Question
I've built a network of eCommerce sites using WordPress Multi-site. My customers manufacture simple products and I'd like to build them a more robust web app that pulls in data using the wooCommerce API or upcoming WP-API.
I'm new to programming and taught myself enough to setup my server (LEMP), build a custom theme and the multi-site network... I'm wondering if theres an open source solution that I can hack a bit to get the basic MVP built. I'm not enjoying PHP and so open to suggestions.
Answer
If you're looking to use the new API for WP, there's not gonna be much available at the moment as it's still technically in the works.
I'm not super familiar with the wooCommerce API - but it sure seems like a custom solution would be in order. Something like this would require more work than a beginner might enjoy though.
If I were in your shoes, I'd look to hiring a developer to slap this together for you. This sounds pretty in-depth so it would take you quite a while to get the hang of all the custom databases and things you'd need for a project of this scope.
