API Tutorials

Our API Reference houses a lot of information, but doesn't always tell you how you should use it. These tutorials aim to help you get the most from your experience developing on Shopify's API.

• Building an application – If you've never built an app before, this tutorial will walk you through code examples of what is required to authenticate and make basic API calls.

• Using webhooks - Learn more about using Shopify's Webhooks API.

• Shopify Scripts SHOPIFY PLUS – Scripts and the Script Editor let you create scripts that are run each time a customer adds items to their cart. Create discounts for products with specific tags or run special promotions like "buy 2, get 1 free".

• Application Proxies – An application proxy is a feature that fetches and displays data on a Shopify shop page from an outside location that you, the developer, specify.

• Checkout API – Learn how to use our Checkout API to create orders programmatically in your Sales Chanel SDK app.

• Analytics API – Use Shopify Query Language to build strong analytics apps for single merchants or the app store.

• Hide objects from search engines and sitemaps - Add a noindex and nofollow meta tag to content you want to hide from search engines.
