There are some products out there that you could integrate into your project, but I haven’t looked at this for a while. These would either be via an API or from memory a lot were their own embeddable javascript widgets which work great standalone but are hard to integrate well into your broader app.

But at least from when I last looked a couple of years ago, these things are all pretty expensive to use. Like hundreds of dollars a month with lengthy subscription periods. So if this is over your budget then you might be best to just look at doing something manually from the data you have.

Thanks will look into it

I’d just remembered a solution I’d looked into using before, hope this helps - partly.com

I’d come across them through the Shopify App Store and their pricing there is $199/mo at least. They don’t have pricing on their website for using them outside of Shopify but I’d assume it would be a similar starting point. As I said - it’s not cheap.

In my testing I found their product to be OK but not amazing, but I think it was still in it’s infancy then - and on a quick look at their website at least seems like they’ve grown up a lot since I last looked.

Full disclosure though, I am based in Australia and I was looking at their product through that lens. Australia is a tiny RHD market and therefore most products like this just don’t work well. But depending on your market it may be a totally different story for you.

Other solutions I’d investigated way back were all provided by suppliers as closed systems. They were honestly the best options but the UX was horrible, they were slow and clunky, and you needed to use their people to implement those solutions at crazy costs.
