How to integrate mobile app with Wordpress

I am working on a mini e-commerce mobile app for a pharmacy. What I need is:

  1. Register through the mobile app and using the Wordpress registration utility. The registration process will include sending the profile avatar and optionally an insurance identity image as a base 64 encoded from the mobile app. The images should be converted, stored on an wp-content/upload folder, and their URL stored as user meta.

  2. Login using the Wordpress credentials.

  3. Insert/Update/Delete/View a product with its data.
  4. Insert/Update/Delete/View a shopping cart (per user).
  5. Insert/Update/Delete/View all orders (all and per user).

I am very new to Wordpress. I have to use Wordpress as there is already a Wordpress site for the pharmacy and we need to make something to plug it in with the existed website easily.

Solution

  • I found those plugins which helped me getting most of the job done JSON API, JSON API Auth, JSON API User, and CoCart. Also I had to turn on the REST API at WooCommerce-> Settings-> Advanced tab
