App details

API Helper

API Helper

NOTE: This Shopify app is a tool for frontend developers. It requires a basic understanding of the Javascript programming language.

API Helper simplifies AJAX email sign ups and discount code creation for Shopify. The app provides a secure frontend API that provides access to important functions from Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend and Shopify that are not accessible due to CORS policies inside of Shopify themes.

The app currently has modules for:

  • Klaviyo (subscribe, unsubscribe, backinstock, track)
  • Mailchimp (subscribe, unsubscribe)
  • Omnisend (subscribe, unsubscribe)
  • Shopify (subscribe, unsubscribe, unique discount code create)

API Helper provides a simple callback and standard response structure that makes life so much easier. API Helper also allows for plug-and-play or 'hot swap' customer sign-ups between Klaviyo, Mailchimp, Omnisend, and Shopify. If you are a Shopify development agency or a freelancer with many clients, this could save you hours of time.

There are no scripts required to use the app. After enabling your first app module inside of the app, our js file from the API Helper app is injected into your theme at the end of page load. This file is less than 2KB. The file is removed immediately when the app's modules are disabled or the app is uninstalled.

Integrates with

  • Klaviyo

  • Discounts API

    Use this app to simplify a front end newsletter sign up and integrates opt-in amongst other things. This was exactly what I needed and makes it so easy!! Amazing app, cannot recommend enough. The only think I am concerned about is how up to date it is kept? If I use this and rely on it, will it be reliable in 3 years time for example? Thanks so much!
