Integration Covers
This integration will allow you to have your customers place orders using Shopify. Upon order acceptance, a notification will be sent to the LMS by Shopify. When this notification is received by EduBrite, it will perform the following actions:
If the order doesn't involve any item with more than 1 quantity, then:
- The LMS will try to locate a user with a matching email ID of the customer (from the order details in cart).
- If a user is not found, then a new user will get created using the Email as the username, First name, Last name, Address, City, State, Zip and Phone number (these fields must be captured in Shopify).
- The user will be enrolled in the course session corresponding to the ordered item. The mapping of the Shopify item to a course session will be attempted by using the product's SKU and finding a course session in the LMS with a matching External ID.
- If no course session is found, the LMS will try to locate a program session with an External ID matching the same SKU.
- If a matching program session is found, then the user will be enrolled in it.
- The enrollment will be performed for all ordered items in the same manner as described above.
If the order has an item with a quantity greater than 1:
- A user will be located with a matching email; if not found, a new user will be created similar to the above case.
- This order will be considered a Group order, and the LMS will perform the same steps as in the previous case and will try to find a matching course session or program session.
- If a match is found, it will generate a full value coupon code for the mapped course session/program session with a usage count equal to the quantity of the item in the cart.
- The coupon will be sent in an email to the user, who can share it with other users who need to enroll.
Setup
Step1: - Access Shopify Settings -> Notifications -> Webhooks Section
Step 2 - Create a Webhook for the Order Creation and Order payment events.
Notification URL - http://<your-lms-microsite>/oltpublish/site/shopifyAction.do
Step 3 - Add both webhooks and copy the Shopify signature key.
Step 4 - In EduBrite, add the Shopify secret key and message expiry period (optional parameter) under Site Details -> Customization. Also, add the ID of the Training group (or any group where you will create the externally available course session or program session).
Step 5: - Setting the course session and linking it with the Shopify product using SKU:
Create a course session and specify the external-ID.
In Shopify, setup the product and specify the SKU to be the same as the course session's external ID in the LMS.
Test the integration by setting up a low-priced product.
NOTE:
The LMS will try to locate a user with a matching email ID from the Shopify order details.
Recommended settings :
1. Enforce Email ID uniqueness at the site level to ensure correct user account gets enrolled in the course session/program session/event.
2. Use email as username - to keep user's email and username same.
This setting can be enabled from Site Admin > Site Details - Security tab.
