Hi Forum,
I have a client that has a supplier that offers a "Webservice" that provides content and details from products assigned to their unique business id.
I am unsure how to integrate this with CMSMS, I have used the CMSMS E-commerce suite to do a few sites without much difficulty, but never used an external source for the products content and images, is this possible with CMSMS?
Here's a link to the documentation they gave me, I'm not 100% sure what each code does? http://business.masterpet.co.nz/webservices/doc/
Any help would be very much appreciated!

Re: Third party e-commerce products
When it comes to integrations, there is usually no ready solution available.
That dosen't mean thing you trying to do is impossible.
If i would be you i would look some CMSMS friendly programmer that has done integrations to other systems before and hire him.
Two options i can think:
1) Make module that skips products module completely and pulls data from source and caches it.
2) Make some sort of cron script that imports products from source to Products module by using modules API.
Like i said it's pain in ass and there is no ready solution and it always costs.
