Ok, this is the situation: I have an ecommerce bridge set up for a webshop. Working like a charm. But because of a couple of reasons I need to use the Rest API for connecting ANOTHER external service. I’ve managed to create contacts, companies and deals using the API, but I get stuck at the very end: creating and associating LINE_ITEMs Extremely frustrating!
When using the API to create a LINE ITEM, I can’t connect them to the products that were synced with the ecomm bridge…I have no idea why that’s not possible, but it isn’t. In a post I found the solution was to add the product using the API as well. But somehow it is not allowed to add products using the API…(beside the point, that it seems very inefficient to add the same products twice to the hs db).
When I use the ecomm bridge to sync the line items, I can’t associate them to the deal, because the ecomm bridge only accepts the deal id of the source, not the Hubspot deal id. Are there property names I’m missing here? Something like hs_deal_id I can use for the ecomm bridge?
Can someone please point me to a solution (other then multiple stores in the ecomm bridge).
I contacted support and the products option requires another subscription we don’t have. So that leaves me with 2 options:
1) Is there a way to associate the line item using the ecomm bridge with a deal, using the hubspot deal id? So is there a hubspot_deal_id like property available? This would be my preferred method as that would be a 1 minute job for me.
2) If option 1 is not possible, my only alternative is to recode the hole thing using the new (at least for me) multiple stores feature. When I create and sync this second store, can I leave my original ecomm bridge code for the first store unchanged? So will the original code automatically default to the first/default ecomm bridge store? That would save me a bunch of work.
Extremely frustrating!
