Shopify API used for Authentication

This might sound like a basic question but I cannot find a clear answer for it anywhere. I’m helping a friend to start a web store and sell digital products. Shopify is a perfect platform for him as it seems.

But there is a crucial requirement - we planned to implement a desktop launcher/download manager for the products user bought in the store to make the process more streamlined.

  • Is it possible to log the user in via API and retrieve the list of products he bought in the store?

  • Is it possible to implement buying products via the 3rd party app?

Hi @yagudron

I am assuming you are a backend developer. Shopify is very rich with documentations.

  • Is it possible to log the user in via API and retrieve the list of products he bought in the store?

Yes. You need to get the customer order. Find the documentation here.

  • Is it possible to implement buying products via the 3rd party app?

Yes, definitely. You can create an order with this documentation here.
