How plugin works

OT plugin (WooCommerce for Wordpress with API Key OT integration) allows to get and display product information of popular marketplaces on your WooCommerce site from OpenTrade Commerce database by API.

OT plugin works on the principle of product information broadcasting. This means that all goods are stored in OpenTrade Commerce database. Information about goods is transferred to WooCommerce online store via API. 

User can add any product to the shopping cart. Product is added to WooCommerce database when client adds it to the cart. At this stage, OT plugin work is rolled up. Business logic of WooCommerce plugin for Wordpress starts working, which will allow user to place an order. OT plugin does not take part in order formation, it is only required to display and update product information.

OT plugin adds 3 pages to your WordPress site:

• Catalog - product categories of your API OT Key (for example, https://woocommerce-plugin-demo.otcommerce.com/category-external/).
• Product search page - search output of products. For example:

• • goods in category: https://woocommerce-plugin-demo.otcommerce.com/search-external/?cid=otc-2;
  • search by phrase: https://woocommerce-plugin-demo.otcommerce.com/search-external/?search=%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%D0%B5;
  • other options for product search.

• Product card - detailed information about the product on a separate page (for example, https://woocommerce-plugin-demo.otcommerce.com/product-external/790335568098/)

This operation principle allows to accomplish the following tasks:

1. Wordpress online store is not designed to store a large amount of data (more than 1 billion products). If all products are uploaded directly to WordPress online store, it will significantly reduce website speed and performance or lead to a complete stop of online store. OT plugin allows to receive and display information about millions of products of popular marketplaces into WordPress online store without compromising site performance. Transferring data about products via API does not load the site and it works as usual.
2. Storing a large amount of information requires significant costs for servers and their maintenance. In our development, all information is stored in OT database and you pay only for calls made to get required product information. You can read more about calls here. 
3. Using API to get product information allows to show customers only the products they are looking for and want to buy. This way, you won't pay for all products at once, but only for required ones. This will optimize and reduce your costs.
4. Goods search by API works much faster than by huge product database.

Plugin work features 

Working with shopping cart

Goods are added to the shopping cart according to the following principles:

1. Each configuration is a new product (for example, red and blue dress from one product card will be displayed as 2 products: red dress and blue dress). This is done because goods by price can be different and have different balance.
2. If you add again an item that has already been added to the cart, you will have 2 separate items. This helps when working with provider 1688 with a limit on items minimum number and different prices which depend on items number. In addition, this is a feature of system's work with the broadcast of goods. 
3. If a product is added today, but it was issued on another day or week, price will most likely be outdated. However, there is a solution to this. See "Updating price and balances" section.
4. It's not possible to leave product review after ordering, as products are not stored in WordPress online store database.

Updating price and balances

There is a special button in details of each order to sell item at current price (or offer an analog if seller has run out of item).

Click "Update Price and Balances" under each item before processing the order and notify customer if something has changed.
