In the previous article in this series, we did the following: Joined Shopify's Partner Program Created a new test shop Launched a new test shop Added an app to the test shop Played around with a couple of quick API calls through the browser In this article, we'll take a look at some of the calls that you can make to Shopify's API and how they relate to the various parts of your shop. This will give you an idea of what Shopify shops are like as well as show you to control them programmatically. My Shop, via the Admin Page I've set up a test shop called Joey's World O' Stuff for this series of articles. Feel free to visit it at any time. It lives at this URL: https://nienow-kuhlman-and-gleason1524.myshopify.com/ If you followed along with the last article, you also have a test shop with a similarly URL. Test shop URLs are randomly generated. The shops themselves are meant to be temporary; they're for experimenting with themes, apps and content. We'll work with real shops later in this series, and they'll have URLs that make sense. If you were to visit the URL for my test shop at the time of this writing, you'd see something like this: The admin panel for any shop can be accessed by adding /admin to the end of its base URL.

Click on Preferences, then in the menu that pops up, click on General Settings: You should now see the General Settings page, which should look like this: The fields on the screen capture of this page are a little small, so I'll list them below: Shop name: Joey's World O' Stuff Email: joey@shopify.com Shop address: Street: 31 Spooner Street Zip: 02903 City: Quahog Country: United States State: Rhode Island Phone: (555) 555-5555 Order ID formatting: #{{number}} Timezone: (GMT-05:00)
