E-shop with API connecting to external database/warehouse

E-shop with API connecting to external database/warehouse

Hello,

 

I want to start my own e-shop to sell game keys.

 

I have found a few suppliers who operate credibly (I haven't found any bad reviews or articles). They all offer to link the e-shop to their warehouse through their API, where I can upload products from the supplier's database to the e-shop. In practice, it works roughly as the customer orders a game key on the e-shop and pays, the e-shop sends the information via the API to the "warehouse", the warehouse sends the code to the e-shop and the e-shop sends the code to the customer.

 

At the same time I will sell in the Czech Republic and therefore in the Czech language and in Czech currency (CZK). This means I need to translate everything into Czech, set my own currency and price. At the same time, so that the API doesn't overwrite my modified products (translated into Czech) with the original data from the supplier's database (in English).

 

I am considering the following suppliers:
https://prepaidforge.com/ 
https://genbadigital.com/ 
https://www.vaultn.com/ 
https://codeswholesale.com/

 

Does anyone have experience with something like this?
Is it possible to set this up with Shopify?

 

Thank you. 🙂

 

PS: Pokud je tu někdo česky/slovensky mluvící, můžeme komunikovat takto. 🙂

Hello. I’m just wondering if you managed to solve this and integrate with an external API.

Hello, I still haven't solved it, unfortunately. I need to connect the e-shop via API with https://codeswholesale.com/
