The Kind of Problems You'll SolveA typical requirement may involve: Shopify ↔ Existing Business Application ↔ External APIs For example: An order is created in Shopify. The order needs to be sent to an external application through an API. Customer and product information needs to be mapped between two different data structures.



The external application processes the request and sends updated information back. Shopify then needs to reflect the updated status or data. Failures need to be logged and retried without creating duplicate transactions.

• Understand a business requirement and translate it into a technical solution
• Design integrations before starting development
• Determine when to use Shopify native capabilities, an existing app or custom development
