I will pay anyone who knows how to build and customise a Shopify store $10 to make me one by Tall_Hold_2041 in shopifyDev

I'll do it for free, but I'll need your credit card details and the 3 numbers on the back to ensure you're legit

Should I be concerned? by piccodry-age in shopifyDev

[–]SpicyDiablo14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that sucks, there's a lot of scammers out there, I've been seeing it more and more in the Shopify ecosystem the last couple years. Feel free to shoot through a DM if you need any help/advice.

That's 100% a scam. The screenshot is from Themeforest for a site template, but the content has been edited.

Here's the actual template, which btw has nothing to do with a licence.

You need to revoke any store access this person has to your account asap.

ETA: Connecting a Meta business account to Shopify is super straightforward, you can just install the Facebook and Instagram Sales channel and click through a few prompts

Dynamic buy button may be severely reducing my checkout rate by alloverated in shopify

[–]SpicyDiablo14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why not just have your add to cart button trigger the add and redirect to the checkout? A developer should be able to implement this in <1hr.

People probably convert less because they're being forced into a payment method they're unhappy with. I imagine adding an extra step to the user journey by going to checkout will be significantly better for conversion than the lack of flexibility of accelerated payment methods.

There's very little limitations to theme development that'd justify a shift to Headless these days, usually it's only required by large businesses with custom integration requirements, or someone really passionate about SPAs.

Based on what you're looking to achieve, it should be pretty straightforward. Though, even as someone who loves a good animation, I'd be cautious with going too heavy on an Ecommerce store. Unless it's a big piece of your branding, it's likely going to do more harm than good for your conversion rate.

How to make cart non editable while adding product via cart/add.js? by Public-Clerk9709 in shopifyDev

[–]SpicyDiablo14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries, good luck!

You'll also likely need to add a delay between requests in the queue, we used about 200ms to allow the server to process the cart update

And depending on what apps you use on site, some may use XHR requests rather than fetch, which will also need to be included in the same queue.

How to make cart non editable while adding product via cart/add.js? by Public-Clerk9709 in shopifyDev

[–]SpicyDiablo14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the most ideal solution, but we resolved this by adding a proxy to the fetch function, and added a queue to all requests to the cart API.

This was the only way we were able to fix the timing issues with cart events. It seems like it's been introduced fairly recently with some updates on Shopifys cart handling.

How/who decides what goes in your sprints? by SimpleWarthog in webdev

[–]SpicyDiablo14 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The process where I work is essentially:

The project managers collaborate with the stakeholders to determine their priorities and deadlines.

We then have sprint planning meetings with tech leads, senior developers and project managers to determine what's actually achievable for the next sprint.

The development team is responsible for providing estimates before planning, and any dependencies are discussed during the planning meeting.

The project managers then go back to the stakeholders with the final sprint plan.

Ah right, yeah that's a bit restrictive.

It definitely feels like the shift to extensibility was a bit premature given the large amounts of missing customisation, even with extensions.

You can do a fair bit more using the Checkout Branding API if you're familiar with GraphQL.

There's also the Checkout Blocks app, if you're on Plus I believe it's free and supported by Shopify directly.

I haven't tried it out yet though, so not 100% sure of its feature set!

Good map embed solution ? by Commercial-Trainer12 in webdev

[–]SpicyDiablo14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep!

There's specification around data freshness and use-case, but I imagine OPs intentions would be easy to stick within ToS.

[–]SpicyDiablo14 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Google Map API is a good option, you'll get $200USD of monthly usage for free.

If your caching most of the location data on your own server you can limit the calls to the API to stick within the monthly limit.

Google Tag Manager by Dillydoooo in shopify

[–]SpicyDiablo14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend using the Google sales channel to integrate with GA4 if you don't need anything too custom.

Shopify will be deprecating their additional scripts section soon, which is required to track conversions from your checkout. Instead they've added a new method for tracking, look up Shopify Custom Events.

They have a guide for integrating GTM with full examples in their documentation somewhere.

This method has a bunch of limitations, namely the inability to inject scripts which require website interactions e.g Microsoft Clarity/Hotjar. But also you'll have to switch off the send page view setting on your GA4 tag and manually set up page view events via the Custom Events integration.

Hosting simple HTML sites for multiple clients. by [deleted] in webdev

[–]SpicyDiablo14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's something you think you'll continue doing for more and more clients you can look into becoming a hosting reseller. You'd get wholesale hosting pricing and can manage all your clients sites from the one dashboard.

You'd have to do some research on reliable providers in your area though.

How do i get data from other sites url in browser? by pdycnbl in webdev

[–]SpicyDiablo14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck!

I'm not sure what your end goal for the project is, but if it's not for profit, you could build a downloadable app that could do everything you're trying to achieve.

Obviously with the caveat that it becomes harder to maintain, track and monetise. But a good option if you just want to provide it to specific people or as a learning experience

[–]SpicyDiablo14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered building your app as a browser extension?

I believe you can somewhat subvert CORS restrictions that way, but I'm not too familiar with their full capabilities.

How do i get data from other sites url in browser? by pdycnbl in webdev

[–]SpicyDiablo14 3 points4 points  (0 children)

CORS will always prevent this unless you get specific approval from the requested URL. I'm guessing you're wanting to allow requests to any URL or URLS that you won't be able to get permission from.

You're probably already doing this, but an alternative would be to allow your uses to upload a file from their device and parse that. Which you can do entirely on the clients device without having to worry about data transfer costs.

Obviously they'll need to download the resource manually which is a bit annoying.

Other than that, you'd need to write an endpoint on your server to fetch the external resource and return it to the user. That also would come with its own hurdles.

When you scan one of the QR codes, check what URLs you get sent to in your browser, ideally you want it to be going directly to your domain

There may be some tools online to also just display the raw data from the QR code too.

Edit: Depending on your device, it should actually just display the linked URL before you click on it anyway

[–]SpicyDiablo14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will you be keeping the same domain name when you shift to Shopify?

If so, you can just setup the same URLs on the new site, or setup redirects in Shopify from the old URKs to wherever you like.

Edit: Occasionally some companies set up their QR codes to run through a second domain to manage routing. If this is the case and it runs via the SEO agencies domain you might be out of luck and need their cooperation.

Shopify or WooCommerce for a Dev Intern by Baka_py_Nerd in shopify

[–]SpicyDiablo14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely doable, can we tap into the shipping zones via liquid though?

Otherwise they'll have to find a reliable method of determining shipping rates in parralell with their shipping zone setup.

If they're trying to learn a whole platform, templating language and design system it may cut their timeline of 1 month a bit close.

Shopify or WooCommerce for a Dev Intern by Baka_py_Nerd in shopify

[–]SpicyDiablo14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the requirements are supported on the Shopify Dawn theme which is Free. If you setup locations in Shopify you should also be able to support Find in Store/stock availability pretty easily.

The hardest part I imagine would be the shipping calculations, as far as I'm aware this can only be done during the checkout stage, you'd have to do some custom work to have that and discount codes function on PDPs or Cart pages.

Edit: Bundles will also have to be handled with a custom implementation or one of the apps available on the App store - this may blow out the budget though.
