Why is a Transfers API not available - even as read only? I and MANY, MANY others have asked and received deafening silence. It is maddening. A couple of things I could do with it are:
Report on oversold products where there isn’t any incoming stock so I know to order it.
Export transfer data to attach to a purchase order I raise in my accounting system.
Neither of these require anything more than read only access. There is already an unsupported JSON API at /admin/transfers.json
This is has been asked for repeatedly and even hinted that it was coming in 2016. Seriously? Transfers are a great idea but not if you can’t access the data!
We could unlock a lot of new scenarios with this API.
I thought Shopify might be waiting to release multi-location, but that it’s been released for several months, what’s stopping the release of the transfers APIs?
And here we are the end of 2019 and this simple task is still not done. You can even see it within products now but still can’t even access through liquid as well.
All we want guys is variant.incoming_inventory… DO IT
I am so angry with Shopify. Where is the live chat in support these days? Gone completely?
I desperately need my developer to run some back order reports showing delivery ETA on incoming orders and we cannot do this without access.
Shopify doesnt even have ANY reports so how the hell are you supposed to use this “transfer”
I wanted to enter our purchases so we could - at a glance - see all the products we are waiting for from a supplier. Pretty obvious and basic - and should be a feature within shopify.
So if it isn’t - at least allow developers to do your job for you?
So angry - as now I cannot see the point in spending the time entering the products purchased as I am sure it will lead to more confusion when we have to keep clicking into orders finding products etc.
Any updates on this?
With the roll-out of the Fulfillment Network is very hard to integrate without an inbound transfer.
How could we get this API available?
Since I’m new to this issue and just to confirm that I’m not missing something, I reached out to developers of a high-ranking app, Excelify, who have an app that exports and imports “everything” about your shop, orders, inventory, etc., to see if their app was able to access this “transfers” or incoming purchase orders information. For the record, I received the following reply:
Renars here from Excelify.
At the moment, Shopify API does not allow apps to access and see this data, so we are not able to export it.
I have added your contact details for this feature in our Customer Needs list so that once Shopify allows this and we have it developed, we can let you know.
