Portal Connector
Introduction
With this module, you provide the frequently used price comparison services or product search portals such as “toppreise”, the price search engine “Become” or “kelkoo” with the required data. In this way, the products in the shop can easily be listed and advertised by these services.
The connections are very flexible and meet the latest standards, e.g. the cheapest shipping method is determined for the home delivery country and the shipping costs of the article with this shipping method are calculated on-the-fly and transmitted to the connected portal. Delivery availability data and manufacturer information can also be transmitted in detail; this ensures you a better positioning than if such information is not provided or only insufficiently.
