    Private Apps: Multi-vendor Marketplace for Shopify

    Updated 3 August 2023

    In the Multi-vendor Marketplace app for Shopify, the admin can add MVM Private Apps (currently, the scope can only be shipping and fulfilling the order in the multivendor marketplace app).

    So, if you want to integrate your third-party shipping app with the multivendor marketplace app, you can use this feature.

    MVM Private Apps

    The admin needs to visit Marketplace Admin Panel > Configuration > MVM Private App:

    For this integration, the response format of the merchant’s third-party app should be like this:

    {
       "private-app": [
         {
           vendor_name: "xyz vendor",
           product_id: 34291038423948,
           variant_id : 432323482303849,
           cost: 4.99
         },
         {
           vendor_name: "abc vendor",
           product_id: 34291038423237,
           variant_id : 432323482303845,
           cost: 8.00
         },
    
         ..etc...
       ]
    }

    We will send you the same data as you will get from Shopify shipping callback. Here is an example:

    array (
      'rate' =>

        'origin' =>

            'variant_id' => 32490707550268,
          ),
        ),
        'currency' => 'INR',
        'locale' => 'en',
      ),
