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). In some cases, store connection may be hindered by the necessity for store owners to expose their FTP credentials or/and make a number of tiresome movements.
