It is not possible to update a checkout object via Shopiy's Admin REST API unless the custom app created the checkout object.

Per Shopify Staff:

The checkout PUT endpoint is intended to only be used to modify checkouts that were created by that same app.

Drupal 8 - Sending Faxes with Twilio

Drupal 8 - Sending Faxes with Twilio useradmin Sun, 12/06/2020 - 08:53

Yep, you read the title correctly and it says “fax.” Faxes are still used more than I thought, and it is really cool that Twilio has an API to send and receive faxes that is quite easy to use.

Today in this post I will be talking about sending faxes from your Drupal website. Which is quite easy and doesn’t take much code to achieve.

I have pulled together a code example from the Twilio API documents and as you can see below there isn’t much there.

use Twilio\Rest\Client;

$twilio = new Client($sid, $token); $to = “+1234567890”; $from = “+0987654321”; $document = “https://example.com/document.pdf”; $response = twilio->fax->v1->faxes->create($to, $document,["from" => $from]);

A couple of notes on the Twilio fax API:

There isn’t much of a response back which can make error handling or logging a little difficult.
The document being faxed must be a PDF.

I have been working on many Drupal commerce projects both Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 and I have encountered the need for multiple currencies many times. Drupal 8 has made it very easy to have multiple currencies. The tricky part is when and how to switch from one currency to another.

That is where the Drupal's commerce currency resolver module comes in handy. The commerce currency resolver module makes it easy to switch between currencies and has also automated a currency conversion when a price has not be set in the currency the user wants to use. e.g. The stores base currency is USD or EUR and you need 2, 4 or even 10 currencies. Maintaining all of these prices could be tricky and hard to maintain. On a side note and another possible blog post, using commerce feeds, each product variation's price could be imported and maintained.

The commerce currency resolver is a really good module to get multi-currency out of the box especially if you allow your users to select their currency. Actually, in this case, it is perfect. Now if you want some automation with auto currency selection. e.g. To have the Drupal commerce project auto-select the user's currency, a small module will be needed.

That is exactly what I did this for a recent Drupal commerce project where I needed to auto select a user's currency based on their location (GEO IP based currency detection). To do this I created a small module that leverages both the commerce currency resolver's cookie-based currency selection and the smart IP module to leverage the user's location. Now the Drupal commerce project has GEO IP based currency selection.

Exchange Rates API

Wow, what a great little API. Exchange Rates API is a free API that helps with currency conversion rates.

All that needs to be sent is the base currency and the currency that you want to convert. Then the conversion rate is returned. Making it simple.

Example

GET Request: https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest?base=USD&symbols=GBP

Result: {"base":"EUR","rates":{"USD":1.1264,"GBP":0.86168},"date":"2019-04-11"}

Another option is to send a base currency and to get the currency rates of multiple currencies. This can be done in one API call.

Example

GET Request: https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest?base=EUR&symbols=USD,GBP,HKD

Result: {"base":"EUR","rates":{"USD":1.1264,"HKD":8.8354,"GBP":0.86168},"date":"2019-04-11"}

Video Update! Drupal Backend and Commerce Development

Video Update! Drupal Backend and Commerce Development useradmin Fri, 03/01/2019 - 03:41

Body

Looking for a Drupal developer? Specifically a Drupal Commerce or a backend developer? Then you came to the right place.
I am a backend Drupal developer with extensive experience working with Drupal Commerce for both Drupal 7 and 8 for over seven years now.

My niche is to customize Drupal Commerce functionality according to clients specifications. Types of customization include checkout flows, catalogs, products, and user sessions. I have also created various proprietary Drupal commerce tools for clients such as warehouse management, product borrowing, purchase orders, and products on hold.

I also enhance Drupal projects to integrate and automate custom business functionality and globalize my client's websites.
Globalize you ask? Improving websites to be multilingual, GDPR compliant, multi-currency, and tax reconciliation, Sales Tax and VAT tax.

As for business functionality, the end goal is to automate and integrate business process that help my clients with their business workflow. A couple of examples: Setting up a REST API for consuming orders to eliminate email and custom PDF generation.

There are many examples of PDF generation, but my favorite is batching PDFs for a print company. An employee would spend at least eight hours a day generating PDFs. Now the PDFs are generated automatically without error and as orders come through. The employee also thanked me for eliminating this tedious job.

Thank you for watching my video. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Have a great day!
