Zoho Creator - Integration with Shopify Checkout/Storefront API

What

This is a not so quick article on how to build up a checkout cart page with Zoho Creator which directs the customer to a Shopify payment page.

Working principle

Part of Something Bigger

My work sits within a wider delivery team at Ascent Business Solutions, recognised as a leading Zoho Premium Solutions Partner in the United Kingdom. Clients are supported by a team rather than an individual, covering everything from small technical fixes through to full Zoho CRM migrations and complex implementations. The team I manage focuses on API integrations between Zoho and platforms such as Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce and eBay, solving problems that are often undocumented or previously unsuccessful. Outcomes are measured in practical terms, including improved efficiency, scalable systems and clear returns, from helping new ventures grow into six-figure monthly operations to delivering rapid gains through streamlined payments and automated, data-driven processes.
