A Brief Introduction to Shopify's API
If you're not familiar with Shopify's API, it's essentially a way for developers and merchants to integrate their existing systems with the Shopify platform. This allows for greater flexibility and customization when it comes to building an online store.
One of the biggest benefits of using Shopify's API is the ability to automate certain tasks, such as inventory management and order fulfillment. This can save merchants a lot of time and headache, and free them up to focus on other areas of their business.
How to Display Sale Prices on Your Cart Page
If you're using the Venture layout for your Shopify store and want to show the sale price discount on your cart page, there's a simple solution. All you need to do is add this code to the cart-template.liquid file:
% if item.original_price > item.final_price % money % endif % This will display the original price crossed out, with the sale price listed next to it. It's a small touch that can make a big difference in encouraging customers to complete their purchase.
Using Shopify's API to Send Customer Information to Your Dispatch Operators
If you're using a dispatch system alongside your Shopify store, you can use Shopify's API to automatically send customer and order information to your dispatch operators. This can help streamline the order fulfillment process and reduce errors.
To set this up, you'll need to work with your dispatch system provider to integrate with Shopify's API. Once that's done, the process should be automated and require minimal effort on your end.
