Supplier plugins for Shop-Script

The problem

A store that resells from a large wholesaler needs the supplier's full catalogue with current prices and stock, refreshed without someone copying data every day. Every supplier has its own API or file format.

What we built

Since 2017 we have published 13 plugins in the Webasyst store, each built for one supplier. Among them:

• Proekt 111 (gifts.ru): the official API, print layouts and markup rules.
• Happy Gifts, Okean Podarkov, ARTEgifts and Portobello for gift and souvenir catalogues.
• Merlion: SOAP API 3.0, three pricing strategies, a minimum margin and delta sync that transfers only changes.
• Russkiy Svet (RS24): JSON API, ETIM classification, product documents, a minimum margin and a minimum retail price.
• Treolan, Samson-Opt and other distributors.

What merchants get

A store can carry a supplier's range with stock refreshed automatically, and the Merlion and RS24 plugins keep prices above a minimum margin. We reuse this work in the custom supplier integrations we build for client stores.
