Use API v2 to work with Customer Group Prices - magento

We are using a tool to integrate our financial software with Magento.
Does anyone know a way to write and read the Customer Group Prices with API v2?
Each customer has a different agreed price for products in Dynamics GP and we need to match this price in Magento.
This way, when a Customer logs into the Magento site, their agreed price will be displayed in all simple products.

Integrating an external API at shipping section on bigcommerce

My supplier offers an API to check programmatically shipping fees in real-time . His API can work with any system that supports https protocol and can be used with any programming language.
By preparing data to upload into BC, I faced an issue in shipping fees calculation on how it can be displayed to customers. The option of flat rate or free shipping can't work for me since we target worldwide destination and not for a specific country.
So, my questions are as follow:
Is it possible to customize the shipping section by integrating the
supplier's API, and display shipping fees from there based on the
entered delivery address?
If so, these displayed shipping fees can
be added programmatically to the total price of the order ?
In that case, which programming languages are allowed by BC to achieve this
goal?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

International eCommerce with Shopify

We are a USA based company with international presence and we are looking at setting up a store to sell digital goods worldwide through credit card purchases (i.e. no shipping involved). So far I've set up two accounts, one using a US postal address and one using a UK postal address,
The US postal address seems to give me an account that uses Shopify
Payments for the payment gateway and only seems to be USD based.
The UK postal address gives me the option to use a payment gateway
provided by someone called Sofort and all prices are in UK pounds.
At this rate of progress I'm going to need a mailing address and an email address and a unique site for every country in the world if we want to support local currencies. I guess I've missed the point somewhere soon the line, hence this request for guidance. Thanks!
What is the best strategy for us to use Shopify to sell to many countries worldwide in multiple currencies.
Shopify doesn't offer multi-currency on the checkout process. You can display the prices in many currencies in your storefront (product.liquid, collections.liquid, cart.liquid....) but when user reaches checkout (https://checkout.shopify.com/carts/xxxx/ the displayed currency will be the Store default currency. You might want to give a try to Shopify Plus.
Opening multiple Shopify stores would solve this, but this is quite hard to maintain, unless you have the "master" store which serves as product database / CMS, and you send the checkouts to each particular store depending on the currency the buyer has choosen. So in this scenario, you'd have multiple Shopify stores serving only as "checkout processors".
Last but not least, Shopify is working on a Brand New Responsive Checkout and Theme Internationalization which will definitely be a step beyond on Internationalization. We can set you up a free Shopify demo store which has this 2 new features enabled for you to evaluate whether it's worth waiting or not.
UPDATE
We've released this Shopify customization which allows you to accept as many currencies as you want in the Checkout: https://exclusive-checkout-demo.myshopify.com
I found a chat window to a Shopify guru who sent me these two links:

Is it possible to allow users to purchase simple products and nominal products (subscriptions) together with Credit Card in Magento?

Is it possible to allow users to purchase simple products and nominal products (subscriptions) together with Credit Card in Magento?
Presently PayPal does not allow to purchase products and nominal products (subscriptions) together for sure.
But is there any possibility that we can allow this payment using Credit Card?
If yes, then will there be any issue with the recurring payments received from customers?
If you can accept subscriptions (which is a pci compliance issue but specific to your gateway and processor)
Aheadworks has a subscriptions and recurring payments module that would allow you to accept subscriptions and regular items to be purchased at checkout. Hope this helps

Magento - Add comments to product reviews

On our e-commerce site, we get a lot of product reviews from people who had problems with our products. Many of these problems could be resolved by our customer service call center. I would like to know if there's a way to write a response to a customer's review so we can help customers troubleshoot, show off our company's excellent customer service skills, and negate some of the bad reviews on the site. These comments should show up on the front-end with the reviews, and only certain admin users should be allowed to submit a comment. Does anyone know of an extension or any other way to accomplish this?
In magento there is a feature of giving review to the product,Which is not showing unless or until the admin approve the review from admin side catelog-> Reviews and Rating -> Customer Reviews -> Pending Reviews so it will show the list of review given by customer to that particular products so based on that you can able to get an idea about the reviews of customer regarding that products.
let me know if any queries still there
Late on this, however this might helpful to others: there is an extension that does exactly this on Codecanyon: Product Review Comments
