FileMaker Integration With Shopify

Justification of Topic:

How to integrate FileMaker with Shopify websites. It will work above FileMaker version 15.

Introduction:

Shopify is an eCommerce platform that allows anyone to easily sell online, at a retail location, and everywhere in between. On the Shopify website, we are able to create, update, and delete records using the FileMaker platform.

Step 1: Integrating FileMaker with Shopify websites.

From your Shopify admin, go to Apps.
Click Manage private apps.
Click Create a new private app.

In the App details section, enter a name for your app, and an emergency developer email.

After you save the app’s details, the Admin API section shows the app’s API key and password.

Step 2: Create a new script in FileMaker Database

In the FileMaker database, create a new script to integrate FileMaker with Shopify websites.

Here is the URL for integrate with Shopify website,

https://{username}:{password}@{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{api-version}/{resource}.json

{username} — The API key that you generated
{password} — The API password
{shop} – The name that you entered for your development store
{api-version} — The supported API version you want to use
{resource} — A resource endpoint from the REST admin API

In FileMaker scripts, using the “Insert from URL” script step we can connect the FileMaker with Shopify websites.

After running the scripts, If successfully connected with Shopify, it will return the information of the website in the “$$Result” variable then you can make sure it’s integrated or not.

Here is the sample code for creating records on the Shopify website

For example: Create a product and return the product ID

In the script line 2 {resource} file we need to change, now we are going to add in Product, so we used “products.json”.Please refer to the below screenshot.

In script line 3 we store the values as “Json” format using the “JSONSetElement” FileMaker function.

In the script lines 4 and 5, Using the “post” method, we can create records in Shopify websites. We can get the syntax in https://shopify.dev/docs/admin-api/rest/reference for “create, update, delete” records in Shopify merchants.
