Deep Linking Options
Loop offers three approaches for implementing deep links, depending on your needs and integration requirements.1. Deep Link API
The Deep Link API enables you to create deep links programmatically using the Generate Order Link endpoint. This method requires:- A Loop shop ID
- An API key
- The Shopify order name
- The order shipping ZIP code
2. Partner (Third-Party App) Deep Link API
Designed for Loop partners, this API enables deep linking into multiple customer return portals without requiring:- Individual merchant API keys
- Shipping ZIP codes
- The customer portal domain (which may vary per merchant)
3. Dynamic URL
If you have the customer return portal domain, order name, and shipping ZIP code, you can construct a deep link directly using a dynamic URL. Customers are taken directly to their return without needing to input their order details. URL Format:https://{return_portal_domain}/?order={order_name}&zip={zip_code}
