Let's discuss the upcoming integration of nopCommerce and Umbraco

Hi,
We currently  working on integration of Umbraco and nopCommerce. We are going in 2 directions:

1. All data about product and categories managed in nopCommerce, Umbraco just display Views (new views without any dependancy to nop)

2. All data like text, images of product and categories managed in Umbraco, (item connected by Id from nopCommerce)  price and attributes manages by nopCommerce.


In both options all data received from nopCommerce by api pluging.

What we have now:
1. Categories list
2. Products by category
3. Sungle product

We are working on:
-Shopping cart
-Create better views to demo
-Checkout

We will publish a simple demo to review very soon.

We will glad to hear what you think as important in this integration

Hi Team,
I have few questions -

- Can User insert product from Umbraco? or user is allowed to insert product from Nopcommerce only ?

- If user is inserting product from nopcommerce then how you are managing images/text from Umbraco ?

-Is online customers will be able to access nopCommerce site also or only umbraco?
Are customers only able to buy from front end of umbraco?

Any updates from CodeGarden'17?

Will this plugin be integrated in nopcommerce?

Where is the GitHub project?

We've done what others seem to be doing as well. nop as a pure backend ecommerce platform and umbraco for front end content. All catalog and customer information is entered in umbraco using custom property editors and integrates with nop via api (i think we used the one created by noptemplates). all catalog/customer information is keep locally in umbraco (lucene) for searching etc.

How did you handle the cart and checkout?  I've considered using that nop API but didn't want to rebuild a lot of the front end components that nop handles so well.

what is the use of this integration?

nop has all features as umbraco then why integrate & manage 2 sites instead of 1?

1) When you need advanced CMS features for Nop, Umbraco can provide them
2) Otherwise Nop can provide e-commerce functions to Umbraco. Like Woocommerce for Wordpress

1~ I do not see any advanced CMS features in Umbraco that NOP does not have so why integrate both, integration of umbraco - NOP need more work like 2 different domains / subs and maintaining two sites, databases so more investment on hosting on the other hand customizing NOP only need custom work and everything is one (domain, database, maintenance work). Can U plz give example when this kind of integration will be mostly useful?

2~ In this integration umbraco will be frontend site and online store also and customers will buy products from umbraco and not NOP?

3~ Will anyone be able to buy directly from NOP site also because then we are talking about 2 side integration?

4~ Is this a 1 side integration where only umbraco site is the main site and NOP is for backend only for adding products and not store front and all data is doing from umbraco to nop DB?

5~ Is this integration supporting everything like all payment methods, all shipping options, all taxes?

6~ How the integration work for payment methods and shipping, taxes, newsletters and everything else needed for selling products on umbraco?

7~ How multistore nop site can be used with this integration?

8~ For mutlistore store owners have to install multiple instances of umbraco and link with each NOP store domain like store1 - umbraco 1, store2-umbrac2?

I recommend you take some time and research umbraco, you will find it is a very powerful and versatile cms. Its cms capabilities are far greater than nop's cms (topics). However nop is a powerful ecommerce platform....apples and oranges by comparison.


2~ In this integration umbraco will be frontend site and online store also and customers will buy products from umbraco and not NOP?

correct


3~ Will anyone be able to buy directly from NOP site also because then we are talking about 2 side integration?

No, the nop installation is not public


4~ Is this a 1 side integration where only umbraco site is the main site and NOP is for backend only for adding products and not store front and all data is doing from umbraco to nop DB?

Yes, sort of. umbraco will communicate with nop and take advantage of all the ecommerce business logic via a rest api. Our client insisted on a single admin section, so basic product management was replicated in umbraco using a custom section. Reinventing the wheel maybe, but clients want what clients want and if they want to pay for the dev despite given advice to the contrary, well who am I to say no.


5~ Is this integration supporting everything like all payment methods, all shipping options, all taxes?

Yes

6~ How the integration work for payment methods and shipping, taxes, newsletters and everything else needed for selling products on umbraco?

Shipping, taxes and payment methods are handled via api. Newsletters are not needed to sell anything.


7~ How multistore nop site can be used with this integration?

umbraco is multi-domain capable. However we have no requirement for this at the moment. If we do, the storeId will be specified in umbraco and passed to the api.


8~ For mutlistore store owners have to install multiple instances of umbraco and link with each NOP store domain like store1 - umbraco 1, store2-umbrac2?

No, umbraco is multi-domain capable. One install of umbraco and one install of nop = many umbraco sites and many nop stores.

We've done what others seem to be doing as well. nop as a pure backend ecommerce platform and umbraco for front end content. All catalog and customer information is entered in umbraco using custom property editors and integrates with nop via api (i think we used the one created by noptemplates). all catalog/customer information is keep locally in umbraco (lucene) for searching etc.

nop as a service? there's an idea.
