Private Apps: Multi-vendor Marketplace for Shopify

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:

On the following page, click on ‘Add MVM Private App‘:

Here, you need to enter the following details:

• Private App Name
• Authentication Method: Bearer Token or No Auth
• In case the authentication method is bearer token, enter the token value
• App scope: Currently, we only provide shipping and fulfillment (fulfilling the order).
• Enter the end URL
• Enable/Disable the private app

Once added, the app can be edited/deleted/disabled:

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' =>
  array (
    'origin' =>
    array (
      'country' => 'IN',
      'postal_code' => '201301',
      'province' => 'UP',
      'city' => 'Noida',
      'name' => NULL,
      'address1' => 'A-67',
      'address2' => NULL,
      'address3' => NULL,
      'phone' => '',
      'fax' => NULL,
      'email' => NULL,
      'address_type' => NULL,
      'company_name' => 'tarang-shop2',
    ),
    'destination' =>
    array (
      'country' => 'IN',
      'postal_code' => '201301',
      'province' => 'UP',
      'city' => 'Noida',
      'name' => 'Webkul',
      'address1' => 'A-67 , sector 63 noida',
      'address2' => 'sector 63',
      'address3' => NULL,
      'phone' => NULL,
      'fax' => NULL,
      'email' => NULL,
      'address_type' => NULL,
      'company_name' => NULL,
    ),
    'items' =>
    array (
      0 =>
      array (
        'name' => 'Copy of syn tag product',
        'sku' => '',
        'quantity' => 1,
        'grams' => 0,
        'price' => 12300,
        'vendor' => 'tags & category',
        'requires_shipping' => true,
        'taxable' => true,
        'fulfillment_service' => 'manual',
        'properties' =>
        array (
        ),
        'product_id' => 4641458061372,
        'variant_id' => 32490707550268,
      ),
    ),
    'currency' => 'INR',
    'locale' => 'en',
  ),
)

Using this private app, the seller can fulfill the order from their panel >> order >> order listing

Note:-
The shipping option should be enabled then only the fulfillment option will work.
