I was able to follow the tutorial without getting any error messages. However, I’m totally lost with regard to the following: I created a product in Strapi and I created a product in Shopify. When I paste the URL http://localhost:1337/products/1 I get the expected response. What is not obvious in this blog post is that the response has two sections: On the top information from Strapi and further down information from Shopify.
Now, what has happened is that I have created two separate entries of the product: one in Strapi and one in Shopify, but I fail to see any meaningful integration here. Instead, there are two parallel responses. However, the purpose of integration would be to be able to enter the information of a product either in Shopify or in Strapi (preferably Strapi), and then the information would be automatically shared and accessed in the other end. Now I’m only making double work by creating two parallel instances of the product with overlapping fields, which is meaningless.
So what would be a meaningful way to benefit from Strapis capability to get information from Shopify through the API? Could the information from Shopify be made visible in Strapi’s Admin Panel?
Also, how could this integration be made to work the other way around, i.e. data would be entered in Strapi and be visible in Sopify. This would clearly require a separate tutorial.
Please advise me.
