How to enable dynamic files in Shopify

You just need to implement the API endpoint that generates the product pdf and returns the link to the file.

This endpoint is called by our app before the order is placed to Cloudprinter.com.

Go to the Settings of the Cloudprinter Shopify app (Settings - Advanced), where you need to specify the link to the API endpoint and generate a security token.

If your infrastructure supports it, make sure HTTP/2 is enabled on the endpoint.

Request:

Here is an example of the call sent to your service:

HTTP request:

POST https://your-service.example.com/get-products-files-endpoint
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer {{security token}}

Body:

{
  "orderId": "*",
  "itemId": "*",
  "fileTypes": ["product"]
}

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
orderId	Shopify order ID
itemId	Shopify order line item ID
fileTypes	List of file types for which you need to generate PDF

Response:

• Your endpoint must respond with a 2XX status code (e.g. 200, 201, 204, etc).
• Your endpoint must respond within 5 seconds

    {
      "type": "product",

      "md5sum": "md5 sum of the file"
    }
  ]
}
