Project Summary

Geeks Root implemented a custom integration to synchronize an online wellness retailer's product catalog, prices, and inventory with multiple suppliers. The vendor connected to supplier APIs and developed scripts using JSON/XML/JavaScript, integrating with the client’s PHP-based shopping cart and MySQL database. The solution enabled accurate inventory display, automated price updates, and automatic product imports, with clear communication and recorded meetings.

Key Challenges

Project Solution

Geeks Root integrated the client’s PHP/MySQL shopping cart with multiple supplier APIs. The vendor received access to the development environment and supplier API documentation and credentials, then developed the integration using JSON, XML and JavaScript (with server-side PHP). They implemented automated synchronization of products, inventory levels, and prices, conducted testing cycles with the client, and iterated until the integration met specifications.
