Examples

SSIS

Use Shopify Connector in API Source or in API Destination SSIS Data Flow components to read or write data.

API Destination

This Endpoint belongs to the Customers table, therefore it is better to use it, instead of accessing the endpoint directly. Use this table and table-operation pair to update a customer:

API Destination - Shopify

Shopify Connector can be used to integrate Shopify REST API in your App / BI Tools. You can read/write data about Customers, Orders, OrderItems, Products and more.

Shopify

Customers

Update

There are no parameters to configure.

ODBC application

Use these SQL queries in your ODBC application data source:

Update an existing customer record

UPDATE Customers SET
  Email = 'john.doe2@gmail.com',
  Phone = '7705553445',
  Note= 'This is a new note that needed to be added later.'
  WHERE Id=1111111111111

Update an existing customer record using RAW JSON Body (special column _rawdoc_)

Sometimes you have need to INSERT or UPDATE certain arrtibutes for which input columns not defined. In this case you can supply entire BODY JSON as input using special column name _rawdoc_

UPDATE Customers
SET _rawdoc_='{"customer":{"first_name":"John_new","last_name":"Doe_new","email":"a_new.doe@gmail.com","phone":"7705553111"}}'
WHERE Id=1111111111111

Update customers in BULK (read from external MS SQL database)

In this example we are reading customer Ids, Email, Notes from external source system (Microsoft SQL Server) and sending it to Shopify. Your column name must match with Input columns of the table you trying to update. See other BULK examples to learn more about reading from other systems using ODBC or OLEDB connection.

UPDATE Customers
SOURCE('MSSQL'
 ,'Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tempdb;Integrated Security=true'
 ,'select 111 as Id, ''a@a.com''Email , ''SOLD'' as Note,0 as [$$ContineOn404Error]
  UNION
  select 222 as Id, ''b@b.com''Email , ''SOLD'' as Note,0 as [$$ContineOn404Error]
  '
)

SQL Server

Use these SQL queries in SQL Server after you create a data source in Data Gateway:

Update an existing customer record

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'UPDATE Customers SET
  Email = ''john.doe2@gmail.com'',
  Phone = ''7705553445'',
  Note= ''This is a new note that needed to be added later.''
  WHERE Id=1111111111111';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY];

Update an existing customer record using RAW JSON Body (special column _rawdoc_)

Sometimes you have need to INSERT or UPDATE certain arrtibutes for which input columns not defined. In this case you can supply entire BODY JSON as input using special column name _rawdoc_

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'UPDATE Customers
SET _rawdoc_=''{"customer":{"first_name":"John_new","last_name":"Doe_new","email":"a_new.doe@gmail.com","phone":"7705553111"}}''
WHERE Id=1111111111111';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY];

Update customers in BULK (read from external MS SQL database)

Your column name must match with Input columns of the table you trying to update. See other BULK examples to learn more about reading from other systems using ODBC or OLEDB connection.

DECLARE @MyQuery NVARCHAR(MAX) = 'UPDATE Customers
SOURCE(''MSSQL''
 ,''Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=tempdb;Integrated Security=true''
 ,''select 111 as Id, ''''a@a.com''''Email , ''''SOLD'''' as Note,0 as [$$ContineOn404Error]
  UNION
  select 222 as Id, ''''b@b.com''''Email , ''''SOLD'''' as Note,0 as [$$ContineOn404Error]
  ''
)';

EXEC (@MyQuery) AT [LS_TO_SHOPIFY_IN_GATEWAY];
