IDS Connect interface

Version 2.5 · for Adobe Commerce, Magento 1/2, Shopware 5/6, OXID eShop, WooCommerce

Do your trade customers order through their trade software? With the IDS Connect interface the software opens your shop directly. Availability, stock levels and customer-specific prices are always current, and the cart goes back into the software.

IDS Connect (Integrierte Daten-Schnittstelle, integrated data interface) is the interface through which trade software opens a wholesaler's online shop, searches for products there, checks prices and availability and takes the cart into the software. ITEK GmbH developed it for the German trade associations BVBS, DG Haustechnik and ZVSHK; the current version is 2.5. Our extension connects your shop via IDS Connect 2.5.

From the trade software into your shop and back.

  2. Shopping

    They see availability, stock levels and their customer-specific prices and add items to the cart.

  3. Return to the software

    The cart is handed over to the trade software with all product data.

  4. Order to the shop

    In the other direction, the software sends the customer's order requests to your shop.

Besides the cart, the interface supports product deep links and product search from within the software.
