Challenge
The client encountered a problem when manually handling inventory and product data updates between its main e-commerce platform and partner stores. Previous processes were time-consuming and error-prone, leading to:
Discrepancies in product availability between platforms.
Errors in the processing of orders due to the lack of current inventory.
Increased administrative costs due to the need to manually synchronize data.
The goal of the project was to create a solution that would automate data synchronization and improve communication between platforms, eliminating the above problems.
Solution
API on the main platform
A WordPress REST API based on the WordPress REST API was implemented on the main e-commerce platform. It enabled:
Automatic two-way inventory synchronization between the platform and partner stores.
Exchange product information, such as names, descriptions, photos and prices.
Automated handling of data updates.
On related e-commerce platforms, a dedicated plugin was implemented that synchronizes with the main platform. Plugin functionalities included:
Regular real-time product data updates.
Synchronize inventory, eliminating discrepancies between platforms.
Simplified integration through an intuitive configuration panel.
Plugins for partner stores
