How to integrate 3rd party api in shopify?

I have created a Shopify store and now I want to send orders to the 3rd party e-commerce website. I have 3rd party API but I don’t know how to integrate it in my Shopify store. Could anyone explain to me the steps to make an app to integrate 3rd party API?

PS: I am new to Shopify

Thanks

    Hi you can use a Shopify webhooks functionality

    Go to admin = >settings =>Notifications

    than in the bottom you will see a 

    create webhook option

    click on create webhook and select event from dropdwon and 

    specify the path of your api where you want the shopify order data.

It will send all the data to your api whenever your order will be placed/update.

    Hope ths will help.

    Here is a recipe you can follow based on experience. I have done this 20+ times and I can tell you you are looking at about 5-10 hours of work to get it done.

    • open up a Shopify Partner account
    • login as a partner and navigate to Apps
    • create an App and set it to run at your favourite cloud provider
    • install the App in your shop
    • add an endpoint in your App to accept Shopify webhooks
    • parse the webhook data when it arrives so you can send that data to your 3rd party API
    • add the code to contact your 3rd party API and send them the data

    That is all there is to it. Standard web/internet computing with a bit of oAuth token exchange with Shopify, a simple web App on your part, and the connection to a service for data exchange.
