    For my case, I develop my e-commerce website using wordpress. On the other hand, i code the mobile apps ios and android in pure native ways with a cms system to save customer info, ordee info and push notification feature.

    The problem here is, how do I sync my backend info for example customer info, order info across website and mobile apps?
    Any suggestion?

    Thank you very much.

    Hi woonwg,

    Can you confirm the URL of the site you’re looking for assistance on?

    I have a feeling your site is hosted on WordPress.org. For more on what that means, you can check out this link: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If that is the case, your question will be better answered on the support forums for WordPress.org found here: https://wordpress.org/support/

    Let me know!

    erm.. i think i had confused you. Sorry. I explain again ya.

    Let’s say my e-commerce website use woocommerce plugin for example, but my mobile apps are coded in swift or java android. How can my apps get the data of the wocommerce order details and also customer login information and vice versa.

    Hi woonwg,

    I’m sorry if I misunderstood! Can you let me know the address of your ecommerce store?

    For a technical question such as this, you may get better help directly from WooCommere, either in the Support docs https://docs.woocommerce.com/ or by submitting a ticket if you are a WooCommerce customer: https://woocommerce.com/contact-us

    Hope I’ve been able to point you in the right direction!

    Hi @woonwg,
    Are you using an existing cms, or is this also custom built?

    Just to be clear, are you trying to sync with a self-hosted WordPress, or are you trying to sync with a WordPress site hosted through WordPress.com?

    The cms for mobile apps would be custom built.
    I am trying to sync with a self-hosted wordpress site.

    The sync part is kind of the wordpress database and mobile apps database has the same data. Or both the wordpress and mobile apps call to the same database retrieve the info.

    My mobile apps call backend api to talk to db. The cms is for admin easy viewing and editting purpose.

    I don know how could this be done, which are the correct way. How are this two cms data be connected or sync. Lots of questions on these.

    Appreciate if you could spare some time explain it here. Thank you.

    @woonwg,
    I’m not sure you can communicate with the WordPress.com database. I could be wrong, but it looks like they deprecated API keys and only had limited support for them anyway:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/api-keys/

    That said, if you’re looking to interact with a self-hosted WordPress I’d suggest heading over to GitHub and checking out some of the repos over there.
