Hello,
I am still new on this support forum, but I am hoping someone can give me some tips.
I am evaluating shopware 5 to see if it can meet some demands.
The products are allready available in a external database / website and we are able to build code to produce xml, csv, json on request.
We need to 'inject' new products, update selling prices (every hour), update descriptions and other related data.
Shopware 5 seems to offer a rest API and an import system.
The REST api seems to be the best choice. But is this meant for single product updates or can it also handle bulk insertion?
The import mechanism can also be an option, but how to automate this (with external source of data) and bulk updates are likely to be very slow (Or am I wrong here?)
Direct DB writing requires everything to be exactly the same, and does not feel like the proper way in Shopware 5. (Correct me if I'm wrong here )
Retrieving the productdata from the external database within a custom plugin seems possible, does this open other possibillities?
Best regards
