We are looking o integrate our shopify store with our app. Currently we have a clunky method of do this and would like to explore other methods of doing this. What we do now is:
1) put a product on shopify, point people to it,
2) they purchase and receive an email with a link to click that sends data about the purchase to our app.
3) Our app parses the data sent in the link and stores it in our database
The problems we run into is that the person does not "get" the email or does not click the link. They may just go right to our site and create an account and expect to already be signed up for the event that they purchased. It is a confusing process for the purchasers.
We tried some of the api with limited success. Ran into goofy issues with the https connection. Also, could not get the webhooks to work.
Any thoughts on how to best approach this or any qualifier api developers want to do some consulting on a new design with us?
