It's easier for us to get datasets from Shopify through creating and exporting Custom Reports than through pulling the individual data items through the API.
So what we do right now is Export several Custom Reports every day as CSV files we load into our accounting/ finance systems.
Is there a way to use the API to do the equivalent of Exporting a Custom Report?
I spoke directly to a dev team member at UBER who told me it is possible to use the API to perform a pickup at the customer location as opposed to a delivery. Will Shopify allow this sort of customization?
Hello,
We have found a possible bug with the USPS carrier-calculated shipping rates method.
We have created a development store at https://shipping-rates-issue.myshopify.com/ with only one product, a brick that weighs 1 lb:
Only the USPS carrier-calculated shipping method is enabled.
For testing purposes, the shop address is 350 5th Avenue, New York, NY, 10118, United States and the delivery destination is 150 Elgin Street, 8th Floor Ottawa, ON, K2P 1L4, Canada.
Everything works OK if less than 66 bricks are added to the shopping cart. If you add 66 or more, the USPS shipping rate is not available:
Surprisingly, if you configure the brick to weigh 10lb, the issue is not exhibited. You can add 10,000 ten-pound bricks but you cannot add 100 one-pound bricks.
Could you clarify if this is a bug? We have a customer with those shipping rules that is experiencing the issue.
On the other hand, if more shipping rates methods are configured (say USPS, UPS and FedEx), the checkout simply does not show USPS and shows the other shipping options (UPS and FedEx). However, the Ajax API /cart/shipping_rates.json method simply gives a generic error, not saying that UPS and FedEx are still available.
Kind regards,

Hey John,
Currently there isn't a payout webhook, you're right - as far as I know we don't have any plans to develop this at the moment. Keep an eye on our API announcement forums though, if there ever were to be such a thing we'd announce it in there!
Josh,
Thanks for responding. There is an economic value to enabling this. In other words, we would be willing to pay a price for the API addition to be moved up the priority queue for development, if that is an option.
Hello,
I am building a Shopify app on Visual Studio.
My app is suppose to pull data such as product names, SKU, costs, weights,etc.. from the stores that installs my app.
The extracted data then will go to a database.
My question is, how do I go about pulling the information and storing it into the database?
Does this process involve creating a webhook?
Also, has anyone done this before with VS and can lend me a hand?
The guides on the Shopify API page are mostly for Ruby on Rails and I am not good with converting the syntax of one program to another.
Thanks in advance.
Hey there,
Currently this isn't possible as far as I am aware, I would recommend creating a split-second pause in between your POST requests to make sure that you don't accidentally hit any throttles.
The class that I provided is the product.json in shopify.

Hey there,
At the moment this isn't possible, no - there isn't any API access to local pickup rates like this. Agreed it would be cool to allow it though! I'll bring it up, but there currently aren't any plans for anything like this.
Hi Mike,
That definitely sounds like an issue. I know Priority Mail International has a weight limit of 70lbs, so in both cases you brought up there is unexpected behaviour. I can only see a generic "no rates for your destination error" when I look behind the scenes, which isn't very helpful. Can you have your client create a ticket with our support team? You summed up the issue nicely here, so it might be worthwhile for them to include it in their email/call/chat.
Cheers,
Hi Andrew,
thank you very much for your quick response.
I am going to ask our client to create a ticket now, thanks again.
Kind regards,
Mike

Hi Thomas,
Outside using the ScriptTags API, you can add some customization manually from the admin in the shop's checkout settings. You can read about that here.

Hey,
I am getting following error while authentication:
Oauth error invalid_request: The redirect_uri is missing or not whitelisted
Previousle it was workinh fine with php
Now it is not working for both
my redirection url is http://localhost/shopify/
is that due to localhost? but previously was working with same url
Hi Larry,
Shopify currently does not have any such API. It's something we've explored, but there are no concrete plans to build this at the moment. If/when a custom reports API does come into fruition you can hear about it first in our API Announcements board.
Cheers,
Hey Santoor,
You're talking about Shopify Scripts, but ScriptTags are available for all plans.

Hi Andrew, how I can you contact you directly?
I'll provide all necessary info.
Or can you do it please by my email saha@gooten.com?
Hi Andrew,
Rather than throwing an error, the planned change resulted in a console warning instead, with plans for requiring a user gesture in the future.
Frame with URL 'example.com' attempted to navigate its top-level window with URL 'example.com'. Navigating the top-level window from a cross-origin iframe will soon require that the iframe has received a user gesture. See https://www.chromestatus.com/features/5851021045661696.
The link included in the warning has the proposed change, but it doesn't look like there's a release date. Since it will likely go live at some point, we still recommend implementing the changes outlined in the email you receieved.
Cheers
I agree with you, Sam :) We would love for Shopify to provide this data to enhance our profit tracking app.

It is intended that these orders do not fire an orders/paid webhook as the payment is not processed through Shopify.
You should subscribe to orders/create webhooks if you wish to receive notifications for Amazon orders.
Hi Farhan,
Applications which use the Sales Channel SDK appear in the merchant's admin as an option for publishing producs to these applications. These applications can also retrieve the list of products that the merchant has decided to publish to this application.
