Yes, you can control merchandising programmatically. Dynasort’s Connector API (Pro and Enterprise plans) exposes collections, products, and sorting recipes over authenticated HTTP, so your team can create or switch recipes, manage collections, and adjust merchandising from your own systems instead of clicking through an admin. Typical drivers are ERP or PIM integration, scheduled campaign swaps, and merchandising logic that lives in your own codebase.
What can you do through the API?
The Connector API authenticates with a bearer token and covers the day-to-day objects of merchandising:
- Recipes: create, update, and assign sorting recipes, so a campaign switch or seasonal change can ship as a deploy instead of an admin session.
- Collections: read and manage the collections Dynasort is sorting, including which recipe each one uses.
- Products: programmatic access for product-level control such as pinning.
Because Dynasort itself works through Shopify APIs with no theme changes, API-driven changes reach the storefront the same way dashboard changes do.
When is API control worth it?
Three situations come up repeatedly. First, systems integration: your ERP or PIM already knows margins, stock priorities, or campaign calendars, and can push merchandising changes directly. Second, scale: an operation running hundreds of collections wants merchandising changes in version control and rollout scripts, not click-paths. Third, timing: scheduled swaps (the sale starts at midnight, the recipe changes with it) that nobody wants to do by hand. If none of these apply, the dashboard is simpler; the API exists for teams whose merchandising logic lives in code.
The Connector API is available on Pro and Enterprise plans, with full reference material in the documentation.
