Shopify Line Items: Boost Your Sales!

Introduction to Shopify Webhooks

Hi everyone and welcome to an introduction to Shopify webhooks. Webhooks are a way for Shopify to communicate an event that takes place on our store to an API that we manage. Let's say a user buys an item on our store, we want to get details of that purchase. We can simply register a webhook on Shopify and whenever a purchase is made, we get details of that purchase sent to our API through a webhook request.

Setting up a webhook connection requires three things: a Shopify store, an API that the request is going to be sent to, and an endpoint on that API that the webhook request is going to target.

To make our local server publicly available with an HTTPS endpoint, we're going to use ngrok, a tool that proxies requests from the web to our local server. Once we have ngrok serving our API, we can copy the HTTPS version of the URL to receive webhook requests.

To create a webhook on Shopify, we need to go to the settings page and click on notifications. From there, we can create a webhook for a specific event and choose the format we want the data to be sent in. We also need to provide the URL of our endpoint.

We can test our webhook by adding a product to our cart and updating it. We should see the webhook request printed out in our CLI with details of the purchase, including the item's price and vendor.

In conclusion, setting up a webhook connection between our Shopify store and API is a simple process that can provide us with valuable information about our customers' purchases. By following the steps outlined in this article, we can easily set up a webhook and start receiving data from Shopify.

Getting Started with Shopify webhooks using the Shopify API

Welcome to this video on working with Shopify webhooks using the Shopify API. In this video, we will be creating a Shopify webhook by making an authenticated call to the Shopify API. We will then generate a webhook URL that allows us to receive our Shopify webhooks in our local development environment. We will also be inspecting the address and payload sent with the Shopify webhook.

Let's jump right into the tutorial!

Requirements:

- Shopify store account with admin access and the ability to create apps

- Hook CLI installed

- Locally running API server (node.js server in this case)

Steps:

1. Generate a webhook URL that points to the log shop firewall book endpoint.

2. Create a Shopify store private app in order to get the keys to interact with the Shopify API.

3. Use the Shopify API to create a webhook on Shopify for the order create event.

4. Test and inspect the webhook.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Generate a webhook URL:

- Run the command hookdeck listen

- Supply the port number (1337 in this case)

- Provide a source label (e.g. Shopify)

- Enter the webhook URL

- Provide a connection label (e.g. logger)

- Copy the login URL and paste it in the browser

2. Create a Shopify store private app:

- Go to the Shopify dashboard and click on Apps (if you have the permissions to do so)

- Click on Manage private apps

- Create a new private app and provide the necessary details (name, developer email, permissions, API version, etc.)

- Store the API credentials (API key, API password, and shared secret)

3. Create a webhook on Shopify:

- Point to the Shopify webhooks API (store address/admin/api/2021-10/webhooks.json)

- Set the request method to POST

- Set the x-shopify-access-token header to authenticate with the Shopify API

- Enter the payload in JSON format to set up the subscription (topic, address, format)

- Send the request and wait for the successful response (201 created)

4. Test and inspect the webhook:

- Create an order on the Shopify store

- Check the webhook logs using the fetch webhook logs endpoint

- Verify that the webhook was successfully logged

In this video, we have learned how to create a Shopify webhook using the Shopify API and receive it in our local development environment. We have also inspected the address and payload sent with the Shopify webhook. Happy coding!

How to verify Shopify Webhooks

In this video, we learn how to verify if web books are coming from Shopify using the header they provide. We explore how to implement the verification code and get the secret key needed to verify web book payloads. Here are the main takeaways:

- Demonstrating how to verify if web books are coming from Shopify using their provided header.

- Exploring how to implement verification code and obtain the secret key needed to verify web book payloads.

Steps:

- Defined variables including the Shopify HMAC SHA256 editor name, algorithm, and secret key needed to verify web book payloads.

- Commented out the code that validates the web book and tested to confirm that we were receiving the workbooks without any authentication checks.

- Uncommented the code and tested again to see the 500 error message due to the placeholder for the secret key.

- Obtained the secret key from the private Shopify app that we created in a previous video.

- Replaced the placeholder with the secret key and tested again, this time receiving a 201 status code indicating a successful verification.

- Verifying web books is crucial to ensuring their integrity and authenticity.

- Obtaining the secret key from the Shopify private app is necessary for proper verification.

- Implementing the verification code ensures that we are only accepting web books originating from Shopify.
