Shopify + API
Automate Shopify supplier orders via API

Work with your suppliers’ systems, without the manual ordering
Your suppliers may have their own order systems without offering a Shopify app. That should not leave your team entering the same order twice. Dropday connects Shopify to suppliers that accept orders through a JSON API and prepares the information each one needs.
The Dropday app for Shopify brings your orders into Dropday. With orders via API, each supplier receives its products and the relevant order details, including personalisation such as engraving text or an artwork link where provided on the Shopify order.

Frequently asked questions
Can I connect a supplier that does not have a Shopify app?
Yes. If the supplier accepts orders through a JSON API, Dropday can provide the connection between your Shopify store and its order system.
Can one order be split between several suppliers?
Yes. Your rules assign products to suppliers, and each supplier receives only the products it needs to fulfil.
Can I include product personalisation?
Yes. Personalisation attached to Shopify order lines, such as engraving text or an artwork link, can be included in the information sent to the supplier.
Can I check orders before they are sent?
Yes. Hold orders for selected suppliers in Dropday until you have reviewed and approved them.
How can I see whether an order was sent successfully?
Dropday checks the supplier API’s response and shows the sending result on the order. If sending fails, you can investigate the issue and resend that supplier’s order once it is resolved.
