    Create Custom apps for Multivendor Marketplace App on Shopify

    Updated 8 November 2022

    If you are using Multi-vendor Marketplace app for Shopify, you can now add a maximum of 5 Custom apps to the Multi-vendor app. You can create Shopify Custom Apps and configure them in the app to resolve the API limit issue.

    Why would you as a Merchant Need this

    The Shopify API call limit only allows for two requests per second. So, we get 2 API calls per second from the Shopify end. Sometimes, this API gets exhausted when you deal with larger data.

    Suppose, In case you sync products in bulk, there might be some possibilities that API gets exhausted and complete data won’t get synced properly.

    So, to overcome this API exhaust issue, “Creating Custom apps in the Multi-vendor App is a perfect solution to this problem”.

    In Custom Apps, Shopify provides 3 to 4 API calls per second. So, if the merchant let say, Create 1 Custom app on their Shopify store then per second we will get going to have around 6 API calls per second which are of course greater than 2 API calls. This way the sync processes would run smoothly.
