I am going to start a new website and I have looked at so many sitebuilder programs - my head is swimming. Can you tell me on this one when the site and shopping cart are set up can you automatically send orders from the cart directly to your dropship vendors. I really don't want to send orders manually - I would love everything to be automated.

Anything is possible, waht kind of API does your dropship vendor use. How does he accept orders?

I am not sure what API is - what I do know is that orders for a particular product go to a particular vendor via email. My current site has many products and many vendors and when one product is ordered, the pertinent order information goes to that vendor only. On this site that I want to create, to start I will only have one vendor, but I want that vendor to get an order notification (with all the pertinent shipping information) automatically. I also want to make sure that if in the future if I add other vendors to this site they too can get the order automatically. I also want to make sure that that feature - sends the right order to the right vendor. Gosh I hope this make sense, but this is one of the most important features I am looking for - I don't want to be tied to my computer all day sending orders to factories, I want them to receive the order whether I am in the office or on vacation or sick or whatever. By the way thank you for trying to help me find this answer. Julie Quote:

Short for Application Program Interface, API is a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer puts the blocks together. Most operating environments, such as MS-Windows, provide an API so that programmers can write applications consistent with the operating environment. Although APIs are designed for programmers, they are ultimately good for users because they guarantee that all programs using a common API will have similar interfaces. This makes it easier for users to learn new programs.

You still need to find out how your dropship company accepts automated orders. I'm sure you will not be a slave to your computer at first. You can proccess orders once or twice a day. We offer oscommerce as a shopiing cart. Very high satisfaction rating. Oscommerce is one of the best ones around.

Hi, thanks for your reply and the tutorial link.... but that doesn't answer my question about if you already have CRE LOADED 6.1x OSCOMMERCE this has far more functions than the standard osCommerce such as Easily set up Meta Tags to attract Search Engines Upload dozens, hundreds or even thousands of products at once with EasyPopulate Does your shopping cart come with EasyPopulate installed? and all the rest of the items in the above list? Or is that something I would have to purchase seperately and install myself? Regards, Steve |
