Hi @ShadaW11 good afternoon... I've submitted the outline... please check it out and give me feedback. Thanks

[ShadaW11]

Hello @dpkreativ thank you for sharing the outline. Looks good, id suggest also check this video to make sure you provide new elements in this tutorial. Let me know if there is anything else you would like to add in the outline. Also, when would you be able to deliver the article?

[dpkreativ]

Thanks @ShadaW11. I think the article would be ready in a week. On 9th August.

[ShadaW11]

Hello @dpkreativ thanks for getting back to me. We will be releasing Strapi V4 at the end of august. I am afraid your tutorial will be outdated at the end of august after the release. Unless you can commit to updating your article right after the release, I would suggest that we postpone the article until after the V4 release.

[dpkreativ]

Oh okay... In that case, let me get started with it anyway, and I'll make the updates right after the release

[ShadaW11]

@dpkreativ awesome, while we pay for all the content written by our community including this article. However, content produced this month (august & September) should be updated by the author after the v4 without additional compensation. Just making sure that is okay for you? Can you please register as an author by filling the form here

Then please scroll to the FAQ section in the same page and go over the guidelines before you start writing, and the process on how to submit and issue an invoice.

[dpkreativ]

Yes, that's okay for me. I agree to update the article after v4 without additional compensation. @ShadaW11

[ShadaW11]

@dpkreativ Happy to hear that. Please go ahead and start working on the article. Make sure you follow the above steps mentioned before you start writing. Looking forward to receiving it.

[dpkreativ]

🥳 thanks @ShadaW11 looking forward to it 😁

[ShadaW11]

Hello @dpkreativ Your article is now published. Please check the FAQ to issue an invoice.

[akashkashhyap]

Hi, Thanks for the blog tutorial but it is more or less the same as what was explained in the earlier video on the same topic. As per this tutorial we have to copy product id from Shopify and add it to the ShopifyID field created on Strapi. Generally, there are multiple products for any ecommerce store. Would it means that we have to manually add ids to Strapi from Shopify?

[ShadaW11]

Hello @dpkreativ could you please update your tutorial to include a solution to adding multiple products?

[dpkreativ]

Okay @ShadaW11 Let me do some research and update the article accordingly. @akashkashhyap could you give me a few days to do that please?

[akashkashhyap]

@dpkreativ glad to hear from you. Yes please have a look at it. It would be really helpful for everyone who is looking for this type of integration.

[ShadaW11]

Great @dpkreativ happy to hear that.

[ShadaW11]

Hello @dpkreativ any update?

[dpkreativ]

Hi @ShadaW11, good morning.

Yes, I have been reading up on how to fully do the integration based on how @akashkashhyap requested it be done. I saw this article on Strapi's forum that gives some insight on how to go about it, so I would start from there.

I've been quite busy with work this past week so I've not had much time to work on the update, but I will get to it this week. Please give me some more time. It should be ready within 10 days from today. Thanks.

[ShadaW11]

@dpkreativ awesome, no worries take your time and looking forward to it.

[akashkashhyap]

Thank you @ShadaW11 for the follow up. Yes @dpkreativ it would be great if you can come up with a solid solution even if it takes some time.

[dpkreativ]

Thanks a lot. I'll be sure to post updates on the progress of the article. Have a lovely day @ShadaW11 @akashkashhyap

[ShadaW11]

Hello @dpkreativ any update? apologies for pushing you but your payment is still on hold until the article is updated.

[dpkreativ]

Hi @ShadaW11 we just recently concluded exams in my school so that has been my focus these past few weeks. I understand why the payment is on hold and I'll do my best to update the article this month. Thanks

[ShadaW11]

@dpkreativ no worries, you exams are a priority. Take your time

[dpkreativ]

Thanks @ShadaW11

[ShadaW11]

any update @dpkreativ

[ShadaW11]

@dpkreativ Any update?

[ShadaW11]

hey @dpkreativ any update?

[dpkreativ]

yeah so sorry 😅 Should be ready by weekend... Sorry about the late replies. I've been having a lot of emails, and I missed the notifications

[ShadaW11]

Hey hey, no worries at all. @dpkreativ any update? your payment is still pending.

[ShadaW11]

Hey @dpkreativ any update on this?

[PaulBratslavsky]

To ensure that we can review and publish articles promptly, we will start closing inactive issues after two weeks of inactivity.

I know it has been a while @dpkreativ , but I just wanted to follow up with everyone here to see if anyone is still interested in writing this article. If not, we will be closing this issue due to inactivity.

[dpkreativ]

Hi @PaulBratslavsky yeah I'm still interested in writing the article.

Here's the thing though: I did write the article earlier and it has been published https://strapi.io/blog/integrate-shopify-into-your-strapi-website

I also sent in an invoice, but it hasn't been paid yet.

Then someone raised an issue on it, and I was asked to update the article, but before I got round to it, it seems the person sorted out their issue https://github.com/strapi/community-content/issues/496#issuecomment-910189220, and it has been closed.

So I'm at a crossroads right now; I don't know what to do next. Please, what do you suggest?

[PaulBratslavsky]

@dpkreativ I will look into this and get back to you as soon as I find out more. Thank you for letting me know.

[dpkreativ]

You're welcome @PaulBratslavsky

[dpkreativ]

Hi @PaulBratslavsky Please, what's the latest update on this issue?

[PaulBratslavsky]

@dpkreativ Will look to sort out why the invoice is taking a while.

[dpkreativ]

Okay @PaulBratslavsky Still waiting 🤝

[PaulBratslavsky]

I am having @malgamves take a look into the last invoice.

[dpkreativ]

Okay, Thanks @PaulBratslavsky!

[dpkreativ]

Please, @PaulBratslavsky & @malgamves, when this issue gets sorted out, I would prefer to send a new invoice because I recently updated my account details. Thanks 🙏🏾 🙌🏾

[malgamves]

Hey @dpkreativ I can't find your invoice, what name did you use? Here is the new invoice form, could you submit all pending ones?
