Hi everyone, I need your help.

I have to integrate suppliers like Makito and others into a customer’s Shopify store, but I’m not sure where to start. I need to create custom connectors to sync products, stock, and orders, but I’m not familiar with the best approach in the Shopify ecosystem.

Can you point me in the right direction?Specifically, I’d like to understand:

  • Which Shopify documentation I should study first

  • Whether I should focus on building a private app, custom APIs, or using middleware

  • Recommended courses or tutorials for learning how to develop supplier integrations on Shopify

  • Any best practices for handling product catalogs, variants, and stock updates from external providers

Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
