Question
I use CounterPoint as my point of sale system in-store and have some special requirements for a website integration. I looked at NRO, but I don't think it will work for my business landscaping. I sell a lot of products that need to be configured in a certain way and believe we need Magento. My current website was custom developed for me a few years ago, but I don't think that's the right solution either. Instead, Magento seems like a good fit but was wondering if you had any thoughts. I have some unique requirements around customers as I may add a B2B component to the website later. Please send me any information you can provide. Thank you.
Answer
I absolutely think you’re right in picking an e-commerce platform like Magento. IMO platforms are the way to go because there are so many 3rd party extensions and agencies who works with these platforms. Here’s a graph you might like, which you can find here: https://trends.builtwith.com/shop
You can get an overview and purchase our CounterPoint Integrator here:

- We may need to customize the integration depending on your requirements around customers and B2B. We'll need to talk to make sure.
