It is a small but powerful web application for matching product providers’ categories with vendor categories defined in an OpenCart e-commerce system. Product providers’ categories are extracted from xml exports published in their web addresses. Vendor’s categories are obtained from its OpenCart API working based on OAuth 2.0 protocol. Matching results are exported as a set of Excel functions that can be used to import product data from a provider xml file to the vendor OpenCart system. The system was developed using TPS framework. Also, jQuery AJAX technology was used to obtain vendor categories from its OpenCart system.
