Table of Contents
Retrieving a count of checkouts will tell you how many clients abandon the checkout after the first page. It will collect a count of checkouts from the past 90 days.
Today, I will show you how to retrieve a count of checkouts with Shopify API using Postman.
Step 1 : Generate API credentials from the Shopify admin
- Log in to your Shopify admin
- Go to Apps – Manage private apps
- Click Create a new private app
- In the App details section, enter a name for your app, and an emergency developer email.
- In the Admin API section, select the areas of your store that you want the app to access
- Click Save
The Admin API section displays the app’s API key and password when you save the app’s details.
Step 2: Retrieves A Count Of Checkouts With Postman
Log in to your Postman and create a new workspace
Create a new request with this URL:
https://{username}:{password}@{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/api/{api-version}/{resource}.json- {username} – The API key that you generated.
- {password} – The API password that you generated.
- {shop} – The name of your development store.
- {api-version} – The supported API version that you want to use.
- {resource} – A resource endpoint from the REST Admin API.
Or you can copy this example in the Shopify Admin, remember change {resource} to {checkouts/count}:
