Heya Jason, got this all working in an alternative method.
But product data, funnily enough. Loading information via Shopify directly didn't give us the specific information we needed without doing multiple calls to get a complete record - and that started getting large.
We ended up throwing our cut down data into a JSON array and storing it in the theme's assets.
For anyone interested, managed to get this working (updating the metafield) by using the following:
{
"metafield": {
"namespace": "custom_fields",
"key": "warehouse_location",
"value": "2345",
"value_type": "string"
}
}
and using POST to:
https://MY-SHOP/admin/products/PRODUCT-CODE/metafields.json
Hope the information helps someone else.
Hello there,
I'm building a mobile application for my website in shopify
but i can't get the remaining quantity of each product.
is there a function that achive what i want in shopify sdk?
thanks.
Hi JT,
Have you managed to tackle this problem? Have you seen this: https://help.shopify.com/api/reference/multipass?
Cheers,
-- Stas
For massive slabs of JSON that's a far more sensible idea.
Glad to hear you've got a working model.
We have a WMS system that uses the Shopify API as a client.
Amongst other things, it updates inventory levels (by using variant PUTs), and pulls product details down. It is interested in recently updated products, so includes an 'updated_at_min' parameter in a periodically-invoked products GET request.
However, any product whose inventory has been updated for any of its variants is returned, even if this is the only update. This leads to unnecessary traffic between the systems, as our WMS then pulls the product again to find out details of the update.
Is there any way to avoid this, for example providing a filter as to the type of update a product has undergone, when specifying the 'updated_at_min' parameter? (I could see no API option for this.)
I understand that an alternative solution would be to use product web-hooks, but because of limitations on the webhook URL (i.e. it cannot contain any identification of the product being updated), this doesn't work with our current architecture, without further development.
Many thanks,
Matthew
I want to store BuyCart Object in NSUserDefault and then retrive back in to BuyCart Object. I am unable to encode and decode it properly.
I am using this funcation for encoding buyCart.jsonDictionaryForCheckout() and got this in json
({
"line_items" = (
{
price = 55;
quantity = 2;
"requires_shipping" = 1;
title = "Fresh Without Shell (500g)";
"variant_id" = 20325638465;
},
{
price = 109;
quantity = 3;
"requires_shipping" = 1;
title = "Fresh without Shell";
"variant_id" = 18464205953;
}
);
})
can you tell me how i can decode if this is the proper way as lot of info has been lost.
Is it possible to control the checkout process from begining to end via the API? I see many apps such as PayWhirl and a few other apps. I want to create an app that has complete control over the actual credit card order page. Is this possible for someone like myself with a developer/partner account to create and use and possibly sell? I see in the documentation there are instructions for submitting credit card numbers through the API and return results but I see on various places on the boards shopify telling customers you cannot modify this stage of the checkout process so I am getting conflicting information
Sorry, no. The inventory count is not available through the SDK API.
Hello Bruno,
Version 1.x of the SDK does not support customers. Version 2.0, on the develop branch, does. We will release to master soon, and release updated docs at the same time. Version 2 is a significant change, so please review the code before jumping in.
If you want to persist the user's cart, you will have to do that yourself. You can convert the cart into JSON to save to disk. On app resume, create a new cart and initialize it with the JSON.
If you create a checkout token, you may wish to re-use that, to avoid creating abandoned checkouts. The token is created by Shopify when you POST the checkout the first time. You may want to keep the cart and checkout in sync. The easiest way is to recreate the checkout from the cart, and then set the token on it, and then update the checkout on Shopify.
It is up to your app to decide when to re-use a checkout, and when to discard it and create a new one. Usually when the user empties the cart completely, you would probably want to delete your locally saved cart and checkout token.
Thanks Jordan.

How can I know my x_gateway_reference?
Bump...
Did you figure this out yet?
Nope, but we did manage to pin down the root cause of the issue. This issue is because of the fact that some themes have their own submission function bound to form submit, so when our validation function is called and fails, the themes form submit function passes and just continues. Essentially, you would need to hunt down the listeners added by the theme and modify them to run your own validation function first (google chrome network monitor + element inspector makes hunting them down really easy). Some themes will work out of the box for this, whereas others will not.
The default theme that the shop is loaded with requires you to hunt down their on submit function and modify it, whereas Brooklyn (another free shopify theme) does not. With brooklyn our validation function works almost as needed (included below), it still has the issue where someone can go $('#AddToCartForm').submit() and bypass the validation.
<script>
jQuery("form[action='/cart/add'] [type=submit]").on("click", function(e) {
// Validations here
if (valid) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
});</script>Returning false does stop the form fom being submitted, however as I mentioned above $('#AddToCartForm').submit() will still let the form be submitted.
I'm looking to get information on the fees charged to our company (store owner) by Shopify for a particular order. I may have missed it but I didn't see this data in Order or Fulfillment. Where can I find this fee data?
Hey there everyone - I recenetly did a huge inport from Magento to Shopify via Cart2Cart during which 40k old orders were imported.
The problem is that they were all imported under the status of "Void" when they should all be "Paid." This obviously messes with all of our dashboards and reporting.
Do any of you have experience bulk editing this field? I'd like to mark all orders as "Paid" (which you can do one by one if you mark it as "cash recieived" but would be way to slow for 40k orders).
I also need to make sure when I do this it doesn't email all the customers :)
Thanks for your help!
Hoping someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong here. I'm simply wanting to update the price and quantity of a product using the API. Our products do not have variants. I have tried the following but both return a (422) Unprocessable Entity error.
{
"product": {
"id": "7050337351",
"variants": [{
"price": "12.34",
"inventory_quantity": "87654"
}]
}
}
also tried:
{
"product": {
"id": "7050337351",
"price": "12.34",
"inventory_quantity": "87654"
}
}
The JSON is being sent via PUT to:
/admin/products/7050337351.json
but returns a (422) Unprocessable Entity error
Just as the title says. Can you send custom metafields with Javascript SDK on checkout?
Example: I was able to prepopulate first name, last name, email addres, etc by doing something like this below:
https://checkout.shopify.com/233423423/checkouts/1fe9462c86ac1190c8dcf1b53019646f?
checkout[email]=me@email.com&
checkout[shipping_address][first_name]=Walter&
checkout[shipping_address][last_name]=Dumlao&
checkout[shipping_address][address1]=123 Fake Street&
checkout[shipping_address][address2]=Side&
checkout[shipping_address][city]=City&
checkout[shipping_address][country]=Canada&
checkout[shipping_address][province]=Ontario&
checkout[shipping_address][zip]=N1EJ7L&
checkout[reduction_code]=code
I would love to assign an order with a customer that lives on my website external to Shopify store.
Hello - We are building a Shopify app for our platform, called Swym Relay. One requirement we are trying to mandate for the app install is for the user to install it on their custom domain, as opposed to their myshopify.com domain (we require this becasue of how the platform is implemented). When I try to test the app on a custom domain I've created, Shopify seems to always refer to my original myshopify.com domain - I get the following error when I try this:
"The store URL you entered is not correct. Please try entering it again."
Further, when I try to access the Admin module by referring to my custom domain, i.e. http://<customdomain.com>/admin, that always redirects to the store.myshopify.com/admin address. I suspect that this is part of the problem.
Is this the expected/documented behavior? Any suggestions on how we can get around this, short of letting the user install on the myshopify.com domain and then having them change the domain later? Is there a way during the install process to get the custom domain name?
Thanks for your help!
Hi,
Any idea, where I can find the sample which demonstrates the customer login using mobile buy sdk.
In latest pre-release they have added customer login support :
https://github.com/Shopify/mobile-buy-sdk-android/releases/
But I can't find the updated sample related to same as they have mentioned in the release notes. Also, does mobile-buy sdk for android provides search functionality?
Any pointers would be helpful.
