Re: Managing inventory using API

The short answer is Yes, it is possible. You can treat an external platform, like an ERP, OMS, WMS, POS, or Inventory Management software as your data master for product and inventory data. Similarly, orders can flow between your two systems via Magento's API. This is all pretty common. 

 

Depending on what system you're trying to connect via API, there may already be existing connectors available in the Magento Marketplace, or through other sources, such as integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) providers.

 

Best of luck!

Order and Inventory Management Software Workflow
#1 Import orders from any sales channel.
#2 Sync inventory management across different platforms.
#3 Create shipments and update order statuses.
#4 Make reports to track the situation on each sales channel.
