Questions

OpenCart frequently asked questions

Why a connector file?

OpenCart’s own API covers the cart and the checkout, not products and stock. The connector is one readable PHP file that gives Channekt exactly what it needs and nothing more.

Where does the file go?

In your shop’s root folder, beside config.php, over FTP or your host’s file manager.

Where do orders go?

Into the same order list as every other channel, with the customer, the address and the lines, so they are picked, packed and labelled at the same bench.

Does the customer get a shipped email?

The tracking number is added to the order’s history, where the customer sees it in their account.

How do I disconnect?

Disconnect in Channekt and delete channekt.php from your shop.
