A good number of our stores sell > $1M/month. And, now that Shopify 2 has shipped, any feature gaps that were around are closing very quickly.

Do you guys have an API by any chance? Can I push orders to a Shopify store via an API call of some kind?

    We're beta testing the order create api endpoint on our enterprise Shopify plan right now, enabling us to hackily import manual phone/wholesale orders via an internal app we developed. It's definitely a step in the right direction, but Shopify really needs to prioritize a backend order creation tool. Every e-commerce product across-the-board has this feature, and it's disappointing to see a platform as well-crafted and mature as Shopify still without many of the essentials. We can now officially create orders via a POS system, but still can't create an order on our own website without registering as a customer or jumping through 3rd party shipping/tax/payment APIs.

  The API documentation is here: http://docs.shopify.com/api http://docs.shopify.com/api There's no API order creation at present, but the API is consistently evolving as the platform does.

    How about discount codes? I had to write a screen-scraping python script to get student discount codes working and then I then had to write it again to deal with Shopify 2's new interface!

      Shopify themselves wrote an app to do this: http://www.shopify.com/blog/6668676-new-free-shopify-app-bulk-discounts http://www.shopify.com/blog/6668676-new-free-shopify-app-bul...

        I've used that app before and it isn't what I needed. I want to be able to add them myself...through the API.
