Can you change the shortID from SKU to variant ID? (Shopify integration)

i'm writing on behalf of our client MOEBE.

Our developer has a problem with the way Roomle use the shortID which is used to add the items into the cart. He says that we need to change the shortID from SKU to product variant ID. Shopify doesn’t allow the cart API to use SKU to add items in the basket.

Alternative if we can get access to the backend in Roomle, then he will be able to create a map between the SKU and variant ID.

Sadly shopify do not allow using SKU codes using Ajax API.

If you modify the process of adding to the cart You probably need use some try and error run.

The very fact of adding a product to the cart can be largely solved by extending the JS code on the product page.

I suggest listing the variants of the product to the variable in the liquid template and using an additional script to handle adding to the cart. It might look dirty, but it will work.

<script type="text/javascript">
    var product= `{{ product | json }}`; //Whole product variable
    var variant_id = {{ product.variants[0].id }}; //First product variant id
</script>

Do you have one variant per product or more?
