Nowadays, building a mobile app for a web store is easier, simpler and more affordable. Using mobile app building system online store owners can create and publish their own mobile apps without the hassle of knowing how to code the app itself.
As e-retailers build their stores based on different platforms, for you as a mobile app building service provider, integration with these platforms is crucial. However, each platform has a specific way of data storage. This means that you need to elaborate integration module for each platform separately. It would be a bit hard because the process of developing is complex and requires a lot of time and money spendings to be done.
A better solution is to use a unified API by API2Cart and avoid the necessity to make separate connections. By performing one integration with API2Cart, your system can retrieve, add, and update the needed data from more than 40 shopping platforms including Magento, Shopify, WooCommerce, Prestashop, and many others.

Sync Orders
There are two ways to learn about new orders on stores:
- Webhook for order.add event

Another option for tracking new orders is executing order.list method once in a while to get list of products to be imported to your system. Filter orders by create time with created_from and created_to parameters.
Add new orders with order.add method.
