The Basics: How Unify Desktop connects to online stores
FollowThe Webgility Store Module is the most important component of the Unify Desktop and online store integration. For PHP carts, the store module allows Unify Desktop to communicate with the online store, while keeping the online store database secure.
The store module is utilized by Unify Desktop, Unify and Shiplark.
The Webgility Store Module can be installed in the store in three ways:
- The Unify Desktop Software.
- FTP client (FireFTP or FileZilla).
- By extension into the admin area of an online store.
PHP carts
These carts require the module to be installed either with the software or by using a FTP client. These carts are:
Opencart, X-cart and pinnacle cart.
PHP carts with extensions
Although these carts are PHP carts, the Webgility Store module can be installed as an extension into the backend of the admin area. These carts are:
Woocommerce
Hosted Carts
These carts connect to Unify Desktop using the built-in API that sends encrypted information between the online store and Unify Desktop. Therefore the Webgility Store module is not required. These carts are:
Bigcommerce, 3dcart, Shopify, Volusion and Yahoo! Store.
Marketplaces
All marketplaces have their own way of connecting Unify Desktop to their API. Therefore the Webgility Store Module is not required. These marketplaces are:
Amazon US/UK/CA, eBay US, eBay UK and Etsy
