Show External Products via API?

Hello! I want to build a shop and find the right shop-system for me. For this particular shop, we‘re getting the product information from an external party. So it‘s not like I save them via UI. It‘s more that I want to call an API URL, get the products and then display them in the shop.

Or get the products, save the product data in the shopify store and repeat this process once a day. And daily I either edit already saved products and create new ones.

Is that possible?

Hey, I would suggest the second method so that customers can also buy the products.

It is possible that your PIM already supports Shopify, mabey check for an integration.

Steps:

  1. Get Product Data

  2. Process Data: Format the data to match Shopify’s product structure.

  3. Update Shopify Store: Use Admin API to create or update products

Here are the Docs for the REST-API but you can also use GraphQL: Shopify-Rest
