I wish. The store relies on a fairly complex FTP (yes, FTP!) integration with the distributor for orders to be fulfilled. Not to mention all the metadata fields in the backend (Shopify) that allow the search and filtering to (barely) work.
I'd love to use NIP-99 but since I don't have physical products on hand at my location, I think my use case is currently beyond the scope.
Not a farfetched idea to integrate NIP-99 for sales and checkout, then use a Coordinator plugin to trigger a workflow that integrates to your existing stack. Another Coordinator plugin could be used to keep your stock in-sync with your Shopify product management suite, as well. That’s all a bit future-scope and custom for your use case, but I’d be excited to circle back in 2026 and map out what’s involved for your particular use case nostr:npub1c74n52sngtmceu96gxms7lsfcdz3gqsfla9swcdgt7wc0qw684zqfe2cj2
Yeah FTP is a SUPER common system for legacy distribution partners/warehouses to export data with (usually CSV files). Imagine if nostr could solve this with a univeral rpc api. I've used and built tools to aggregate these files for online stores in the past. It actually paid my bills for a bit XD
lfg
if NIP-99 could be my Shopify and what you're describing could be my distributor integration, we'd be on the verge af defining a new industry (and freeing up a lot of capital that currently pays for "platforms")
That’s pretty much what we’re trying to do. Plus in the Nostr world your “Shopify” also happens to post to the “Amazon” but people still contact you directly. Check out our Nostrbama presentation on the nostr:nprofile1qqsfmys8030rttmk77cumprnsqqt0whmg0fqkz3xcx8798ag8rf8z3spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t05tz7aq profile. We’re working hard to release an alpha. LMK if you want to be kept in the loop, we need good folks to help test
definitely keep me on the docket for early testers!
Not to disappoint, but this is not something I'm actively working on anymore. I took the project on at the fiat mines, to accumulate data from multiple smaller companies and create a CSV API endpoint that allowed services to fetch data. It's been a few years and I already forget the service we used. It basically took all CSV data and created a catalog for us, which we could sync with BigCommerce and shopify.
Id be way down to help someone else build the integrations they're needing though :)
