Two-Way Google Calendar Sync for Shopify Appointment Bookings

Shopify Google Calendar API Liquid OAuth 2.0 Webhooks
Developing practical solutions based on this demand…

Pain Points (Public)

Service-based merchants on Shopify face scheduling conflicts and manual overhead because standard storefronts lack automated, two-way calendar synchronization with business schedules in Google Calendar.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Integrate an embedded scheduling widget into Shopify and establish a bidirectional sync pipeline using the Google Calendar API so storefront bookings, reschedules, and manual calendar blocks update in real time.
