• Custom APIs: Any platform with REST API access

Set Up Authentication

Each platform requires specific authentication:

// Example: Shopify API configuration
const shopifyConfig = {
  shopDomain: 'your-store.myshopify.com',
  accessToken: 'your-access-token',
  apiVersion: '2024-01'
};

Configure Data Mappings

Define how data flows between your platforms:

# Example: Product synchronization
product_sync:
  source: shopify
  target: magento
  fields:
    - name: title
    - price: price
    - inventory: stock_quantity
  schedule: "every 5 minutes"

Step 4: Test Your Integration

Verify Connection

1. Navigate to the Connections tab in your dashboard
2. Check the status of your platform connections
3. Verify that authentication is working correctly

Test Data Flow

1. Create a test product in your source platform
2. Monitor the data flow in the Activity tab
3. Verify the product appears in your target platform
