Smartstore API

Hi,

I would like to find out more about the Smartstore API and what it can do.

I would like to build a mobile app for my customers to use (customer register, browse stock, place orders, etc).

Can the Smartstore OData API achieve this?

Kind regards,

John 

Hi John,

sure, but maybe a custom smartstore plugin is a better way to connect many app users to your shop, without api overhead and performance issues. This should be discussed with a developer from us.

This is a more business-related question: Do you really need an app? Customers have to install it on their mobile device. A major hurdle. Often not worth the app development effort. Do you believe, that they will install it in large enough numbers?

On the other hand, Smartstore has a great mobile web interface.

Greetings, Stefan

Good point. I was just looking into it for the future.

Another question that's possible related: Can Smartstore have multiple inventory locations?

For example if I have an online store as well as two physical stores. Can they each have their own inventory per store (both stores will share the same products)?

Hello John, 

"multiple inventory locations?"

not out-of-the-box, that is it is not included in the standard software.

I remember we provided that feature for a client, as a custom development.

Please contact us at sales@smartstore.com for a price quote.

Greetings, Stefan
