The easiest way would be to feed both website from a single database with all of your products in it. This way, you update your database and both websites are affected.

If you have them share a database of products they will both be updated simultaneously. If they run on the same server that is easy to do. You can also create a webpage that automatically adds the products to both databases.

That sounds perfect, only I'm a little confused. One of my websites is atomaticly updated, I only have the power automaticly to update that site. I would like to somehow link the other site to feed off of the updated site. Sorry I don't really understand database. Should/Can I set up a database of my updated site and like the other site feed of of it? Or can you please do more in depth about the process?

Do you have access to the code and database of the second site?

The site that is receiving the products is receiving the products automatically (They won't let me do this for more then one site). Also the automatic products are coming in with links to buy from another site. I want to set something up so I can get products automatically but have them be bought threw me. I have many different templates including Os-commerce any help will be much appreciated.

Hi Nezra,

Ecommerce is a large and sophicated subject. From what you have written it seems you have little knowledge or experience and do not have a firm grasp of what you are dealing with.

Oscommerce templates are not going to help here. When you say sales go to another site, don't you get an affilaite's commission?

It would be helpful if you posted the URL of the sites concerned. But it does seem to me that what you are asking is beyond the scope of a forum such as this and you shoudl seek and pay for professional assistance.

You should be able to write a PHP script that synchronizes new entries into both databases. Do you do your own programming? Or do you have someone do it for you?

I don't know how to program... yeah the problem is that I have a site that has automatic updates but the when something is ordered it goes to the programs profit. Wow drama in lebanon... Good thing I'm a Christan far away from the action./
