Shopify and Foxway API Bridge Development

We are looking for an experienced developer or development team to build a bridge integration between Foxway Market & Dropshipping API and Shopify.
The goal is to automatically import and maintain selected products from the supplier’s API, apply custom pricing logic, and handle dropshipping orders bidirectionally, including order statuses and tracking.
1) Environment & Technology
E-shop platform: Shopify
Supplier: Foxway Market & Dropshipping API (Swagger documentation, test & production API keys available)
Preferred solution:
Shopify module or
External integration service (bridge) connected via Shopify Webservice API
Must support separate test and production environments
2) Functional Requirements – MVP
A) Product Catalog Import & Management
The integration must import products from Foxway API into Shopify.
It must be possible to select which products are imported (not the full catalog).
Filtering options must include:
Item group / product type (mobiles, tablets, smartwatches, laptops, etc.)
Manufacturer / brand
Condition / grade (if available in API data)
Availability (quantity > 0)
Manual SKU whitelist / blacklist
Product creation:
Minimum required mode: 1 SKU = 1 simple product
SKU must be stored and mapped for future updates
Products must be updated automatically:
price updates
stock quantity / availability updates
Behavior when stock = 0 must be configurable (disable product / out of stock)
B) Pricing Logic (Mandatory)
Foxway provides NET wholesale prices in EUR.
The shop sells in EUR.
The integration must include a pricing engine with:

Manual exchange rate (set in admin)
OR automatic exchange rate (e.g. ECB / CNB / other – developer proposal)
Optional exchange rate safety margin (e.g. +0.5–2%)
Configurable update frequency (manual / daily)
Exchange rate changes must:
affect product prices only
never retroactively affect existing orders
Price calculation flow:
Foxway NET price (EUR)

Margin application
Rounding
VAT handled by Shopify configuration
Margin rules:
Percentage markup
Fixed markup
Combination of percentage + fixed
Minimum margin / minimum selling price

Ability to define rules per:
product category / item group
brand
price range (optional)
C) Dropshipping Orders (Bidirectional)
When an order is created in Shopify, the integration must:
create a dropshipping order via Foxway API
send SKU, quantity, order reference
send customer delivery address, email, phone
send payment status (paid / unpaid)
Supported workflows:
Create order only after payment
OR create order first and confirm payment later (reservation logic)
Order synchronization:
Import order statuses from Foxway:
Open
Pending
In Process
Shipped
Cancelled
Map these statuses to Shopify order states
When status = “Shipped”, retrieve tracking number(s) and update Shopify
Order cancellation:
Cancellation from Shopify must be propagated to Foxway when allowed by order state
3) Phase 2 – Optional Extensions (Priced Separately)
A) Product Variants & Deduplication
Support 1 product = model, SKUs as variants (e.g. condition, storage, color)
B) Availability Re-check
Real-time availability check immediately before order submission to avoid overselling
C) AI Content Enrichment
Since API data may only contain SKU, price, and basic name:
Automatic generation of:
product title (EN/CZ – CZ required)
short & long description
bullet points
SEO meta title & description
Must follow templates for refurbished / used products
Must never overwrite manually edited products
Optional image enrichment:
lookup by model
external database
developer-proposed solution (AI images acceptable only if clearly illustrative)
D) Documents & Invoices
Download invoices / pro-forma documents from Foxway
Optionally upload documents to Foxway orders (packing slip, branding)
4) Administration & Operations
Admin configuration for:
API credentials (test / production)
catalog filters
pricing rules
currency conversion
sync schedules
Logging:
catalog imports
price/stock updates
order creation & status sync
error handling
Retry mechanisms for failed API calls
Orders must never be lost due to temporary API issues
5) Provided by Us
Foxway API documentation & Swagger URLs
Test and production API keys
Shopify access / staging environment
Pricing & category strategy
6) What to Include in Your Response
Please include:
Proposed architecture (Shopify module vs external bridge)
Time and cost estimate:
MVP
Phase 2 extensions
Relevant experience (Shopify, ERP/API integrations, dropshipping)
