Create Custom apps for Multivendor Marketplace App on Shopify

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.

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.

Points to be Noted:-

• From here, you can add a maximum of 5 custom apps to the multi-vendor app.
• Firstly, you need to provide the required permissions in the Shopify private app.

To Add a Shopify Custom App, you need to visit the Shopify Admin Panel >> Apps >> Develop apps

 Now click on “Create an App”

Enter the name for the app as per your convenience and then click on “Create”

Click on “Configure Admin API Scope”

Select these permissions:-
Inventory: Write inventory and Read inventory
Products: Write Products and read products

Then click on “Save”.

Note: Be very specific about the permissions. If it is wrong, no data will be updated as no API gets hit.

Click on “Install App”

Copy the API credential, after that you need to paste this in Mulvendor Private App

To paste these credentials in the “Shopify private apps” section of the Multi-vendor Admin Panel
Go to Multivendor Admin Panel>> Configuration>>Shopify private apps>> Click on “Add shopify Private App”

Please Remember :- In case you want to delete the Custom app on Shopify, firstly you need to delete/disable the same in the app. Otherwise, the access token will get expired and no API call gets hit from the Multi-vendor app.
