Magento + API
Connect Magento to supplier APIs without custom connectors
Adding a supplier should not mean building another connection into Magento. Dropday sends orders to your suppliers’ APIs, helping you reduce manual ordering and manage supplier connections outside your store.

1
Bring new orders into Dropday
The extension sends new Magento orders to Dropday and records the transfer in the Magento order history.
2

Your rules decide which supplier receives each product. Dropday prepares the relevant order details for each supplier’s API.

Keep supplier-specific connections out of your Magento code
Different suppliers have different requirements for receiving orders. Building and maintaining a separate connector for each one adds work to your Magento setup. With orders via API, Dropday prepares the order information for each supplier and manages the connection outside your store.
The Dropday extension for Magento provides the store connection. As your supplier network changes, you manage the supplier connections in Dropday rather than maintaining a growing collection of connectors in Magento.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a separate Magento connector for each supplier?
No. The Dropday extension connects your store, while the API connections to your suppliers are managed in Dropday.
Can suppliers use different connection methods?
Yes. You can send orders to one supplier through an API and use email, EDI or another supported method for other suppliers.
Can I approve orders before sending them?
Yes. Hold orders for selected suppliers until you have checked and approved them in Dropday.
Can I see in Magento that an order reached Dropday?
Yes. The Magento order history records the transfer to Dropday. In Dropday, you can then follow the sending result for each supplier.
What if an order cannot be sent to a supplier?
Dropday shows the failed sending result and can retain the supplier’s response in the order log. Once the issue is resolved, you can resend the supplier order.
