Codeless Platforms Releases Shopify GraphQL Connector v1.0

POOLE, U.K. - EntSun -- Codeless Platforms today announced the immediate availability of its Shopify GraphQL Connector v1.0. The Shopify GraphQL Connector provides an easy-to-use way of sending and retrieving data between BPA Platform and a Shopify store. This allows data to be synchronised between Shopify and third-party systems that it does not usually communicate with.

The Connector is used to map BPA Platform data to Shopify objects and operations, using the Shopify GraphQL Admin API. All standard Shopify administration objects are supported for business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) activity, as are custom metafields for both objects and fields.

All internal BPA Platform communication uses XML, although calls to and responses from Shopify use the GraphQL format. Incoming recordset data can be mapped directly to XML elements in the Shopify GraphQL Connector without the need for external conversion. XML responses from the Connector can be saved and used by other BPA Platform tools for further processing, for example, as part of an end-to-end integration solution.

• Create freehand queries for more complex or specific scenarios.
• Create relationships by combining supported parent-child items into a single GraphQL Object for use in a task step..

Sue Dear, Product Director, Codeless Platforms: "With the emergence of GraphQL we are starting to see a shift in focus by some of the eCommerce providers, especially Shopify. GraphQL enables customers to request and receive just the data they require (using JSON) rather than the current process of using the REST API which sends a larger payload irrespective of the contents of the query or request. This minimises the data transferred over the network and improves performance. GraphQL also simplifies the development process by consolidating multiple API requests into a single query, reducing the number of round-trips between the client and server. This is crucial for Shopify's eCommerce platform, where responsiveness is key to delivering a seamless user experience."
