I'm actually part of something bigger at Ascent Business Solutions recognized as the top Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom.

Ascent Business Solutions offer support for smaller technical fixes and projects for larger developments, such as migrating to a ZohoCRM.  A team rather than a one-man-band is always available to ensure seamless progress and address any concerns.

The team I manage specializes in coding API integrations between Zoho and third-party finance/commerce suites such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, and eBay; to name but a few.  Our passion lies in creating innovative solutions where others have fallen short as well as working with new businesses, new sectors, and new ideas.  Our success is measured by the growth and ROI we deliver for clients, such as transforming a garden shed hobby into a 250k monthly turnover operation or generating a +60% return in just three days after launch through online payments and a streamlined e-commerce solution, replacing a paper-based system.

Zoho Deluge: Connect to Shopify

Zoho Deluge: Connect to Shopify

Category: Zoho
Hits: 4224
What?
A quick article showing 2 ways of connecting to Shopify's REST API with a custom app.

Note that this is not for an app embedded in the Shopify instance but for a third-party app, such as a Zoho Creator app, to connect to the data within Shopify.

Why?
At time of print, we have woken up to the news that including a username and password, or a client and secret in the endpoint of a URL will no longer be supported in the Zoho Deluge invokeURL task...

This article exists because I spent 2 hours going down the rabbit hole of trying to use OAuth2 and following the usual steps: Grant Code, Refresh Token, Access Token. I also went down the rabbit hole of installing app-bridge and configuring a JWT which was an absolute waste of time with regards to what I was attempting to do.

How?
Let me show you how we used to connect and then what the new code will be. The preamble to both of these is how to get the values to include in the invokeURL headers and payload.

Previously on...
copyraw 
m_Header = Map();
	m_Header.put("Content-Type","application/json");
	//
	// app specific (retrieving from a ZohoCreator record that stores all these credentials)
	r_ShopifyAPI = API_Integration[Connection_Name == "Shopify API"];
	//
	// client id from the shopify admin and registering a custom app
	// eg. 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff
	v_ClientID = r_ShopifyAPI.Client_ID;
	//
	// client secret from the shopify admin and registering a custom app
	// eg. shpss_aaabbbcccdddeeefff01234567890
	v_ClientSecret = r_ShopifyAPI.Client_Secret;
	//
	// the shop id from the URL https://{shop_id}.myshopify.com
	// eg. my-example-store
	v_ShopID = r_ShopifyAPI.Shop_ID;
	//
	// concatenated for the endpoint
	v_ShopifyURL = "https://" + v_ClientID + ":" + v_ClientSecret + "@" + v_ShopID + ".myshopify.com";
	//
	// per endpoint request to specify which API version (eg. 2025-07)
	v_ShopifyApiVersion = r_ShopifyAPI.API_Version;
	//
	// url with client id and client secret (now to be deprecated July 25, 2025 by Zoho)
	// where p_OrderID is the shopify order ID
	v_Endpoint = v_ShopifyURL + "/admin/api/" + v_ShopifyApiVersion + "/orders/" + p_OrderID + ".json";
	r_GetOrder = invokeurl
	[
		url :v_Endpoint
		type :GET
		headers:m_Header
	];
	info r_GetOrder;
  1.  m_Header = Map(); 
  2.      m_Header.put("Content-Type","application/json"); 
  3.      // 
  4.      // app specific (retrieving from a ZohoCreator record that stores all these credentials) 
  5.      r_ShopifyAPI = API_Integration[Connection_Name == "Shopify API"]; 
  6.      // 
  7.      // client id from the shopify admin and registering a custom app 
  8.      // eg. 00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff 
  9.      v_ClientID = r_ShopifyAPI.Client_ID; 
  10.      // 
  11.      // client secret from the shopify admin and registering a custom app 
  12.      // eg. shpss_aaabbbcccdddeeefff01234567890 
  13.      v_ClientSecret = r_ShopifyAPI.Client_Secret; 
  14.      // 
  15.      // the shop id from the URL https://{shop_id}.myshopify.com 
  16.      // eg. my-example-store 
  17.      v_ShopID = r_ShopifyAPI.Shop_ID; 
  18.      // 
  19.      // concatenated for the endpoint 
  20.      v_ShopifyURL = "https://" + v_ClientID + ":" + v_ClientSecret + "@" + v_ShopID + ".myshopify.com"; 
  21.      // 
  22.      // per endpoint request to specify which API version (eg. 2025-07) 
  23.      v_ShopifyApiVersion = r_ShopifyAPI.API_Version; 
  24.      // 
  25.      // url with client id and client secret (now to be deprecated July 25, 2025 by Zoho) 
  26.      // where p_OrderID is the shopify order ID 
  27.      v_Endpoint = v_ShopifyURL + "/admin/api/" + v_ShopifyApiVersion + "/orders/" + p_OrderID + ".json"; 
  28.      r_GetOrder = invokeUrl 
  29.      [ 
  30.          url :v_Endpoint 
  31.          type :GET 
  32.          headers:m_Header 
  33.      ]; 
  34.      info r_GetOrder; 

Now Continuing...
Using the API Admin Access Token:
copyraw 
r_ShopifyAPI = API_Integration[Connection_Name == "Shopify API"];
	v_ClientID = r_ShopifyAPI.Client_ID;
	v_ClientSecret = r_ShopifyAPI.Client_Secret;
	v_ShopifyApiVersion = r_ShopifyAPI.API_Version;
	v_Shopify_BaseURL = "https://" + v_ShopID + ".myshopify.com";
	//
	m_Header = Map();
	m_Header.put("Content-Type","application/json");
	// The access token is the Admin API token received when installing the custom app for the first time
	m_Header.put("X-Shopify-Access-Token",r_ShopifyAPI.Access_Token.trim());
	//
	v_Endpoint = v_Shopify_BaseURL + "/admin/api/" + v_ShopifyApiVersion + "/orders/" + p_OrderID + ".json";
	r_GetOrder = invokeurl
	[
		url :v_Endpoint
		type :GET
		headers:m_Header
	];
	info r_GetOrder;
  1.  r_ShopifyAPI = API_Integration[Connection_Name == "Shopify API"]; 
  2.      v_ClientID = r_ShopifyAPI.Client_ID; 
  3.      v_ClientSecret = r_ShopifyAPI.Client_Secret; 
  4.      v_ShopifyApiVersion = r_ShopifyAPI.API_Version; 
  5.      v_Shopify_BaseURL = "https://" + v_ShopID + ".myshopify.com"; 
  6.      // 
  7.      m_Header = Map(); 
  8.      m_Header.put("Content-Type","application/json"); 
  9.      // The access token is the Admin API token received when installing the custom app for the first time 
  10.      m_Header.put("X-Shopify-Access-Token",r_ShopifyAPI.Access_Token.trim()); 
  11.      // 
  12.      v_Endpoint = v_Shopify_BaseURL + "/admin/api/" + v_ShopifyApiVersion + "/orders/" + p_OrderID + ".json"; 
  13.      r_GetOrder = invokeUrl 
  14.      [ 
  15.          url :v_Endpoint 
  16.          type :GET 
  17.          headers:m_Header 
  18.      ]; 
  19.      info r_GetOrder;
