Question
I'm using TouchRetail's RapidStock inventory management and POS software. I'm building a website based on WooCommerce and would like to be able to sync TouchRetail inventory with their online store. Can Modern Retail do this integration for me?
Answer
Thank you for your interest in Modern Retail and our WooCommerce Integrator. We don’t yet have an integration with Touch Retail, but we’d love to have one!
The following article describes your options around this integration:
I took a look at the Touch Retail website but could not find any information about an application programming interface (API) or import/export capabilities. If Touch Retail has an API, then it would be fairly easy to get their API connected to our Middleware/API. If they don’t have an API, then we could always use Modern Retail's Inventory CSV/XML Uploader using FTP. We have a variety of other methods that we’ve used over the years which we could also try.
May I make a suggestion? Could you please e-mail your representative at Touch Retail and let them know you’re interested in getting Touch Retail integrated with your website? If you copy me on the message, I’ll immediately reply asking to set up a meeting with Touch Retail. Getting our developers to talk with their developers, even for 30 minutes, makes a huge difference and can really help to “jump start” the integration efforts.
I suspect you’re also interested in how the integration works from the WooCommerce side, so please read:
