Wordpress with WooCommerce API Multiple Product Upload - wordpress

Apologies if this may not be in the right place, but I'm really struggling to find (and understand) any information on this and have had no response from the dedicated forum.
I'm running the Flatastic Theme on Wordpress and have WooCommerce running it as a multi-vendor marketplace.
A client of mine wants to upload multiple products at once using API methods. They currently do this with eBay, their Magento site and Google Merchant.
What I want to know is, how easy it to set up my end? If I visit the WooCommerce settings, generate a key for that user and assign the right to read/write, will that suffice or do I need to do more on the backend?
Any help appreciated as I don't just want to give them the keys and assume it will work.
Thanks,
M

I'm trying to implement external REST APIs in my wordpress website. Can anybody have idea how to do it (whether with a plugin or with programming)

I tried to use one plugin called "WP Data Sync". I am also going through its documentation/ support for the same. I am also having wpbakery page builder in my website. So is there any way that we sync with that also?
Note - We have to sync data in the form of images, image gallery, events listing, and the blog posts.
Did you check out WP Data Syncs website at https://wpdatasync.com/ and create an account to check out an API key?
I'm not sure about all APIs, but the ones I've used in the past would require me to register with the API's website, get issued an API key and maybe even designate the key to a specific website (your WordPress site in this case) for security reasons. After that, you would then go to your WP site and setup the API there via WP DataSyncs plugin.
I hope I understood your question and that this helps.

can someone help me with a wordpress plugin that can compare products like this http://www.whoishostingthis.com/compare/

I need a WordPress plugin that can do comparison of different services, like the one on http://www.whoishostingthis.com/compare/
This is something that you will most likely have to program yourself. Mainly because there wont be many plugins that will go out to service provider websties, scrap the data, then aggregate it properly to compare on the field related to you.
In the sense of programming this you would want to do the following steps.
Determine what service providers you want to scrape
Scrape said providers for their prices (do it on a throttled basis or you will most likely get blocked by the providers website).
Aggregate the data and store it in a data store
Display the provider services while showing your comparison.
If you do not want to program this plugin yourself you can do a hybrid approach which requires a lot of manual intervention.
This site shows many "compare products" plugins that will allow you to compare 2 products in an ecommerce setting. If you use one of these plugins along with a wordpress ecommerce plugin you could manually enter each service provider as a "product" then display the product comparison.

WordPress Permissions Roles Manager?

I´m currently developing the Intranet for the company I am working for. The site is currently based on SharePoint, but I have to migrate it to Wordpress. And that´s my first developer experience with Wordpress, you just should know. Creating the theme, content and working with the WP Admin area works very well, but where I´m feeling defenseless is the permissions topic.
Generally, the whole page content is managed by the Marketing department. So, for me it is ok that they have access to WP Admin and I would use one of the predefined roles available.
But there will be also an area for the departments where specified users per department should be able to
edit the pre created page content
add subpages and edit its content (it would be nice if it can be defined which page templates can be selected by the user)
add posts for a pre created category (that should not be changeable by the user)
edit its profile and password
A whole access to WP Admin should be therefore prevented.
I read much information about roles, capabilities and reviewed forums and blogs presenting potential plugins. But to be honest, I´ve lost the overview and I´m totally scared about what´s the right way to do such like this the professional way.
Is there anybody who was already in such a situation or knows a good resource where to read more?
Thanks a lot.

PressPermit is the tool I choosed. It covers all needs described in my question.
Note: To use all features, you need to buy a support subscription currently available for $55 a year for one site.
However, a very powerful tool and in comparison to Advanced Access Manager I tried before, it really supports permissions also for multiple roles.
If you are thinking about, use the screencasts to see if the tool cover your needs. Unfortunately, there is no trial available, but you can request an evolution wordpress installation which was setup within one day in my case. This service costs $5.

How to create an offline form for submitting WP posts

You may have seen WP plugins that allow guests to submit posts. Those submissions proceed to the WP posts area where the admin can edit/publish them.
I want to create a form like this that I can install on my (and other people's) computers, so they can fill out the form fields for a WP post, save offline, then send to my WP site when ready.
Can anyone tell me the steps involved, and, if there is a description for what type of thing this is, please let me know to aid my search.
I am learning code at present and want to learn while building tools.
Thanks
Hi hope I can give you some hints with this answer.
I don't know what programming language you would like to use, but for the communication with your Wordpress blog you could use the WP API to create a post over REST API. It offers a API to create and edit your Wordpress Posts over HTTP.
Your programm just have to check if an connection is possible and then execute the API calls.
You could use an database to store all created post and then call the Create Post Task with the POST Method over HTTP for each post saved offline.
When the creation was successful you could update your offline database, so that the post is marked as already created.

Does Wp-Ecommerce works with LinkPoint gateway?

I have an online store working with osCommerce, actually works fine. But there is no integration with the store blog which is in Wordpress fortunatelly.
Now I've seen a new payment plugin for wordpress called Wp-Ecommerce , so i decided to migrate the whole store to wordpress since this can be treated like a CMS.
This plugin has really handy features like Meta Tag properties for each product in order to do SEO position for the store.
I've been reading about wp-ecommerce and searching through the web to find a chance to integrate it with LinkPoint, which is my client's store gateway. I must say this is an imperative requirement I have to do in order to migrate the whole site to Wordpress
Has anybody make this possible ? get wordpress working with LinkPoint ?
Looks like it currently only supports Authorize.Net. You may want to check out Shopp. The Linkpoint plug-in is not free but it is available.
