We are working on our startup for e-commerce and would like to integrate with brands hosted on Shopify. The brand would integrate certain functionality on their site like search or chat by calling our endpoint and we will also need access to certain data from these brands. Does developing and getting a Shopify plug-in approved will enable us to do the above? Anyone has experience with this? Tax: 400 #ecommerce #retail #plugin #shopify
Yes, you can add functionality like search or chat to Shopify stores through a plugin, using JavaScript for front-end interactions and server-side languages for backend processes, while interacting with Shopify's API for data access and manipulation. You can call API endpoints and access data (provided app has the necessary permissions from the store owner) using Shopify's REST API or GraphQL API for various data operations within Shopify stores.
