Some shopping carts provide their APIs, some of them don’t. As a result, the process of connecting stores varies from one platform to another. The way your customers connect to your system depends on the type of shopping cart their stores are based on: hosted (e.g. Shopify, Bigcommerce) or open-source (e.g. WooCommerce, Magento).
