OpenCart Connectify — Multi-Channel (Amazon SP-API + Flipkart)

Connectify helps OpenCart merchants run marketplace operations from one admin module: channel setup, credential management, queue-based sync, product/order import workflows, inventory updates, feeds, mappings, logs, and cron processing.

Why Connectify?

• Faster operations: Centralized workflows for Amazon and Flipkart reduce manual copy/paste between platforms.
  
• Safer credentials handling: Masked secrets with Show/Hide and inline Edit; optional JSON bulk credential input for quicker onboarding.
  
• Scalable processing: Queue + cron architecture avoids blocking admin actions and supports retries with status visibility.
  
• Better visibility: Dashboard metrics, job queue status, and sync logs make troubleshooting straightforward.
  
• OpenCart-first approach: Optional OpenCart product/order/customer creation for practical local store operations.
