Shopify, WooCommerce & other shop system integrations#79
Be able to add new job in the queue directly from Shopify.
I’d add ShipStation to this list.
We could also add Shippo to this. Perhaps litcommerce maybe as well?
Please ensure that attribute tagging is configured, so attributes can be linked to filament. For example, I use the Color Swatch plugin, and you can choose what colors you want to print with straight from the menu. It would be nice to tie that directly into my filament manager so when the print is sent off it knows exactly what filament to use, and we can also enable/disable product fields based on the filament availability within the manager.
On the note of enabling/disabling product field entries based on filament availability, perhaps we can also disable entire products from the shop when filament is not available to print it? or place it on backorder only.
I have made a rough working solution here, that i have been running for a month now. With sync from Shopify -> Simplyprint queue.
I was able to create a working version of this integration from ShipStation to SimplyPrint that also adds jobs to the print queue based on the order.
I really only print in PLA. But it will dynamically add the filament color tag, and calculate the quantity needed based on the quantities in Shopify, the SKU, and the file name. This is important because some files have 20 individual items in the print job while others have just one. It could easily do the same tagging for material type too.
Added the ability to exclude certain SKUs or SKU prefixes from being processed, and it is handling de-duplication well by storing the orders and order line items by SKU in a database that it keeps updated.
It also adds the order number to a custom field on the Print queue item just to make sure we can keep track of what’s what. It also adds a tag to the order in SimplyPrint so we know that it’s been queued or a separate tag if it queued only part of the order depending on print job file availability. That way I know what to look at or what is already handled by looking at the ShipStation order.
Right now I have it in Lambda and it runs hourly. It’s purty nice!
Going to give this a try for a while and see how it does!
