEO and fast indexing while embedding Shopify products on my website?

I’d love guidance from anyone who has done Shopify API integration for product sales on an informational site like mine.

Here’s my website for context: https://cementsprice.com/

Thanks in advance for your insights!
