Out of curiosity, is there any reason why you are not using a dedicated shopping solution? (Eg. Shopify, Prestashop)

Hola,

If you want to show your JSON payload as rows in Glide to see your data, the answer is yes!. But if you want to save/log this data permanently in your GT, you will have to create some manual action fired by user later (maybe, a button with some actions) to carry it out.

Here you can see how this might look by using a transpose method: [A Google Sheet working as a REST API: good or bad idea? 💣](https://community.glideapps.com/t/a-google-sheet-working-as-a-rest-api-good-or-bad-idea/35668)

Saludos!
