Getting Started with Shopify API Integration on Syncloop

Using Syncloop, you can integrate Shopify APIs quickly and securely through a low-code, visual platform, making complex workflows intuitive and easy to manage. Whether you're syncing product catalogs, automating order processing, or customizing the checkout experience, Syncloop helps you get it done faster.

Prerequisites

Before starting your Shopify API integration on Syncloop, ensure you have:

• A Shopify account with admin access
• A Private App or Custom App set up in Shopify with API credentials (Admin API access token)
• API scopes enabled (like read_products, write_orders, etc.)
• Access to Syncloop with a service environment ready

Step-by-Step: Integrating Shopify API on Syncloop

✅ Step 1: Set Up Your Shopify API Credentials

• Log into your Shopify admin.
• Navigate to Apps > Develop apps.
• Create a new app or use an existing one.
• Under Configuration, select the required Admin API scopes.
• Under API credentials, copy the Admin API access token and API URL.

Step 2: Create a New Service in Syncloop

• Log in to Syncloop.
• Go to your project space and create a new service.
• Name your service (e.g., Shopify-Product-Sync).

Step 3: Use REST Connector Node

• Drag a REST node into the workspace.
• Configure the node with the following:
  • Method: GET (or POST/PUT/DELETE depending on action)
  • URL: https://.myshopify.com/admin/api/2023-04/products.json
  • Headers:
    • Content-Type: application/json
    • X-Shopify-Access-Token: your token

Step 4: Add Logic and Control

You can now build business logic around the API response:

• Use Ifelse to check for errors or empty results.
• Use Transformer to format data before sending it to your database or another API.
• Use Redo to retry failed requests or apply back-off logic.
• Use Await if you need a pause between chained API calls.

Step 5: Debug and Test

• Use the debug panel to send test calls.
• Validate response data and logs.
• Adjust headers, logic, or transformers as needed.

Step 6: Save and Deploy

Once tested:

• Save your service.
• Deploy it to your environment.
• Optionally, expose it via Syncloop’s API gateway for external access.

Common Shopify API Endpoints to Integrate

Functionality Endpoint Example

List Products /admin/api/2023-04/products.json

Create Order /admin/api/2023-04/orders.json

Update Inventory /admin/api/2023-04/inventory_levels/set.json

Fetch Customers /admin/api/2023-04/customers.json

Best Practices

• Always use HTTPS for secure communication.
• Rotate API tokens periodically.
• Handle Shopify API rate limits (2 requests/second) using Await or throttling.
• Use Transformer nodes to clean and map data formats.
• Monitor services with Syncloop's real-time logs and usage metrics.

Conclusion

Shopify API integration on Syncloop unlocks the power of automation, efficiency, and real-time commerce. With its visual, low-code environment and smart logic tools, Syncloop makes it easy to build robust workflows that scale with your business.

Whether you're managing inventory, processing orders, or syncing data across platforms, Syncloop helps you integrate Shopify faster and more reliably.
