Stone Edge Order Manager & Product Cart

What is the status on Stone Edge and Product Cart integration?

Thanks,

Yes, we are almost done. We are doing some final testing.

We have tabled this integration for now, due to the fact that StoneEdge has told us that a new XML based integration is forthcoming.  Please check back in 3-4 weeks for an update.

We have developed our own integration with Stone Edge.  Here is what I recommend.

1.  Use the Stone Edge Order Manager's custom order import feature and import orders from Product Cart into Stone Edge's Order Manager.

2.  If you are pretty good with writting SQL queries then write a query that updates Product Cart stock values from Stone Edge (Access Database) and have it run every hour or so using a Job scheduler.  You can do with with SQL Express (Free) and a product like SQL Express Job Builder from Vale Software to do the schedule.  Most of the time your Order Management System will be at your physical location and your website hosted somewhere else.

We actually do a little more tighter integration but that will take longer to develop.  Just remember that you will not be able to send order information back to Product Cart.  So when you choose to move to Stone Edge you will want it to handle all your fullfillment needs.

Hope this helps.

I would also be very interested in having this integration with Stone Edge Order Manager, especially considering that we already own a license for Stone Edge and are currently running two ProductCart stores!
