About 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 1.4KB and served from Google's CDN. The file is removed immediately when the app's modules are disabled or the app is uninstalled.

Integrates with

  • Klaviyo,
  • Mailchimp,
  • Omnisend,
  • Discounts API

Sorry for your issue! There was a change to Shopify's API version that affected the discount code creation. The issue has been resolved on our end. Please uninstall the app and reinstall — the issue should be now be fixed. Please reach out if you have any further issues.

As advertised. We used this app to rewrite our newsletter signups, saved us a bunch of code and was nice
