Hello,
We’ve built a custom web application that connects with multiple platforms, including Stripe, Pipedrive, WooCommerce, and Shopify.
Our users link their accounts/shops through Pipedream, and once connected, our app retrieves data using that Pipedream connection. At the moment, we use a non-OAuth approach for all integrations.
The app is production-ready and functioning well, but we also want to have a presence in the app marketplaces of all the platforms we support—allowing users to connect via Pipedream as they do now.
During our research, we discovered that on WordPress/WooCommerce, it’s possible to publish a plugin that doesn’t require OAuth or direct integration. The plugin could simply introduce users to our custom app through text and videos, and then direct them to our web app for actual functionality. In other words, the plugin itself would not perform any integration—it would just serve as a marketing and onboarding tool.
We're wondering if a similar approach is possible for Stripe, Pipedrive, and Shopify. Our goal is to continue using Pipedream for all connections and authentication, without building separate OAuth implementations for each platform.
Has anyone here explored this setup or have past experience using Pipedream alongside these platforms for marketplace presence without a native OAuth flow?
