What Makes 1lookup Different for Shopify
Shopify Phone Validation API App Integration
App Setup (Node.js + Express)
Create a Shopify app to integrate 1lookup validation into your store:
const express = require('express');
const { Shopify } = require('@shopify/shopify-api');
const fetch = require('node-fetch');
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
// 1lookup API configuration
const LOOKUP_API_KEY = process.env.LOOKUP_API_KEY;

}
const data = await response.json();

} catch (error) {
console.error('Phone validation error:', error);

}
// Validate email using 1lookup
async function validateEmail(email) {
try {

// Update Shopify order with validation metafields
async function updateOrderMetafields(shop, orderId, validationResults) {
const client = new Shopify.Clients.Rest(shop, process.env.SHOPIFY_ACCESS_TOKEN);

App Permissions Required
Your Shopify app needs: read_orders, write_orders, read_customers, write_customers permissions to access and update order data.
