Shopify and Foxway API Bridge Development

We are looking for an experienced developer or development team to build a bridge integration between Foxway Market & Dropshipping API and Shopify. The goal is to automatically import and maintain selected products from the supplier’s API, apply custom pricing logic, and handle dropshipping orders bidirectionally, including order statuses and tracking. 1) Environment & Technology E-shop platform: Shopify Supplier: Foxway Market & Dropshipping API (Swagger documentation, test & production API keys available) Preferred solution: Shopify module or External integration service (bridge) connected via Shopify Webservice API Must support separate test and production environments 2) Functional Requirements – MVP A) Product Catalog Import & Management The integration must import products from Foxway API into Shopify. It must be possible to select which products are imported (not the full catalog). Filtering options must include: Item group / product type (mobiles, tablets, smartwatches, laptops, etc.) Manufacturer / brand Condition / grade (if available in API data) Availability (quantity > 0) Manual SKU whitelist / blacklist Product creation: Minimum required mode: 1 SKU = 1 simple product SKU must be stored and mapped for future updates Products must be updated automatically: price updates stock quantity / availability updates Behavior when stock = 0 must be configurable (disable product / out of stock) B) Pricing Logic (Mandatory) Foxway provides NET wholesale prices in EUR. The shop sells in EUR. The integration must include a pricing engine with: Manual exchange rate (set in admin) OR automatic exchange rate (e.g. ECB / CNB / other – developer proposal) Optional exchange rate safety margin (e.g. +0.5–2%) Configurable update frequency (manual / daily) Exchange rate changes must: affect product prices only never retroactively affect existing orders Price calculation flow: Foxway NET price (EUR) Margin application Rounding VAT handled by Shopify configuration Margin rules: Percentage markup Fixed markup Combination of percentage + fixed Minimum margin / minimum selling price Ability to define rules per: product category / item group brand price range (optional) C) Dropshipping Orders (Bidirectional) When an order is created in Shopify, the integration must: create a dropshipping order via Foxway API send SKU, quantity, order reference send customer delivery address, email, phone send payment status (paid / unpaid) Supported workflows: Create order only after payment OR create order first and confirm payment later (reservation logic) Order synchronization: Import order statuses from Foxway: Open Pending In Process Shipped Cancelled Map these statuses to Shopify order states When status = “Shipped”, retrieve tracking number(s) and update Shopify Order cancellation: Cancellation from Shopify must be propagated to Foxway when allowed by order state 3) Phase 2 – Optional Extensions (Priced Separately) A) Product Variants & Deduplication Support 1 product = model, SKUs as variants (e.g. condition, storage, color) B) Availability Re-check Real-time availability check immediately before order submission to avoid overselling C) AI Content Enrichment Since API data may only contain SKU, price, and basic name: Automatic generation of: product title (EN/CZ – CZ required) short & long description bullet points SEO meta title & description Must follow templates for refurbished / used products Must never overwrite manually edited products Optional image enrichment: lookup by model external database developer-proposed solution (AI images acceptable only if clearly illustrative) D) Documents & Invoices Download invoices / pro-forma documents from Foxway Optionally upload documents to Foxway orders (packing slip, branding) 4) Administration & Operations Admin configuration for: API credentials (test / production) catalog filters pricing rules currency conversion sync schedules Logging: catalog imports price/stock updates order creation & status sync error handling Retry mechanisms for failed API calls Orders must never be lost due to temporary API issues 5) Provided by Us Foxway API documentation & Swagger URLs Test and production API keys Shopify access / staging environment Pricing & category strategy 6) What to Include in Your Response Please include: Proposed architecture (Shopify module vs external bridge) Time and cost estimate: MVP Phase 2 extensions Relevant experience (Shopify, ERP/API integrations, dropshipping) Proposal for AI content generation (if applicable)
