Avoiding KonaKart Tables

[Naresh]

Hi,

I want to use data from my database and I dont want to use the KonaKart tables.

Is there is a support to use my database instead of Konakart tables.

Thanks

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. I assume you aren't asking whether by some sort of magic the KonaKart business logic generates queries that run on your tables which we know nothing about ?

Hi Pete,

Inorder to dispaly products in the cart I have to import the data into konakart tables either by import/export tool or Api's.

Instead of that can I directly query my database and dispaly in the cart without using KonaKart tables.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use the API to add products to the cart but those products need to be accessible from the KonaKart database because they are used during the checkout process to create the order, calculate the shipping etc.

Normally what people do when they have products in another system is to create a synchronization script (using the KonaKart API) that runs at regular intervals.
