Question
I use the MCR point of sale system and would like like to know if you could help me get it integrated in my new website. My website is over a decade old, and I desperately need a new one. I'm open to whichever e-commerce platform you think would be the best one for my store. Please contact me so we can get this rolling. Thank you.
Answer
Thank you for your interest in Modern Retail. We would love to help you get your website integrated with MCR. We can also help you pick the right e-commerce platform for your store. Currently, Modern Retail can build you a website and get MCR POS integrated with Bigcommerce, Shopify, WooCommerce and Magento.
The following article describes your options around this integration:
I took a look at the MCR website but could not find any information about an application programming interface (API) or import/export capabilities (however, I may have missed it). If MCR 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 MCR and let them know you’re interested in getting MCR integrated with your website? If you copy me on the message, I’ll immediately reply asking to set up a meeting with MCR. 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.
You’ll find we’re experts at POS and ERP integrations; it’s something we've been doing for over a decade and have amassed a great deal of knowledge and technology doing 1,300+ integrations. Here are just some of the articles that I can share with you that make us different.

Please let me know if you need anything else or would like to jump on a call before getting with MCR. Thank you.
