SAP Open Connectors

Shopify Authenticate a Connector

You can authenticate with Shopify to create your own instance of the Shopify connector through the UI or through APIs. Once authenticated, you can use the connector instance to access the different functionality offered by the Shopify platform.

Authenticate Through the UI

Use the UI to authenticate with Shopify and create a connector instance. Because you authenticate with Shopify via OAuth 2.0, all you need to do is add a name for the instance and provide your Shopify site address. After you create the instance, you'll log in to Shopify to authorize SAP Open Connectors access to your account. For more information about authenticating a connector instance, see Authenticate a Connector Instance (UI)

After successfully authenticating, we give you several options for next steps. Make requests using the API docs associated with the instance, map the instance to a common resource, or use it in a formula template.

Authenticate Through API

Authenticating through API is a multi-step process that involves:


1
Redirect URL




2
Authenticate Users




3
Authenticate Instance


Getting a Redirect URL


1
Redirect URL




2
Authenticate Users




3
Authenticate Instance


Use the following API call to request a redirect URL where the user can authenticate with the vendor. Replace {keyOrId} with the connector key, shopify.

GET /elements/{keyOrId}/oauth/url?apiKey=<api_key>&apiSecret=<api_secret>&callbackUrl=<url>&siteAddress=<url>

Query Parameters

Query ParameterDescription
apiKeyThe key obtained from registering your app with the provider. This is the Client ID that you recorded in the API Provider Setup section.
apiSecretThe client secret obtained from registering your app with the provider. This is the Client Secret that you recorded in the API Provider Setup section.
callbackUrlThe URL that will receive the code from the vendor to be used to create a connector instance. This is the Callback URL that you recorded in the API Provider Setup section.

Example cURL

curl -X GET
-H 'Content-Type: application/json'
'https://api.openconnectors.us2.ext.hana.ondemand.com/elements/api-v2/elements/shopify/oauth/url?apiKey=fake_api_key&apiSecret=fake_api_secret&callbackUrl=https://www.mycoolapp.com/auth&state=shopify'

Example Response

Use the oauthUrl in the response to allow users to authenticate with the vendor.

{
"element": "shopify",
"oauthUrl": "https://SHOPIFYSHOPNAME.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/authorize?client_id=fake_client_id&scope=write_orders,write_products,write_customers&redirect_uri=https://www.mycoolapp.com/auth&state=shopify"
}

Authenticating Users and Receiving the Authorization Grant Code


1
Redirect URL




2
Authenticate Users




3
Authenticate Instance


Provide the response from the previous step to the users. After they authenticate, Shopify provides the following information in the response:

  • code
  • state
Response ParameterDescription
codeThe Authorization Grant Code required by SAP Open Connectors to retrieve the OAuth access and refresh tokens from the endpoint.
stateA customizable identifier, typically the connector key (shopify) .
Note: If the user denies authentication and/or authorization, there will be a query string parameter called error instead of the code parameter. In this case, your application can handle the error gracefully.

Authenticating the Connector Instance


1
Redirect URL




2
Authenticate Users




3
Authenticate Instance


Use the /instances endpoint to authenticate with Shopify and create a connector instance. If you are configuring events, see the Events section.

Note: The endpoint returns a connector id and token upon successful completion. Retain the token and id for all subsequent requests involving this connector instance.

To create a connector instance:

  1. Construct a JSON body as shown below (see Parameters):

            {
              "element": {
                "key": "shopify"
              },
              "providerData": {
                "code": "<AUTHORIZATION_GRANT_CODE>"
              },
              "configuration": {
                "oauth.api.key": "<LIENT_ID>",
                "oauth.api.secret": "<CLIENT_SECRET>",
                "oauth.callback.url": "https://www.examplecallbackurl.com/",
                "shopify.site.address":"<SHOPIFY_USER_SHOP_NAME>",
                "oauth.scope":"write_orders,write_products,write_customers"
              },
              "tags": [
                "<Add_Your_Tag>"
              ],
              "name": "<Insert_Instance_Name>"
            }
    
  2. Call the following, including the JSON body you constructed in the previous step:

    POST /instances
    
    Note: Make sure that you include the User and Organization keys in the header. For more information, see Authorization Headers, Organization Secret, and User Secret.
  3. Note the Token and ID and save them for all future requests using the connector instance.

Example cURL

curl -X POST \
  https://api.openconnectors.us2.ext.hana.ondemand.com/elements/api-v2/instances \
  -H 'authorization: User <USER_SECRET>, Organization <ORGANIZATION_SECRET>' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "element": {
      "key": "shopify"
    },
    "providerData": {
      "code": "8aa74ff8ae16ba3ca19d12cbdea83aff16bddcd7"
    },
    "configuration": {
      "oauth.api.key": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "oauth.api.secret": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
      "shopify.site.address": "mycoolapp",
      "oauth.scope": "write_orders,write_products,write_customers",
      "oauth.callback.url": "https://mycoolapp.com"
    },
    "tags": [
      "Test"
    ],
    "name": "ShopifyInstance"
  }'
