Integration with the platform via API
This section describes the process of integration the E-Commerce store with our platform, which provides API for working with products and orders. The integration includes two approaches: local storage of product information and the use of API for product search and categorization - a search index compatible with Algolia Search.
General Information
The API provides the following methods:
• Retrieve product list: API Request to get an up-to-date list of all available products.
• Getting information about a specific product: API Request to get detailed information about the selected product.
• Order creation: API Request to create a new order specifying the required parameters.
• Get order status: API Request to get the current status of a previously created order.
Integrations types
Integration with local storage of product information
In this approach, the system stores product information locally and updates it at certain intervals through the platform's API.
Integration using the platform's Algolia Search index
In this approach, the system uses the platform's API to search and categorize products, storing only information about customers and their orders.
The choice of integration approach depends on your business requirements, the volume of data and the frequency of product information updates. Both approaches have their advantages and can be customized to meet specific system needs.
