 * Hi!
    I am creating an Ecommerce site for a client and they are dealing with a
   dropshipping company. The company allows you to download a CSV of all the products
   and their stock. I am afraid that we can’t always just update the stock because
   that will take too long (Example: If someone from a different company makes an
   order and the item goes out of stock, we won’t get an update unless we re-upload
   the CSV) The company offers an API that would update things automatically. How
   can I use the API to update the stock live? (If possible) Thanks
 * The credentials of the API are in this form

 * Hello [@ahmadallouch](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ahmadallouch/) ,
 * If the products are in WooCommerce and you are getting the order in WooCommerce
   then the stock will be updated accordingly. On the other hand, if the requirement
   is to update a new stock with an API request you can use WooCommerce’s REST API
   to update a product. You can find the API documentation here – [https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#update-a-product](https://woocommerce.github.io/woocommerce-rest-api-docs/#update-a-product)
 * The integration might require extensive customization so please consult with 
   an expert of this field.
 * Thank you 🙂

 * Hi Rashed,
    Thanks so much for your reply. The products are from scentsworld.
   com. It has an API for real-time product updates and the API is not WooCommerce.
   What do you think is the easiest way to integrate the API into WooCommerce?

 * You can use the REST API to connect with your Dropshipping service.
 * I looked for a ready-made solution but it looks like there is no plugin or solution
   available that you can use.
 * > What do you think is the easiest way to integrate the API into WooCommerce?
 * Integrating API calls from a third party solution will require an extensive amount
   of development. Experts of both WooCommerce and the service you are integrating
   with will be required.
 * Here is a good article on how to use WooCommerce’s API -https://sgwebpartners.

 * I just switched suppliers because it was too tedious to do all of it for the 
   return.
    Thanks!
