Is it possible to combine zen cart with existing shop database

Hi there,

I have a client very interested in having a shopping cart in their website.... the problem is they also are having an epos system installed in their shop, where stock is held in an SQL database....

How easy/difficult is it to integrate the SQL for the shop with a new online shop? The clients wants their to be only one product database, with only one product list.

Warm Regards,

Joel

The DB structure will have to be identical for this to work -

Zen Cart's DB structure would be the one to align with to reduce the amount of code changes -

You might have a look at a POS that is designed with the Zen Cart DB in mind
